A new artist
Recently we discovered a new musical artist in the genre similar to Josh Ritter and Ray LaMontagne etc etc.
We were listening to his album this morning and one of the songs just really struck me. Perhaps it's the beautiful spring rainy day...makes me feel all romantic and mushy.
Here's the lyrics...there's no music video because the album is brand new, but I found a recording on Youtube nonetheless.
Great Escape
Thought I could
But I just can't wait
Started planning
For the great escape
Where I'd live and
What I'd leave behind
Made a list of things
I'd have to take
The things that make me feel like hell
For heavens sake
Who I'd love and who would tow the line
And I need you
Everybody needs someone like you
If you need me too
You would be the only thing that I'd take
On my great escape
I float through this town like a cosmonaut
Reminding me of all the things I haven't got
Like time and space, a smile on my face and you
And I need you
Everybody needs someone like you
If you need me too
You would be the only thing that I'd take
Maybe I'll find that my destination
Is somewhere I already know?
And your were as far as I ever had to go
And I need you
Thought I could, but I just can't wait
Everybody needs someone like you
Started planning for me great escape
If you need me to
Who I love and who I'd leave behind
You would be the only thing that I'd take with me
Who I'd leave behind
I need you
Who I'd leave behind
Everybody needs someone like you
Who I'd leave behind
If you need me to
You would be the only thing that I take
On my great escape
