This song does things to me........

To Build a Home

The Cinematic Orchestra

There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home

'Cause, I built a home
For you
For me

Until it disappeared
From me
From you

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust

Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it's knees

By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me

And, I built a home
For you
For me

Until it disappeared
From me
From you

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust

You're Killing Me Smalls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How am I supposed to work when I can't see through my tears?????    

Where has this dude/group been all my life?? 

I am LOVING his music and lyrics!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Below is another one to his baby girl...   WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Intense right?  So beautiful.....  

Light

May these words be the first to find your ears
The world is brighter than the sun now that you're here
Though your eyes will need some time to adjust
To the overwhelming light surrounding us

I'll give you everything I have
I'll teach you everything I know
I promise I'll do better
I will always hold you close
But I will learn to let you go
I promise I'll do better
I will soften every edge
I'll hold the world to its best
And I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I will defend your every breath
And I'll do better

Cause you are loved
You are loved more than you know
I hereby pledge all of my days
To prove it so
Though your heart is far too young to realize
The unimaginable light you hold inside

I'll give you everything I have
I'll teach you everything I know
I promise I'll do better
I will always hold you close
But I will learn to let you go
I promise I'll do better
I will rearrange the stars
Pull 'em down to where you are
I promise I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I'll defend your every breath
I promise I'll do better
I will soften ever edge
Hold the world to its best
I promise I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I'll defend your every breath
I'll do better

Unfriggenbelievable Lyrics...

I just found this song online on a blog I follow.. 

 I wonder what this man's daughter will feel when she hears these lyrics written about her...     makes my heart want to explode!

"Life"

It began

With a whisper in my ear:

"I think it's time."

Suddenly all we held dear was on the line.

As your heart measured in mountains fell and climbed.

You're okay, you're okay, you're okay, you're okay.

Amen.

We were changed in an instant.

We became so much more.

Our definition of perfect was written when she was born.

She drew her first breath out of what love meant.

In my heart, reconciled all the darkness and light inside my chest.

As her hands held tight.

And her eyes met mine, I saw the future unfold in sliver and gold.

And I'm already proud.

Beautiful like your mother,

You are grace, you are light.

The better version of our past.

From the start of life.

We will learn from each other.

As you grow up, we will too.

And our reflections of one another.

We will start something new.

We were changed in an instant.

We became so much more.

Our definition of perfect was written when you were born.

There is so much to tell you.

There is so much to see.

We will show you the oceans, and everything in between.

What a privilege to love you,

To teach you all that we know.

To watch you build a collection of dreams that you can call your own.

You are beautiful like your mother.

You are grace, you are light. Oh.

A better version of our past.

From the start of life.

We were changed in an instant,

When we became so much more. Oh.

Our definition of perfect was written when you were born.

I am ALL ABOUT Lord Huron right now!!!

I love it when a good song tells a fabulous story and it's well written like the one below!

Quirky, catchy, folksy... This song puts me in a good mood! Makes me want to go on an adventure!!

Ends of the Earth

By: Lord Huron

Oh, there's a river that winds on forever

I'm gonna see where it leads

Oh, there's a mountain that no man has mounted
I'm gonna stand on the peak

Out there's a land that time don't command
Wanna be the first to arrive
No time for ponderin' why I'm a-wanderin'
Nowhere the buses lay

To the ends of the earth would you follow me?
There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
To the ends of the earth would you follow me?
If you won't I must say my goodbyes to thee

Oh, there's an island where all things are silent
I'm gonna whistle a tune
Oh, there's a desert that size can't be measured
I'm gonna count all the dunes

Out there's a world that calls for me, girl
Headin' out into the unknown
Wayfarin' strangers and all kinds of danger
Please don't say I'm going alone

To the ends of the earth would you follow me?
There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
To the ends of the earth would you follow me?
If you won't I must say my goodbyes to thee

I was a-ready to die for you, baby
Doesn't mean I'm ready to stay
What good is livin' a life you've been given
If all you do is stand in one place

I'm on a river that winds on forever
Follow 'til I get where I'm goin'
Maybe I'm headin' to die but I'm still gonna try
I guess I'm goin' alone

One of the Best Ever!

Wicked Game

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you

It's strange what desire will make foolish people do

I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you

I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No I don't want to fall in love

(this girl is only gonna break your heart)

No I don't want to fall in love

(this girl is only gonna break your heart)

With you

With you

(this girl is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way

What a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you

What a wicked thing to say you never felt this way

What a wicked thing to do to make me dream of you

And I don't want to fall in love

(this girl is only gonna break your heart)

No I don't want to fall in love

(this girl is only gonna break your heart)

With you

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you

It's strange what desire will make foolish people do

I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you

I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No I don't want to fall in love

(this girl is only gonna break your heart)

No I don't want to fall in love

(this girl is only gonna break your heart)

With you

(this girl is only gonna break your heart)

With you

(this girl is only gonna break your heart)

No I

(this girl is only gonna break your heart)

(This girl is only gonna break your heart)

Nobody loves no one
