Words that speak

I love music. I love the melodies, the harmonies and the lyrics. I thoroughly enjoy taking out the jacket on a new cd and reading the lyrics - even before I've popped the cde into the player. I love words that speak. Lyrics say so much about a song to me. It can have a crap melody and little to know harmony, but if there is a line that jumps out at me, I'll love the song. So that's why every now and again I'll share some song lyrics with whomever comes across this wee little blog 'o mine.

Here are some great song lyrics from one of my favorite bands of the year Keane

Somewhere Only We Know

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branched of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?


Something to think about.

Blessings.
