What Nobody Knows
When a friend first showed me this, I was a little too mesmerized by the video to focus on the song, but now that I have it on repeat on iTunes, the lyrics have slipped slyly into my mind, and I can't help but love the concept.
Click to view"sun been down for days
a winter melody she plays
the thunder makes her contemplate
she hears a sound out by the gate
perhaps a letter with a dove
perhaps a stranger she could love"
These are my favorite lines--I think the foggy, bright, dreamy, desperate story it tells is somehow really charming. Partly because that's exactly where I'm at. In any winter like the one outside my window, you wait, continue to play out the routines of everyday life, waiting for the slightest unusual event to pique your interest/inspiration.
I've been in a weird mood lately, if it doesn't show enough through this post.
