She's My Babylon

This is an absolutely wonderful and beautiful song and video by one of my favourite bands - Angus and Julia Stone.

Take a listen.

Babylon - Angus and Julia Stone

So rest your head-

you’re all mine.

And I stay awake,

I won’t go home.

Let’s go on a holiday.

To burn this town

She’s my Babylon.

So rest your heart-

you’re all mine.

Because if you walk away,

I fall on down.

And bleed, red as blood-

Red as wine.

She’s my Babylon.

No I don’t want to

see you go.

No I don’t want to

be alone.

So rest your hand -

you’re all mine.

I can’t stay awake,

my eyes fall down.

Said I dreamed a dream

that you walk ‘round

She’s my Babylon.

No I don’t want to

See you go.

No I don’t want to

Be alone

No I don’t want to

Be alone.

No I don’t want to

Be alone.

Geese

All the leaves turn green in the summer


All the roses bloom in May


All the geese fly home for the winter


High above our earth now paved.

All the stars gleam for the night time


And the moon reflects its adjacent sun
Its so hard to find real answers 


When no real side has won.

Prechorus:
Well the grass covers up my body


And the river taught me to hear


Well trees have served as my refuge


And the dark it taught me to fear

Chorus:
All the men that live to burn


All the arms that love to hurt


All the hearts that have turned their worst..


We’re so cold.

All the leaves soon loose their color


And the roses begin to fade


Crying loud I hear our mother


For just a few of those geese that were saved.

Prechorus:
Well the grass covers up my body


And the river taught me to hear


Well trees have served as my refuge


And the dark it taught me to fear

Chorus:
All the men that live to burn


All the arms that love to hurt


All the hearts that have turned their worst..


We’re so cold.

Come on and Drive Me Wild

Matt Nathanson's "Still" from the album "Some Mad Hope" is amazingg. Really, this whole album just blows me away. You should take a listen. Anyway, I'd like to talk about "Still" just because these lyrics are uniquely so meaningful, sweet and passionate and really hot at the same time. In addition, the words and music just go together so well. 


The music sets a perfect portrayal of passion but the words are hot and intimate. Thanks to my good friend Aaron for introducing to me this song!
(Song and lyrics below).



I remember hearts that beat yeah, yeah
I remember you and me,yeah, oh yeah
Tangled in hotel sheets
You wore me out
You wore me out

I remember honey lips and words so true
I remember nonstop earthquake dreams of you
You're coming on fast like good dreams do
All night long

Still can feel you kiss me love
Still can see your brown skin shine, shine
Still can feel you kiss me love
Come on and drive me wild (me wild)

And you move like water, yeah
And you broke like waves
I've never been deeper, so far gone
Your sister in the next room with the television on

Still can feel you kiss me love
Still can see your brown skin shine, shine
Still can feel you kiss me love
Come on and drive me wild
Come on and drive me wild
Come on and drive me wild

I remember hearts that beat,yeah
I remember you and me
Tangled in hotel sheets (for hours)

Still can feel you kiss me love
Still can see your brown skin shine, shine
Still can feel you kiss me love
Come on and drive me wild

Still can feel you kiss me love
Still can see your eyes like diamonds, diamonds
Memories are strong enough
To come on and drive me wild
Come on and drive me wild
