Billet spied boats sped, across the field crows fled
Aloft and wounded left one dead, left one
Billet spied boats sped, across the field crows fled
Aloft and wounded left one dead, left one

Love killer
At the wall in the mirror

Love killer
At the wall in the mirror

On the one side, I can dream my future
Dream my future
On the other, I can feel my nature
Feel my nature

Inside myself I have a moment to choose
To hold or to refuse
To shoot or to let loose
The calling crow, the pulsing throw

Lover killer
At the wall in the mirror

On the one side, I can dream my future
Dream my future
On the other, I can feel my nature
Feel my nature

On the one side, I can dream my future
Dream my future
On the other, I can feel my nature
Feel my nature

I am a lover and a killer

I kept hearing "I am a lion killer." which I thought cool in a metaphorical sense.

She looks a bit like...?  Yes, I noticed that too. 

 
This is my first listen to this one, and I am really digging it.  I like the disco vibe in the background.

Sometimes I get confused between My Brightest Diamond and Lavender Diamond {#Frown}
Has an Annie Lennox sound, same effects on the track and her voice sounds very much similar to Annie! solid 8! {#Hearteyes}
Wow. This is why I love RP. Had never heard of her. Love this song.

Sounds like Bat For Lashes.
I was wondering why I'd never heard my brightest diamond before on rp. She is so talented and special. Besides her music really fits to rp. Yes I am a die-hard fan owning all her albums and trying not to miss her concerts, but seriously she deserves more air time on rp!
kinda pop sound (thought someone switched to Pandora while I was away from my desk) (edit: on 2nd hearing I find it an attention-holder)
Her voice is reminiscent of Joni.
Wow.  I listened to a recent interview of her—Shara Worden. Interesting cross of intellectual and salt-of-the-earth.
What a great tune! I can't get it out of my head! Thanks, RP, for introducing me!

I wouldn't say she's "nothing", whether or not on acquires a taste for her.  She does some interesting stuff; I guess some works are more accessible than others, depending on who one asks.

Interesting - Big Horn Sound with the small voice...with nice words.
