I love these lyrics...
The thrill here is quicker than you'd think
The way some jet-lagged bar kept pouring the wine
From over their heads then sit back down again
Four times is once too much for love
That's how many times the clock struck
I wandered home, saying your name
The arches here were built 'cause they don't fall
The cat dead drawls to make you feel small
You might find your small soul
Leave the preaching to the president
The crowd cheers, his eyes get wet
I'm full as it is, I'm full as it is
So don't feed me more
You'll be having my head, big as a birthday
'Cause I left all my doubts on the airplane
I didn't know, I didn't know I'm not in control
I didn't know, I'm not invincible
And maybe some things are better left unsaid
But if you wanted to test that, I will, yeah, I guess, I could've said
But there were nights in bars that I recall
Your breath was courage laced with alcohol
You leaned in, you said,
"Make music with the chatter in here,
And whisper all the notes in my ears."
I didn't know, I didn't know the way of my tongue
I didn't know, I didn't know what I'd done
The lights here are softer than you'd think
The dim lit peacocks in the trees,
They're hiding their eyes and their beauty, like me
But if my eyes were on my back
I know what I'd be looking at
Through every shade of brown and green
I didn't know, I didn't know it was nothing new
I didn't know, I didn't know it was you
There is no visual on this video, but I think its worth closing your eyes and just listening anyways...I just did and I had my very own fabulous visual...isnt that what its all about??

I completely agree. I posted the same song. It was the lyrics that drew me in too. Cheers.
Seems I will have to check your posts before I post now...lol.. and yes sometimes the lyrics just speak, these screamed actually... :-)
For some reason I found myself, at one point, taking into consideration whether or not someone else had posted the same song before I picked "the chosen one" to post; however, I quickly realized how foolish I was being. I find it more interesting to read posts about the same song. That way you get to see how the music, the lyrics spoke to each individual differently or, in this case, in the same way.
Welcome to MOG--looks like you've been busy!
*Nodding*... thanks ... I am very much into the audio/visual which is why I usually like to have a vid with my posts... and yeah the music, words... visua is just pouring out of me... not a stranger to MOG but made a conscious decision to engage rather than stand back and watch/listen....:-)
Well cheers for deciding to take some action. Looks like you've had some stuff built up. It's probably a good release for you, ah? Thanks for the tunes and vids--keep 'em comin!
I like it alot - another good Portland band. man, that city's cup runneth over with good indie bands. thanks for the post
