It was a morning
Just a day like any other
With only one phone ring
How your whole life can pivot
Now so locked up
In hospitals
Staring from the depth of your bed
What did you say?
Right up to the end
Or from the razor's edge
Do you really have to go?
I built my life around you
I don't really want to know
How to live my life without you
I can never take away
Decisions that you made
One to leave us with the feeling
The burden on the living
Gone in a moment
I was lost there for a minute
Rush of emotion
Now the whole room is spinning
And I see
You in front of me
It couldn't be
Take my hand
We'll get well again
What did you say?
Oh please take me
Does it help to believe?
Does it help to believe?
Does it help you?
Can you help me too?
Do you really have to go?
I built my life around you
I don't really want to know
How to live my life without you
I can never take away
Decisions that you made
One to leave us with the feeling
The burden on the living

Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems. Niek || Add To Wantlist

This is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy the Under the Bridge releases led me down this road. It's unexpectedly spacious and just makes me happy! It's very hard to pick a favorite and I will not be skipping tracks as I play through this repeatedly. zq9mare1
