Awesome songs

So I know I'm supposed to be rejoicing, and I am, and the tenor of these songs may not seem to match that mood. But I think that any song that really stirs your emotions is worthy of celebration.

So with that disclaimer, here are a couple of songs that I found in between reading about perpetuities that I feel are really fantastic. Clare Maguire - I love her voice. I love these lyrics, too.

Please DO listen to these songs! I want to know what you think.

1) Hope There's Someone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuTfEO6X_-c&feature=related

My favorite lyrics in this one are also my favorite vocal section, when she says

"so here's hoping I will not drown, or paralyze in light
and godsend I don't want to go to the seals' watershed"

So creepy and sad at the same time. According to one wordreference.com poster the seals' watershed is "the entrance to the graceyard in the sea" - I think it is a typo and should be graveyard.

2) This is Not the End: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUGhl1dYpGs&feature=related

My favorite lyrics in this one are:

"From today I wish you peace; I hope that life will pass you by as softly as the falling leaves"
