Lied van de week : week 16 - 2011

I've got this friend - The Civil Wars

Dankzij AlternativeBlog leerde ik deze week dit prachtig stukje americana kennen. The Civil Wars, een Amerikaans duo dat net zijn eerste album uit heeft, heeft niet zo heel veel nodig om te overtuigen, maar benut de schaarse middelen optimaal...

Je vindt dit nummer op het album Barton hollow, dat je hier kan kopen. Dit nummer krijg je alvast hier (rechtsklikken en opslaan als...) gratis aangeboden door de groep...

Lyrics :

I've got this friend
I don't think you know him
He's not much for words
He's hid in his hardened way

Oh I've got this friend
A loveless romantic
All that he really wants
Is someone to want him back

Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh,
If the right one came, along

I've got this friend
I don't think you know her
She sings a simple song
It sounds a lot like his

Oh I've got this friend
Holding onto her heart
Like it's a little secret
Like it's all she's got to give

Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, if the right one came, along

It'd be such a shame
(If they never meet)
She sounds lovely
(He sounds right out of a dream)
If only
(If only)
If only

Ohh
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh,
(I've got this friend) if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh,
(I've got this friend)
If the right one came, along
