![]() Palindrome Hunches (2012) [ larger cover art ] |
Tell me, is a full moon rising
Big and brown in the horizon
Are you feeling strange?
Butterfly falling.
Thought that I would be so easy
Pay our debts and now we're leaving
Closing your eyes, your momma's eyes...
Chorus:
You wouldn't tear love above for us
Standing by the door in your entrance
You're just a little girl, hiding in the dark
Tell me how does it feel?
Lights go off!
You always gonna go on more
And now you gotta none at all
..always looking for something
What you're looking for?
What you're looking for?
Tell me I don't wanna go crazy
But do we just put it all on hope
Tell me, is a full moon rising
Big and brown in the horizon
Are you feeling strange?
Butterfly falling.
Looking for love...
Chorus:
You wouldn't tear love above for us
Standing by the door in your entrance
You're just a little girl, hiding in the dark
Tell me how does it feel?
Lights go off!
You always gonna go on more
And now you gotta none at all
Tell me, is a full moon rising
Big and brown in the horizon
Are you feeling strange?
Butterfly falling.
I don't know much about nothing
But I know what I believe in
If you got a plan, I got a reason!
If you got a plan, I got a reason!
Chorus:
You wouldn't tear love above for us
Standing by the door in your entrance
You're just a little girl, hiding in the dark
Tell me how does it feel?
Lights go off!
Big and brown in the horizon
Are you feeling strange?
Butterfly falling.
Thought that I would be so easy
Pay our debts and now we're leaving
Closing your eyes, your momma's eyes...
Chorus:
You wouldn't tear love above for us
Standing by the door in your entrance
You're just a little girl, hiding in the dark
Tell me how does it feel?
Lights go off!
You always gonna go on more
And now you gotta none at all
..always looking for something
What you're looking for?
What you're looking for?
Tell me I don't wanna go crazy
But do we just put it all on hope
Tell me, is a full moon rising
Big and brown in the horizon
Are you feeling strange?
Butterfly falling.
Looking for love...
Chorus:
You wouldn't tear love above for us
Standing by the door in your entrance
You're just a little girl, hiding in the dark

I got some feedback that my comments are hard to understand at times. I agree. This one had to do with some comments made on the air by Bill right after the Mayan 2012 thing last December, relating to the meaning of this song. I had just got back from a cruise to that area... |

| zenhead (Maine) | Posted: Apr 29, 2013 - 07:12 Never heard of this guy, but what a pretty voice and a pretty song. Nice treat! |
| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Apr 25, 2013 - 11:07 Lovely and evocative, but wistful, almost melancholy. Not music for, say, the lovelorn on a rainy, gloomy day. |
| Giselle62 (many bear, big rock, estuary California) | Posted: Apr 25, 2013 - 11:06 some pretty stuff on his Mojave3 albums. |

| valeriogonzalez (Quito, Ecuador) | Posted: Dec 18, 2012 - 12:47 Same riff than Hit the Road, Jack. But this is older. |

Music that proves how tough and hard we are. None of this 'wussy' stuff because you know, that's a weakness, being wussy. |

| Catecaneverall (Germany, Leipzig) | Posted: Oct 22, 2012 - 01:16 want to be in bed right now, listening to exactly this song over and over and over... |

| joelbb | Posted: Sep 21, 2012 - 22:17 Is this the Tedium Hour? That's 4 soporifics in a row, including the only bad song by Pink Floyd I've ever heard. |

| dew34 (Wisconsin-quite woodsy) | Posted: Jul 25, 2012 - 13:57 I like this very much and a good fit after the Lumineers ![]() |

It's late at night for these ears and sadly this song is the wrong side of the line when I'm still not ready for the Land of Nod. This is the sort of music that gets played on MOR stations in the early hours of the morning. Aural Valium. Here's hoping for, say, She Sells Sanctuary as a wake-up antidote to this snoozefest. My eyes are getting heavy and the arms of Morpheus are trying to claim me... That can be a good thing. Sometimes a very good thing. |

| coloradojohn (A Mile High and then some, Cherry Creek, Denver) | Posted: Jul 09, 2012 - 11:22 Good Lord, this is good, and nicely reminiscent of yet different than Sleeping On Roads, which got me into him — all thanks to RP, I must say! |
