Todays song of the day is by a band you may or may not have heard of. I have been listening to them a few years. They were on the SXSW cicruit a few years back. I have loved the music ever since. With the wonderful mesh of all the instruments topped of by the wonderful singing voice(s). This is one of their most famous songs called "Lost Coastlines". The video is definitly unique and I hope you enjoy.
Packed and all eyes turned in, no one to see on the quay. No one waving for me just the shoreline receding. Ticket in my hand and thinking wish I didn't hand it in. Cause who said sailing is fine? leaving behind all the faces that I might replace if I tried on that long ride, looking deep inside but I don`t want to look so deep inside yet.
Sit down, sit down on the prow to wave bye, there might not be another stop, farther on the line. Look out, look out at each town that glides by, and there's another crowd, to drown in crying eyes. And see how that light you love now just won`t shine, there might just be another star, that`s high and far in some other sky.
We sing, is that marionette real enough yet to step off of that set and decide what her hands might be doing. Ruining the play and in the ensuing melee escape. We packed up all of our bags the ship's deck now sags from the weight of our tracks as we pace beneath flags black and battered rattling our swords in service of some feted, foreign lord.
And Jonathan says we sail out on order of him but we find that the maps he sent to us don't mention lost coastlines. Where nothing we've actually seen has been mapped or outlined and we don't recognize the names upon these signs.
And every night finds us rocking and rolling on waves wild and wide, well we have lost our way, nobody`s gonna say it outright. Just go la la la la la la la la la...

Song of the Day 38!!!
Ok, so this is the first song of the day of the New Year. Yay! This song of day is from a previous offender. Minus The Bear is one of my favorite bands. The harmonies of the guitars, the awesome bass line, the unbelievable drums and the eccentric keyboards and electronic sounds. They are all around a great band. This song is called "Knights" from their latest album "Planet of Ice". THe video is wonderfully done. I really hope you enjoy.
I owe you, don't I?
A little light today
But tomorrow, oh tomorrow
I owe you, don't I?
I know it ain't the money girl
There never was money
This usury so typical
A piece of you for a piece of me
It's hard coded
A piece of you for a piece of me
And it's alright
Let's call it good
A little more
Let's make this even
This usury so typical
A piece of you for a piece of me
It's hard coded
A piece of you for a piece of me
Is it really a sing
If we both come out even?
Come out even
I owe you, don't I?
A little light today
But tomorrow, oh tomorrow
I owe you, don't I?
I know it ain't the money girl
There never was money
This usury so typical
A piece of you for a piece of me
It's hard coded
A piece of you for a piece of me
And it's alright
Let's call it good
A little more
Let's make this even
This usury so typical
A piece of you for a piece of me
It's hard coded
A piece of you for a piece of me
Is it really a sing
If we both come out even?
Come out even
