Song of the Day: Waxahatchee - Fire

Another song with a vibe that takes me away from wherever I am at the moment.  And it captures a certain yearning that I identify with.  Haven't you had those situations where you think, intellectually or logically, that you should be satisfied ... but you're just not?


Waxahatchee - Fire (Official Video)
I take it for granted
If I could love you unconditionally
I could iron out the edges of the darkest sky
For some of us it ain't enough
It ain't enough


Lyrics, from AZLyrics.com:

Waxahatchee Lyrics
"Fire"

That's what I wanted
It's not as if we cry a river, call it rain
West Memphis is on fire in the light of day
Give me something, it ain't enough
It ain't enough
I take it for granted
If I could love you unconditionally
I could iron out the edges of the darkest sky
For some of us it ain't enough
It ain't enough

And I take off driving
Past places been tainted
I put on a good show for you
And when I turn back around
Will you drain me back out
Will you let me believe that I broke through?

Tomorrow could feel like a hundred years later
I'm wiser and slow and attuned
And I am down on my knees
I'm a bird in the trees
I can learn to see with a partial view
I can learn to be easy as I move in close to you

And that's what I wanted
It's not as if we cry a river, call it rain
West Memphis is on fire in the light of day
Give me something, it ain't enough
It ain't enough
I take it for granted
If I could love you unconditionally
I could iron out the edges of the darkest sky
For some of us it ain't enough
It ain't enough

Song of the Day: Soccer Mommy - circle the drain

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted here.  Hey, life gets in the way.

Like many of the songs I love, this song captures a vibe.  Positive, negative, does it matter?   :)

Soccer Mommy - circle the drain (Official Music Video)



Lyrics, from AZLyrics.com:

Soccer Mommy Lyrics
"Circle The Drain"

I wanna be calm like the soft
Summer rain on your back
Like the fall of your shoulders
But everything just brings me back down
To the cold hard ground
And it keeps getting colder

It's a feeling that boils in my brain
I would dial back the flame
But I'm not sure I'm able
I'm wobbling out on the wire
And the lights could go out
With the break of a cable

Things feel that low sometimes
Even when everything is fine

Hey I've been falling apart these days
Split open watching my heart go round and around
Round and around
Circle the drain
I'm going down

(Round and around and around and around)
(Round and around and around and around)

I'm trying to seem strong for my love
For my family and friends
But I'm so tired of faking
'Cause I'm chained to my bed when they're gone
Watching TV alone
Until my body starts aching

And I think there's a mold in my brain
Spreading down all the way
Through my heart and my body
'Cause I cling to the dark of my room
And the days thin me out
Or just burn me straight through

Things feel that low sometimes
Even when everything is fine

Hey I've been falling apart these days
Split open watching my heart go round and around
Round and around
Circle the drain
I'm going down

(Round and around and around and around)
(Round and around and around and around)

Things feel that low sometimes
Even when everything is fine

Hey I've been falling apart these days
Split open watching my heart go round and around
Round and around
Circle the drain
I'm going down

(Round and around and around and around)
(Round and around and around and around)

Round and around
Round and around
Circle the drain
I'm going down
