Lyrics


As all of you (since I have like, 2 readers or something) already know, I have a soundcloud! So cool, I already have more than 400 plays and I only just put it online yesterday. That's giving me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Anyway, I thought it'd be nice to blog some lyrics I wrote this semester. They're also on soundcloud, and some lyrics of songs I am going to upload there.



The Weight of Snow

Children playing in the snow
Dancing like fire in July
I envy them
No I don’t
Yet I do
I know where they’re going to

Can you feel the snow falling down on your skin
It is like the weight of the world
Can you feel the weight of the world sinking in
It’s like getting covered up in snow

Oh the weight of snow

Lovers, old like the trees
Walking together on their tired feet
I envy them
No I don’t
Yet I do
They know where I’m going to

Can you feel the snow falling down on your skin
It is like the weight of the world
Can you feel the weight of the world sinking in
It’s like getting covered up in snow

Oh the weight of snow


Little Bird

Little Bird just rest your feathers
While you hide for this bad weather
I can see your wounds
And feel your broken bones
There is just one thing that you should know

Oh little bird
Don’t lose your hope
Remember how it was to fly
And you will go
Oh little bird
Into the sky
Where you will live in freedom again

Little bird just spread your wings out
Feel your body come alive now
The moon may frighten you
And chill your fragile heart
There is just one thing that you should know

Oh little bird
Don’t lose your hope
Remember how it was to fly
And you will go
Oh little bird
Into the sky
Where you will live in freedom

You may have lost your trust
Now you know just the cost
Of losing a battle, but please
Little bird I know you’ll succeed

Oh little bird
Don’t lose your hope
Remember how it was to fly
And you will go
Oh little bird
Into the sky
Where you will live in freedom again



High/Low

I lived with the oldest air
The coldest, but it didn’t want me there
So I lived with the deepest water
but even there I was a fire starter

So I lived in the caves
Where nobody could see my face
Are you happy, are you sad?
Are you blue or are you red?
Are you glowing, what’s that sound?
Are you lost or are you found?

I was so high, nobody could see me
I was so low
I was so high, nobody could see me
I was so low

I was so high, nobody could see me
I was so low
I was so high, nobody could see me
I was so low


Darkness

There’s a hole in  your body
where your heart should be
And in that hole lives a darkness
that sucks all the light out of me

Even the stars
gave up shining
to light up the darkness in you
And even my heart
gave up loving
‘cause there’s nothing to love left in you

There was a time we were lovers
dancing like the moon and sun
and in that time I should’ve noticed
That the falling of the night had begun

It became dark, the sun had left us
No moon had come that day
And from the ground rose a grey mist
That took your heart away

Even the stars
gave up shining
to light up the darkness in you
And even my heart
gave up loving
‘cause there’s nothing to love left in you

Even the stars
gave up shining
to light up the darkness in you
And even my heart
gave up loving
‘cause there’s nothing to love left in you

There’s a hole in  your body
where your heart should be
And in that hole lives a darkness
that sucks all the light out of me




I still have to record Darkness and High/Low. But Darkness is with band so I don't know if I'll upload that one as well.. since I'll just be making a rehearsal recording.. ah well, we'll see. :-) High/Low will appear somewhere in the following days.

I have to go to the dentist tomorrooooowww cryyyyyyyingggggg nooooo
I haaate the dentist. But then again, probably most people hate going to the dentist. Brrrr!

And after that I'll take the train to Leeuwarden for rehearsals with Nightswimmers. After that back to Enschede, where I'll meet Tom :)

Oh btw 
THE WEATHER IS SO NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Okay.
Love,
Fleur

  1. Oeh, ik vind Little Bird het gaafst qua tekst en dan vooral "Little Bird just rest your feathers // While you hide for this bad weather". Het nummer (ik heb het even opgezet) is een beetje jazzy, of hoor ik dat nou helemaal verkeerd? Ik moet die nieuwe liedjes nodig eens vaker luisteren. Komt er ook nog een keer een EP'tje of zo? Dan kan ik dat kopen, want ik ben wel een beetje verliefd op je stem.

    Hoe was het bij de tandarts? Ik heb geen hekel aan de tandarts, omdat de bezoekjes altijd reuze meevallen. Mijn geheim: tanden niet op de badkamer poetsen, maar voor je PC, waar je als je niet oplet tien minuten aan het poetsen bent tijdens het checken van Facebook/Twitter/9gag/enzovoorts.

    PS. You're such a duchess, Dutchess, Dutch ass; je hebt "to light OP the darkness in you" getypt.

  2. Cool! :) Ja het is idd een beetje jazzy denk ik.. niet expres, maar meer omdat dat het beste paste bij het gevoel van het liedje denk ik :)
    Haha jeej! Ja ik weet het niet zo goed.. wil sowieso ook nog steeds heel graag eens een album opnemen, maar denk dat, met wat ik afgelopen tijd heb gehad, ik beter nog maar even kan wachten tot ik klaar ben met school.. of tot dat ik het ineens 100% graag wil.
    Maar goed, ooooit! :)

    De tandarts was prima! Ik heb ook eigenlijk vrijwel nooit wat, nu ook niet, maar vroeger wel heel vaak en daar komt het denk ik vandaan.
    Haha dat is een goede! Vanavond maar eens uitproberen.

    Ohhnneee wat erg! Haha, zal het snel veranderen.
