Album Version

LYRICS

So guess I got old

I was like trash on the sidewalk

I guess I knew why

Often it's hard to just sweet talk

I was old news to you then

Old news, old news to you then

You, you were like glue

Holding each of us together

I slept through July

While you made lines in the heather

I was old news to you then

Old news, old news to you then

Fell for the ruse with you then

Old news, old news to you then

And I still see you when I try to sleep

I see the garden, the tower, the street

Call out to nobody, call out to me

Chip on the shoulder, the dime in the teeth

Now I can see how

We were like dust on the window

Not much, not a lot

Everything's stolen or borrowed

I was old news to you then

Old news, old news to you then

TIFT MERRITT: STRAY PAPER.

TIFT MERRITT is one of my favourite singers-songwriters. I think that "Tambourine" (2004) must be in the discography of all your homes. And we have chosen STRAY PAPER, the song that opens the second album of Merritt. We have selected two videos. The First is in acoustic. Althought the most important is her eyes and her incredible voice. Hope you like.

LYRICS

I got a postcard with an old address,

A picture of Houston in a creased-up mess,

Just to remind me that it all went wrong,

Just to beat me up, just to turn me on.

Stray paper, stray paper, stray paper,

Burning in my hands.

Cigarettes in the glove box with the classified ads,

Ashes and silver worn in to your hands,

"I got to see you" on a bar napkin,

Gas station quarters, I got to see you again.

Stray paper, stray paper, stray paper,

Burning in my hands.

Somewhere there's a letter that I never sent,

It used to read pretty, now it's empty as

That night in the headlights with the blankets pressed.

Was it something to you baby, or was it always just

Stray paper, stray paper, stray paper,

Burning in my hands.

Stray paper, stray paper, stray paper,

Burning in my hands,

Burning in my hands,

Burning in my hands.

LAURA MARLING: DEVIL'S SPOKE.

LAURA MARLING is undoubtedly one of the important names in music this year. Her album "I speak, Because I can" has become one of the great successes of British folk music. In one survey, the British gave Marling number one in the ranking of the most relevant and influential personalities from the world of music. Today we have chosen DEVIL'S SPOKE, the song that opens the album. I hope you like it.

LYRICS

I might be apart of this

ripple on water from a lonesome drip

A fallen tree that witness me

I'm alone,

Him and me.

And then life it's self can not aspire

to have someone be so admired

I threw creation to my king

have the silence broken by a whispered wind.

All of this can be broken

All of this can be broken

Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground.

And root to root and tip to tip

I look at him my country gip

Let it up I own his fears

But someone brought you close to tears.

Many trains and many miles

Like you to me on this sunny isle

What of which you wish to speak

Have you come here to rescue me?

All of this can be broken

All of this can be broken

Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground.

But the love of your life

lives but lies no more

and where she lay

a flower grows.

The arms are fed

the babes have wed

and the backs have bled,

keeping her in tow.

But I am keeper

And I hold your face away from light

I am yours till they come

I am yours till they come.

Eye to eye

Nose to nose

ripping off eachothers clothes

in the most perculiar way.

Eye to eye

Nose to nose

ripping off eachothers clothes

in the most perculiar way.

SHELBY LYNNE: ALIBI.

SHELBY LYNNE is probably the best American songwriter of her generation. Album after album always surprises us with genuine gems. Today we chose ALIBI from her eleventh and final album "Tears, Lies and Alibis" (2010). A beautiful slow song in which Shelby Lynne gets once again make it easy The difficult. Hope you like it.

LYRICS

I know that look in your eyes

I've seen it before

Think I'd be used of it now

But I beg for more

I know you've been staying out late

I hear you when you come in

I pretend to be sleeping

So we don't have to act like friends

My nights are not the only lonely time

Mornings trashed me and the birds

I cry and look out the window

And I just can't wait to hear your alibi

I know I don't know what

But I bet she looks good

She probably has a fancy job

And works in the office like you

I'm sure she doesn't have the time to think about

Who you're married to

Poor girl sure it's hard enough

To concentrate on you

All starch white shirt perfectly clear house

You never noticed it anyhow

But she gets through draggin you by

Looking for shoulders save way to cry

But I'm over here baby

Look in my

cause this is the last time

I listen to your

Alibi

DAVID GRAY: SAIL AWAY.

"White Ladder" (1998) is the album of my life and DAVID GRAY one of my favorites singer-songwriters. I think I was taking too long to include a song from this great album in this blog.

David Gray - Sail Away por Dixvad59

Now a Live Version:

LYRICS

Sail away with me honey

I put my heart in your hands

Sail away with me honey now, now, now

Sail away with me

What will be will be

I wanna hold you now

Crazy skies all wild above me now

Winter howling at my face

And everything I held so dear

Disappeared without a trace

Oh all the times I've tasted love

Never knew quite what I had

Little Darling if you hear me now

Never needed you so bad

Spinning round inside my head

Sail away with me honey

I put my heart in your hands

Sail away with me honey now, now, now

Sail away with me

What will be will be

I wanna hold you now

I've been talking drunken gibberish

Falling in and out of bars

Trying to get some explanation here

For the way some people are

How did it ever come so far

Sail away with me honey

I put my heart in your hands

Sail away with me honey now, now, now

Sail away with me

What will be will be

I wanna hold you now

Sail away with me honey

I put my heart in your hands

Sail away with me honey now, now, now

Sail away with me

What will be will be

I wanna hold you now

[Repeat chorus]

PATTY GRIFFIN: RAIN.

PATTY GRIFFIN is an American Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter and musician. She released her first album in 1996 and has published seven more to date. We could talk to about her as a folk singer or alternative country. Today I select RAIN, but from where I am there is a splendid sun, a beautiful song taken from their 2002 album "1000 Kisses". Evocative song that makes you reflect on life.

LYRICS

It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart

Beating close to mine

Pounding up against the stone and steel

Walls that I won't climb

Sometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep

You think that you're gonna drown

Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep

With all this rain falling down

Strange how hard it rains now

Rows and rows of big dark clouds

When I'm holding on underneath this shroud

Rain

Its hard to know when to give up the fight

Two things you want will just never be right

Its never rained like it has to night before

Now I don't wanna beg you baby

For something maybe you could never give

I'm not looking for the rest of your life

I just want another chance to live

Strange how hard it rains now

Rows and rows of big dark clouds

When I'm holding on underneath this shroud

Rain

Strange how hard it rains now

Rows and rows of big dark clouds

When I'm holding on underneath this shroud

Rain

Strange how hard it rains now

Rows and rows of big dark clouds

When I'm still alive underneath this shroud

Rain Rain Rain

DAYNA KURTZ: LOVE GETS IN THE WAY.

DAYNA KURTZ is a singer-songwriter from New Jersey. Her music can be described as a blend of Jazz, Folk and Pop. Dayna has published nine albums to date, since 1997. We have chosen LOVE GETS IN THE WAY from the album "Postcards from Downton" (2002), because this blog is called "Delicatessens" and this song is the most exquisite we can hear. Dayna is most popular in Europe than U.S.A. She is sufficiently known in Spain, because She offers concerts quite often. From here I recommend that if She goes through your town, you must not fail to see her live. It's a great experience. Dayna Kurtz is an example of what it is a truly independent artist

LYRICS

I’ve made love with one eye on the door

I’ve left good rooms with nothing to say

I wanted to love them

but love got in the way

I wanted to love them

but love gets in the way

And so what if everything’s changed

and so what if i’ve held out for more

I'm all wild in places I wasn’t before

I'm wild in places where I wasn’t before

So come on and make a mess of me

I won’t walk away

I'm ready as i’ll ever be

I won’t walk away

I want to be fed by you

I want to be led by you

I thought I wanted freedom

but love got in the way

I went looking for freedom

but love got in the way

So come on and make a mess of me

I won’t walk away

I'm ready as i’ll ever be

I won’t walk away

And angels will call on me

Now everywhere i go

Angels will follow me

BETH ORTON: CONCEIVED.

BETH ORTON is a british singer-songwriter of electronic folk. She is distinguished by a peculiar voice that is recognized by just hearing a note. She started in music with William Orbit and The Chemical Brothers. She has published five records to date. We have Chosen CONCEIVED from her album "Comfort of Strangers" (2006) because is the kind of song you think you have listened before and the other reason is its naive Videoclip.

LYRICS

Want to keep your dream alive?

Can I keep it with mine?

But I'm no good for you

I suppose when you get a cold idea

You still hold me close at night

Never liked you any less

And the world?s not such a friendly place, is it?

It can grow very cold, very quickly, and for a very long time

If the sun, with some twist of fate, starts giving out it's shine

Some of the time the future comes right 'round to haunt me

Some of the time the future comes 'round just to see

That all is as it could be

Like it's there to remind me

We've got to wait and see

Can I still be conceived

In a loveless embrace

Still we learn to be a warm sun

Around a very cold galaxy

It's just like you said it could be

Oh, it's like you said it would be

Some of the time the future comes right 'round to haunt me

Some of the time the future comes 'round just to see

That all is as it should be

Like it's there to remind me

We've got to let it be -yea

Some of the time the future comes right 'round to haunt me

Some of the time the future comes 'round just to see

That all is as it could be

And it's there to remind me

We've got to wait and see

We've got to let it be - yea

Wait and see, wait and see

DAR WILLIAMS: FAREWELL TO THE OLD ME.

DAR WILLIAMS is one of the most interesting names of folk music in last two decades. She started her career at 1993 ahd she has published seven records to date. We have chosen FAREWELL TO THE OLD ME, one of her most beautiful songs that it belongs to the album The Beauty of the Rain (2000).

LYRICS

How can I ask love to hold the mystery

When just look at me

It's all push and pull collateral

I don't want to be the one who gets the next surprise

I'll plan it out this time

Though I used to think that things were meant to be

So farewell to the old me

Farewell to the old me

My life is working better now

It's always changing anyhow

I danced a lot of nights until the grass was wet

It wasn't over yet

'Round 'bout 3 a. m. you made a friend

And I followed a lot of vital crazy thoughts

Because it's where the meaning was

And I tried to find it every other way

So farewell to the old me

Farewell to the old me

My life is getting better now

But always changing anyhow

But I can turn on the charm

Show them nothing more

Than what I've done before

It's nothing much new

But it'll do

'Cause I don't wanna be the one who makes you laugh out loud

I wanna make you proud

And you always said you knew what I could be

So farewell to the old me

Farewell to the old me

Farewell to the old me

My life is working better now

But always changing anyhow

Time

And the old me

Farewell to the old me

Farewell...

MUMFORD & SONS: SIGH NO MORE.

MUMFORD & SONS is one of the bands of the last times. Their album SIGH NO MORE (2009) has been a great success. We have rescued precisely the same title song of this album. Mumford & Sons Recalls other bands like The Waterboys or Fleet Foxes. Their music style is classified as folk. While that may be oversimplifying. Because this is the debut album from a band that is still a long way to go.

LYRICS

Serve God love me and men

This is not the end

Lived unbruised we are friends

And I'm sorry

I'm sorry

Sigh no more, no more

One ? one unsure

My heart was never pure

And you know me

And you know me

And man is a giddy thing

Oh man is a giddy thing

Oh man is a giddy thing

Oh man is a giddy thing

Love that will not betray you, dismay or enslave you,

It will set you free

Be more like the man you were made to be.

There is a design,

An alignment to cry,

At my heart you see,

The beauty of love as it was made to be (x4)
