Inside every man is a heart of sand, you can see it in his face
Jag är lite på sådant där skithumör ikväll. När allt känns så trist och meningslöst. Och man letar och letar efter ngt som ska få en att känna att det finns en mening med det hela. Och just i afton så insåg jag att Laura Marling är så fin, hennes texter, hennes röst, hennes musik skänker den där önskade meningen och skönheten till mitt liv. Jag hittade inte min absoluta favoritlåt på Youtube, men här kommer en annan som får tiden att stanna, och sen nedan texten till en av de bästa låtarna någonsin, som ni måste höra: The captain and the hourglass. Jag kan inte förlåta mig själv för att jag inte såg till att gå på hennes konsert i torsdags :( årets miss. Jag har missat The Editors och Tiga, vilket också svider lite, men att jag missade Laura Marling...
The captain and the hourglass
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the car.
You sat alone under billowing sky
If I feel God judging me,
Well I fell into the water, now I'm free.
My friends they don't really get me,
think I'm the only one
Well i sold my soul to Jesus and since then ive had no fun
Behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace
Inside every man is a heart of sand you can see it in his face.
He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
The wind and I, we speak the same, but he don't hear so well.
You're gonna have to curse him,
Well you're gonna have to yell.
The sky and I, we've had our fights and I'm coming round to rain,
If the rain come round and it don't come out, then I'll never have to speak again,
I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
Can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
The captains got his boots on and he's heading out the door,
Leaving his lady alone thinkin' "He don't love me no more."
He's done with all this bullshit,
He's going back to war,
If Heaven is as Heaven does,
then this is Hell for sure...
And he'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
He'll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the car.
You sat alone under billowing sky
If I feel God judging me,
Well I fell into the water, now I'm free...
