Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

hraeddur:

Seen it though a windscreen
Seen it through the clouds
Seen it in a pantry
Seen it in your heart.

              — Glass Arm Shattering, Porcupine Tree

Uhmmm… Hi. It seems that whomever posted the lyrics you see here don’t know what the real ones are.

The actual lyrics are as follows:


Feeling all your touching
Feeling all your blood
Feeling all your touching
Feeling all your love

Seen it though a windscreen
Seen through the glass
Seen it in a bad dream
Seen it in your heart

(See porcupinetree.com)

You’re welcome. ;-)

I have Neko Case songs echoing in my head at the moment. This one is my favorite of hers, and one of my favorite songs to sing. :-)

~~~

Dirty Knife by Neko Case

So suddenly the madness came
With it’s whiskered, wolven, ether pangs
He locked the door, And he shut the blinds
He laid down on the floor and he slept like iron
While the dirty knife bore deep, Into his spine

The blood runs crazy
The blood runs crazy

Cascading letters pool on the stairs
The grass is high, the cats are wild
You can’t even touch the tip of their tails
And the blood runs crazy with giant strides

He sang nursery rhymes to paralyze
The wolves that Eddy out the corner of his eyes
But they squared him frozen where he stood
In the glow of the furniture piled high for firewood
And the blood runs crazy with giant strides

And the woodsman failed to breech those fangs in time
So they dragged him through the underbrush
Wearing three winter coats and a dirty knife…

(Ukrainian Lyric)

krichit shaleno, strekoche zubami  {He shouts very loudly, grinding his teeth}
La la la la, la la la la
krichit shaleno, strekoche zubami
La la la la, la la la la

My Current Song Obsession: “Night Wind Sent” by Blondie

Your music, by the night wind sent, awakes my quiet instrument
In the silence of your steps, I can see into the depths
Messenger of sympathies, my heart beats loud in ecstasy

When your shadow falls on me, a silhouette; reality
And I chase every night after you
And I chase after you

Of all your loaded mysteries, the color of your sympathies,
my words cannot express your awful loveliness
So come with me through smoke and mirrors
We’ll bring our differences nearer
We’ll float upon an inland sea
Embody visions of a dream
And I chase every night after you…

I got a chill, and the night wind sent me a chill
And the night wind sent me a chill…

You wander through my sleeping mind, reading thoughts I’ve left behind.
I always know when you’ve been there.
Tangles of perfume fill my hair.

Your music, by the night wind sent, awakes my quiet instrument.
In the silence of your steps, I can see into the depths…

This is definitely one of the loveliest songs to come out of 1999. Please take a listen. :-)

David Gilmour joining Roger Waters on The Wall to perform ‘Comfortably Numb’ at London’s O2, May, 2011.

In honor of his 66th birthday, I just had to post video of David Gilmour playing one of the greatest guitar solos of all time. :-)

Happy Birthday, Mr. Gilmour!

The a capella cover you are about to hear is actually a cover version of sorts as I step it down in key and take some liberties with the melody. This song has become a very important song to me and it felt right to do it as my first audio post of 2012. (For the full write up on it, read the blog post HERE.)

I give to you my a capella version of “Eagle” by ABBA. :-)

Kate Bush - Experiment IV

Do you see who I see? ;-)

Bjork— Hyperballad live

Oh, I love this performance!!

Sorry for the looooong absence, folks. I just haven’t had the time for Tumblr as of late. :-/ Forgive me?

I return for a bit with my 400th post, which is also the first song I listened to this year. (It’s my theme for 2011.) This is the year, people! I’m going to fly like an eagle…

“Blue Orchid” by The White Stripes 

This song is so goddamn addicting

It is! It’s one of my most favorites from The White Stripes. I rock out every time. X-D

I won’t shiver in the cold
I won’t let the shadows take their toll
I won’t cover my head in the dark
And I won’t forget you when we part

Collapse the Light Into Earth

I won’t heal given time
I won’t try to change your mind
I won’t feel better in the cold light of day
But I wouldn’t stop you if you wanted to stay

Collapse the Light Into Earth

“Collapse The Light Into Earth” - Porcupine Tree

This song is truly beautiful. All I see and feel when I listen… It moves me to tears. <3

Train set and match spied under the blind
Shiny and contoured the railway winds
And I’ve heard the sound from my cousin’s bed
The hiss of the train at the railway head

Always the summers are slipping away

A 60 ton angel falls to the earth
A pile of old metal, a radiant blur
Scars in the country, the summer and her

Always the summers are slipping away
Find me a way for making it stay

When I hear the engine pass, I’m kissing you wide
The hissing subsides, I’m in luck
When the evening reaches here, You’re tying me up
I’m dying of love. It’s OK

“Trains” - Porcupine Tree <3
