Sky, I loved Sixpence None the Richer, but it was a bit fey.
Fits I suppose :)
UT - I really felt Dido's songs, but I could never fit them to me.
Male: female difference I suppose.
I submit two:
When You Come - Crowded House.
I just love the imagery. It is a love song. Just not a soppy one.
YouTube'd because it was an album track. Forgive them, it was filmed in the 80s.
Quote:
When you come across the sea
Me like a beacon, guiding you to safety
The sooner the better now
And when you come
The hills will breathe like a baby
Pulled up, heaving from the bottom of the ocean
The sooner the better now
And when you come to cover me
With your kisses
Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions
And that is why
I stumble to my knees
And why, underneath the Heavens
With the stars burning and exploding
I know why I could never let you down
When you come
When you come like an iceberg float in darkness
Smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea
I should know you better now
And when you come, your majesty to entrap me
Prince of light receding
The sooner the better now
And when you come to cover me
With your kisses hard like armour
The sooner the better now
I'll know you by the thunderclap
Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions, hey
And that is why
I stumble to my knees
And why underneath the Heavens
With the stars burning and exploding
I know why I could never let you down
She came out of the water
Into my horizon
Like a cumulo nimbus
Coming in from the distance
Burning and exploding
Burning and exploding
Like a slow volcano
When you come
Cover the ground with ashes, with ashes
Baby, when you come
Nothing changes, now
When you come
Burning and exploding
When you come
When you come

Wonderdrug - Jann Arden.
The clip starts with someone other than her singing. The real song kicks in about 30 seconds.
Quote:
Be my lover, be my baby, be my wonderdrug
Be my flower, weeping silver tears on a rusted heart
Don't say a word, just let me kiss it all away
No more sorrow, no more sadness no more
Be my lover, baby you just got to want me
I don't know, can't think, not even breathing
Be my blood stained suit of armour, be my everything
Don't say you love me 'cause I don't care
I love you more than you will ever know
No more worry, no more trouble, no more sadness
And no more sorrow
Oh my heart shines when you kiss my mouth
What a sweet surprise
And I stop cold when you're in the room
And you look my way
Say my name, say my name
Be my lover. Be my, be my baby
Be my wonderdrug my wonderdrug
my wonderdrug
Be my, be my baby
Be my lover
Be my wonderdrug

Both sets of lyrics quoted because it's a lot about the lyrics to me. |
