[Music from the Baul] Such Great Heights

Yes Paolo. I should be renaming my blog Musings and Lyrics. Hehe! I still need to make an entry about the fun and busy weekend. I ended up chatting and surfing last night. And sleeping past my bed time! Dengit. Whilst chatting with my all-American chat-pal Keyce, she told me about this nice song, "Such Great Heights" by the Postal Service. Previewed it in You Tube and next thing I knew, I was downloading five songs by the band. The video's pretty cool! They kinda remind me of Bloc Party. Plus Daft Punk.

Such Great Heights
By The Postal Service

I am thinking it's a sign
that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images
and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate
that God himself did make
us into corresponding shapes
like puzzle pieces from the clay

true, it may seem like a stretch
but its thoughts like this that catch
my troubled head when you're away
when I am missing you to death
when you are out there on the road
for several weeks of shows
and when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great heights,
"come down now", they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away,
"come down now", but we'll stay...

I tried my best to leave
this all on your machine
but the persistent beat it sounded thin
upon listening
and that frankly will not fly
you will hear the shrillest highs
and lowest lows with the windows down
when this is guiding you home

They will see us waving from such great heights,
"come down now", they'll say
but everything looks perfect from far away
"come down now", but we'll stay...
