Please don't be a dirty pirate! I post these songs to introduce people to bands / music that I really like. If you enjoy the songs, please support the bands and buy their albums or MP3s (you can now get just about anything on iTunes for $0.99.)

/ Nov 2, 2007 @ 11:02am This is one of several really great songs off of the new Jimmy Eat World album, Chase This Light. Over the past 8 years, this band has produced three of my favorite CDs: Clarity (1999), Jimmy Eat World (2001), and Futures (2004). I’m always a little nervous when a new CD is released, but they have never disappointed me yet. This is a fantastic album!
Could have been a night like any other
One of us has to drive, one of us gets to think
I’ll force a laugh to break the silence
It’s going to get harder still
Before it gets easy
You can’t keep safe what wants to break
I’m alone in this as I’ve always been:
Right behind what’s happening
She’s lost in this, she’s like she’ll always be:
A little far for me to reach
I was just a boy like every other
Thought I was something fierce
Thought I was ten times smarter
Love would be something that I’d just know
How are you going to know the feeling until you’ve lost it?
I’ve been losing plenty since
I’m alone in this as I’ve always been:
Right behind what’s happening
She’s lost in this, she’s like she’ll always be:
A little far for me to reach
Maybe something else I’m missing
Something good and your the reason
It’s a dream but there’s a real world waiting
I’m alone in this as I’ve always been:
Right behind what’s happening
She’s lost in this, she’s like she’ll always be:
A little far for me to reach

/ Nov 29, 2007 @ 11:08pm This song is beautiful. I haven’t heard many Iron and Wine songs, but the first samples Anthony downloaded ("Fever Dream" and "16, Maybe Less") are both fantastic. I had a tough time deciding which of the two to share! We will definitely get the album, Our Endless Numbered Days, soon. Check them out!
Lyrics:
Some days her shape in the doorway
Will speak to me
A bird’s wing on the window
Sometimes I’ll hear when she’s sleeping
Her fever dream
A language on her face
I want your flowers like babies want God’s love
Or maybe as sure as tomorrow will come
Some days, like rain on the doorstep
She’ll cover me
With grace in all she offers
Sometimes I’d like just to ask her
What honest words
She can’t afford to say, like
I want your flowers like babies want God’s love
Or maybe as sure as tomorrow will come
