To end your St. Patty’s day on a wonderful note, I give you one of the most poetic, beautiful songs out there:
I will keep the bad things from you / I will keep a straight face honey /
You can keep your last name if you want to / I will give you all my money /
I could take a plane right to you / If I could just stop running /
What if all this was true?
While you won’t be able to hear the ear candy that is Coldplay’s fifth studio album, Mylo Xyloto, in its entirety just yet, you can at least get a little taste.
Listen for yourself:
While many of the tracks off the album have been heard at live shows already, you can pick up Mylo Xyloto and hear the whole thing when it drops on October 24.
In the night / the stormy night / she closed her eyes. In the night / the stormy night / away she’d fly.
You know when you hear a song for the first time and it’s just so painfully good that you can’t stop listening to it? This is one of those songs.
The Civil Wars is a folk duo composed of Joy Williams and John Paul White (who, by the way, is a dead ringer for Johnny Depp and Jack White’s hypothetical child).
This song comes off of the singer/songwriter-duo’s first full-length album which was released on Feb. 1, 2011.
Do yourself a favor and just listen. Like I said: painfully good.
“Take what you want / steal my pride / build me up or cut me down to size / shut me out / but I’ll just scream / I’m only one voice in a million / but you ain’t taking that from me.”
