lyrics

Loud voices break the sanctuary that is our home
We wake up like we haven’t slept at all
I wish I could comfort you with my mere presence
It’s hard to hold each other from such emotional distance

You cannot go because I love you
You cannot go, I’m thinking of you all the time

I could never forget the face you made when you and I met
You bent yourself toward the ground with a look of success at the lost and found
The weather turned northwest, too many things to get off our chests
Still in spite of the storm, I dream it’s you when I open the door

You cannot go because I love you
You cannot go, I’m thinking of you all the time

I made this look like anyone else’s song
But it was only yours

No words or smiles can concea the miles of space between you and me
We might press our bodies near but we cannot move this mountainscape
So, I trust nothing now except that maybe the hands will change
I just missed my plane, I was staring into space

You cannot go because I love you
You cannot go, I’m thinking of you all the time

The Other Half of Everything
by Martin John Henry

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011
