Lied van de week : week 39 - 2012

The gravedigger's song - Mark Lanegan Band

 

Hoewel deze single van Mark Lanegan al uit is sinds januari, zit hij nu toch weer heel stevig in mijn hoofd, wellicht dankzij Vincent die de video nog eens postte op Facebook. Prachtige song uit één van de mooiste platen van dit jaar!

Je kan Blues funeral nog steeds hier kopen.

Lyrics:

With piranha teeth I've been dreaming of you
And the taste of your love so sweet
Honest it's true
Through my heart flows sleep
And a dog heavy rain
Where the gravedigger's song is sung you've been torturing me

Tout est noir mon amour
Tout est blanc
Je t'aime mon amour
Comme j'aime la nuit

Love is the medicine good?
Is the crow flying eight miles high
Over wire and wood?
Shovel down six feet
With a head heavy pain
The magnolia blooms so sweet and it fades just the same

To the stars my love
To the sea
To the wheels my love
Until they roll all over me

Oh love I've been thinking of you
With razor wire teeth so sharp
Honest it's true
In my blood flows sleep
And a dog heavy rain
The magnolia blooms so sweet only torturing me

To the stars my love
To the sea
To the wheels my love
Until they roll all over me
