Clunky title right 😅

I'm listening to The Boss 'Dancing in the Dark' and
"You can't start a fire,
you can't start a fire without a spark"
just gets me.

Bloody love this song ❤️ 🎵

Detectorists theme song Smile it’s so lovely!

Will you search through the loamy earth for me?
Climb through the briar and bramble
I'll be your treasure
I felt the touch of the kings and the breath of the wind
I knew the call of all the song birds
They sang all the wrong words
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
Will you swim through the briny sea for me?
Roll along the ocean's floor?
I'll be your treasure
I'm with the ghosts of the men who can never sing again
There's a place, follow me
Where a love lost at sea
Is waiting for you
Is waiting for you

Nobody writes lyrics like Brandi Carlisle. This was the first time I'd ever heard one of her songs and I immediately had to track down everything she'd ever written.

Old thread I know but ; I love Carlile too but strictly speaking she didn't write those lyrics. She does write but she collaborates with the Hanseroth brothers and Phil Hanseroth wrote that one.

Inside the song: "The Story" by Brandi Carlile — Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers | Words and music

Brandi Carlile’s breakthrough song “The Story,” the title track of her 2007 album, sounds intensely personal, even cathartic. Carlile must be singing from raw experience, right?

Say it once again with feeling
How the death rattle breathing
Silenced as the soul was leaving
The deflation of our dreaming
Leaving me bereft and reeling
My beloved ghost and me
Sitting in a tree
D-Y-I-N-G
