Lied van de week : week 5 - 2013

Nothing arrived - Villagers

 

Wat ik van het nieuwe album, {Awayland}, van Villagers vind, kon je hier al lezen. Single Nothing arrived benoemde ik toen al als aanstekelijker dan de griep. Daar heb ik weinig aan toe te voegen...

Je kan het album hier kopen.

Lyrics:

Savanna scatters and the seabird sings
So why should we fear what travel brings?
What were we hoping to get out of this?
Some kind of momentary bliss?

I waited for something, and something died
So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived
It's our dearest ally, it's our closest friend
It's our darkest blackout, it's our final end
My dear sweet nothing, let's start anew
From here all in is just me and you

I waited for something and something died
So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived
Well I guess it's over, I guess it's begun
It's a losers' table, but we've already won
It's a funny battle, it's a constant game
I guess I was busy when nothing came

I guess I was busy (when nothing arrived)
I guess I was busy (when nothing arrived)
I guess I was busy (when nothing arrived)
I guess I was busy (when nothing arrived)
I guess I was busy (when nothing arrived)

I waited for something and something died
So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived
I waited for something and something died
So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived
