Broken Bells is the tasty new project from James Mercer (Lead singer and guitarist for The Shins) and Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse - of Gnarls Barkley and Dangerdoom). I am SO excited to get the CD on March 9th. You can pre-order it on their websiteor on iTunes. But for now, the single, The High Road, is available to download.
I heard aboutMads Langeryesterday from a good friend of mine. He likes him and now, so do I. Hopefully you will too!
I really like the acoustic version of this song... more than the real (produced) one. I really just like the lyrics a lot. Check out the rest of his songs, too. I must say some of his albumis a little too produced for my tastes but he's talented.
Lyrics
Hello life - shake my hand and break my heart Open up my eyes and let me see the beauty of the dark Hello death - I have to put you on hold Cause I’m not ready for the presence of the cold It's too late to sleep Too late to wake up I'm caught between - daylight and a dream Now I lay me down in a bed of lies Knowing any day I'll be betrayed - by the kiss of my killer Goodbye hope - I guess we're out of luck It’s time we face the facts and finally give up Goodbye love I really hate to end so sad It’s funny how I believed in things we never had It's too late to sleep Too late to wake up I'm caught between - daylight and a dream Now I lay me down in a bed of lies Knowing any day I'll be betrayed - by the kiss of my killer It's too late to sleep Too late to wake up I'm caught between - daylight and a dream Now I lay me down in a bed of lies Knowing any day I'll be betrayed - by the kiss of my killer
Hello friends who care about good songs. I just directed a musical. That is why I have been M.I.A. BUT, I'm back!
So William Fitzsimmons, a gift to the world, covered Kanye West's Heartless. It's beautiful.
Check out this song:
Read about it on Billboard. Is it weird that I kind of have a crush on him after reading that article? maybe...
Lyrics In the night I hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so cold?
As the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talkin' to me though
You need to watch the way you talkin' to me though
I mean after all the things that we've been through
I mean after all the things we got into
Hey yo, I know of some things that you ain't told me
Hey yo, I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back and you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend, well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely
In the night I hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?
How could be so Dr. Evil?
You're bringin' out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we wasn't goin' speak so
Why we up 3 a.m. on the phone?
Why does she be so mad at me for?
Homie, I don't know, she's hot and cold
I won't stop, won't mess my groove up
'Cause I already know how this thing go
You run and tell your friends that you're leavin' me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see
You'll never find nobody better than me
In the night I hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?
Talkin', talkin', talkin' talk
Baby let's just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got somethin' new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can't make it right
I'm gon' take off tonight
Into the night
In the night I hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so heartless?
