Such seriously beautiful lyrics. Stolen from Skins the most awful yet compelling show on TV. He has a beautifully whining voice, it's alluringly gorgeous. The emotions shown through his facial expressions are echoed and amplified by his voice.
This song makes me think of growing up and childhood and loss of childhood. Not only literally but in the world we live in we do "see so much more" than we should. The world is shrinking and we must conform to the idea their is no mystery left in the world. As there is little scientific and physical mystery I turn to music and English to find my mysteries, the mysteries of human emotion. Not psychology but what people actually express, their inner most thoughts and feelings. Those are the mysteries I am now chasing.
The fact this is live makes it even more incredible.
Lyrics:
Oh Lord, a distant beam of light
The jab of neon floods my weary eyes
It illuminates my soul reasons why
I'm heading your way with the traffic on my side
Remember how it was before
Just a minute away, I'll be knocking on your front door
Don't underestimate this precious time
Every second is treated as though there is no time
Your eyes are wider than before
So little has changed
But your eyes now see much more
Hush, now sway and fall asleep
Gonna drive you away from the trampling of bustling feet
You can lose your troubled thoughts for tonight at least
You can wake in the morning, feeling that you can breathe
Little darling, you're mine for tonight
Your mellow and tender soul is hard to find
From you I draw no doubts deep inside
I surrender myself to your presence and peace of mind
Your eyes are wider than before
So little has changed but your eyes now see much more
So much more, so, so much more
So much more, so much more
