Songbirds

 
 

 I see how you easily
Slip into the comfort of your mind
Can I take a feather from your wing?
And it means everything, I'll keep it close to me
Mood swings are such pretty things
I've gotta ask why do you cage them inside? Why?
Do you think there’s something up my sleeve?
Or are these just my wings? Such dirty wings

When you sing, there's no misery
You better check your tone, they're only lullabies
Why?
Do you see there's something up my sleeve?
These are just my wings, such pretty things

I'll walk alone, I'll grow only on my own
So far below, we know all there is to know
Are you okay? Are you okay now?

Follow me, we'll all take flight
Shadowing who’s left behind
As we watch the sunrise creeping in
Songbirds with folded arms
Waiting for your deep alarm
Can we hear your true voice growing in?

It's growing in
It's growing in
We hear it growing in

 

Silversun Pickups - Songbirds 

 

As wonderful as ever. This is just another little brilliant jewel from Silversun Pickups, the brightest one from the whole album.
Music of these guys has the extrordinary ability to be deep, delicate, romantic, dreamfull and incredibly melancholic. I am so deeply grateful for having met you back in the days...

 

It Doesn't Matter Why

You hear us come and go
We know
You wonder if we're not alone
We're alone
You think about us all the time
Don't
Because it doesn't matter why we're known
We're just known

We're just... known

You wanna read our minds
We know
Is it better on the other side
No
Will it help you sleep at night
It won't
And it doesn't matter why we're known
We're just known

Should you stay or go
Go
Feeling like you're on your own
Unknown
Will we ever leave you alone
No
And it doesn't matter why we're known
We're just known

And if it all goes right, you'll see in our eyes
We've finally made it out alive
Will you wait for a sign
It's time to have some peace of mind
Wait

You're on your own and in your eyes
You finally see we've all gone blind
Have we all gone blind

It doesn't matter why we're known
We're just known

Silversun Pickups - It Doesn't Matter Why

/ The world, even the smallest parts of it, is filled with things you don't know /

I can not stop enjoying the lightness, elegance and incredible beauty of this song.
This song is a 5 minutes of spiritual journey through the most beautiful places on earth; variety of fleeting stories and feelings, flashing in your mind, flawing throught your vains; infinite serenity and light heartache which evokes memories of an emerging love...
I have always dreamed of feeling what is it like to fly, overtaking the wind, behind the escaping sun, and this song is the way...

Smash

 

Understand that you're holding a bomb in your hand

Take control, hand in hand with yourself from now on

Take this advise, aim to the skies

Aim to the skies above

Show me what you're made of

I'm waiting for the answer

Tell me what you're afraid of

Show me what you're made of

I call out in my sleep

I can't reach you and it's killing me

I call out in my sleep

Sun is gone, days go on like the storm in the sea

And the shore is the loneliest place you can be

Stay dry instead a moment ahead

Aim to the skies above

I call out in my sleep...

You say that you're not the same kid

He one who used to be the weeper

You say it's something deeper

Something that you couldn't tame

Something that would wake the sleeper

You say, you say

I call out in my sleep...

The Rasmus - Smash

/ Your memory feels like home to me. So whenever my mind wanders, it always finds it’s way back to you. /

Hello, summer... Let's start this new era's day with remembering something that means a lot for me.
The Rasmus is one of this precious bands that always live in your heart as an incredibly cherished memories which you remembered so rarely, but which mean a world to you. And when I fall in their fragile romantic and so melancholy embraces, I find myself thinking that I still haven't met a band with more beautiful music, music with the deepest sadness in the heart of it, so elusive, shrouded with mystery and imagery, and filled with unearthly beauty... Or maybe there are so much of my memories dissolved in them? Anyways... Love these guys 'till the end.
