![]() Fever Ray (2009) [ larger cover art ] |
An apple and a berry plant
Comes with a house
On the grass
Who is that
To come by my house
Stands outside my window
Sucking on the berries and
Eats us out of house and home
Keeping us awake
Keeping us awake
Can I come over, I need to rest
Lay down for a while
Disconnect
The night was so long
The day even longer
Lay down for a while
Recollect
Five AM
Out again
Triangle walks
Magpies, I throw sticks at them
They laugh behind my back
Getting a feeling
Maybe I will dream again
Having that feeling
When there's no one awake
No no one awake
Can I come over, I need to rest
Lay down for a while
Disconnect
The night was so long
The day even longer
Lay down for a while
Recollect

'Beat' is often morphed into rhythm for many people, observed among the folk I know. For me the pulse is the (heart)beat and the rhythm covers the feel, the instrumentation, the layering and the overall effect, long before I try to get the lyrics, if there are any. Enjoy. |

| The_Enemy (...is within) | Posted: Feb 27, 2012 - 08:43 Sounds like Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan" when you play the 33 1/3 at 45. Seriously. |

I could list dozens of successful singers with odd and interesting voices. I happen to think her voice is odd and different enough to be unique. Sure, she may not be the best singer out there, but I'd bet she's better than you. Certainly better than I. |
| sirdroseph (Yes) | Posted: Jul 21, 2011 - 04:28 I was slow on board with this group, but they are growing on me. This is the song that did it. |
