This is a people shooting hat...

I’ve become rather obsessed with Bonnie Prince Billy A.K.A Will Oldham , he is an amazing lyricist, I love how stripped and bare most of his songs are, his voice is very buckley-esque, and there’s also a hint of Bon Iver only without the harmonies.

This song is actually a cover of another artist’s song, but I absolutely adore it.

First the tide rushes in 
Plants a kiss on the shore 
Then goes out to sea 
And the sea is very still once more 

So I rush to your side 
Like the oncoming tide 
With one burning thought: 
Will your arms open wide? 

At last we’re face to face 
And as we kiss through an embrace 
I can tell, I can feel you are loved 
You are really, really mine 
In the rain, in the dark, in the sun 

Like the tide at its ebb 
I’m at peace in the web 
Of your heart’s arms 
Of your arms

Broken Records - Nearly Home

And oh my dear
I have a good idea
Let’s lay these bones to rest
Build it all over start again
Coz I know 
That if you dare to hope
That if you dare to try 
To rebuild the pieces of your life
Then you’ll find
The things you held so dear
The things you held so close
Were never ever really yours
And what’s left
That vacuous empty shell
Is ready to be refilled 
With all the love you should have had

And rip it up
Rip it all apart
This place that our parents built
We’ll let all burn down to the ground 
Coz I’m tired of these suited lies
Of policies made to break
Words that you’ll never ever shake

We are nearly home
And we’re nearly home
And we’re nearly home
And we’re nearly home
And we’re nearly home

We’re nearly home
And we’re nearly home
And we’re nearly home
And we’re nearly home
And we’re nearly home

And oh my dear 
I had a good idea
Let’s lay these bones to rest
Build it all over start again
