Sometimes I like listening to melancholy music. I don't know why. It makes me...think deeper and feel artistic. Perhaps because I have this idea that artists are deep and moody.
Regardless, a friend of mine just sent me a song he wrote with only acoustic guitar.
I liked it a lot. It made me think of City & Colour.
So now I listen to City & Colour.
Lyrics for the night:
Your words are like knives
They peel my skin and pierce my soul...
Your body will burn tonight...
Though your heart may still remain cold
And I will blame myself
And I will blame myself
For holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side
I will blame myself
The Sheets are stained with...
Memories of your soft kiss
Now this is all I have
Paper and pen to remember you with
And I will blame myself
And I will blame myself
For holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side
I will blame myself
Can I have you...
I hear you girl. Lately I'm all "tortured artist"... listening to Gary Jules, Joshua Radin, Joni Mitchell and such.
ReplyDeletep.s. glad to know the potential moment passed.
Hello Vanessa!
ReplyDeleteThank God that you and Jamie are unharmed from that potentially fatal accident. Thank God indeed.
I thought you might enjoy Thrice:

I recommend you to listen to all their songs (via earphone so you can hear all the quality details) and read the lyrics; they're just a click away. Ah, such amazing music! Enjoy!
praying for you,
Lisa
Hey Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI listened to a few of the songs. They are ok. A little too angry sounding for me - maybe not angry, just to hard for me.
Keep the suggestions coming, though! I just might find my newest music crush! :)
