On
the edge of the world
All you’ve seen and heard
Won’t be held in words
It’s bigger than this
It’s bigger than you
Swallowed up by the tune
Sing it out into view
The crush of the riot
Let it be quiet in here for you
All the seas surround
But they won’t drown you
Should all this block out the sun
Then we’ll build a fire for you
And love. Love won’t be
Outrun.
Deep
in your bones it aches
All the strength that it takes
all the waves it makes
it flows in your blood
facedown in the mud
and you rise like a flood
it pulls you back up
The crush of the riot
Let it be quiet in here for you
All the seas surround
But they won’t drown you
Should all this block out the sun
Then we’ll build a fire for you
And love. Love won’t be
Outrun.

may 11, 2010.
dear members of the national,
thank you for making one of the most heartbreaking and epic albums i've heard in a very long time. it feels very much the same as when i am playing the piano and am unable to verbalize emotions... like it suddenly has a place to flow. it finally has a language to speak it.
dam breaks.
and i cry like a baby.
i'm an emotional woman. and this album underlines it and puts it in boldface all caps print.
and makes me unashamed of that.
love,
nitasha
i will be buying this at the first moment i have on the 11th of may.
today is the last day to hear it on the nytimes.com
and binge i will.

black eyed angels swam with me.

Cupid blacked my eyes out
And I don’t know what love’s about
I’m a complicated answer found
My restless hands won’t calm you down
Don’t you believe it when I fall
Cos I will scale the walls
And I won’t give in when you call
I am climbing up the walls
Don’t you chase me down with words
It’s nothing that I haven’t heard
Run away while you still can
I’m just a girl; you’re still a man
Hold on if you dare
Vanish in thin air
It’s not what it seems
I’m not trying to be mean
My eyes are elsewhere
Vanish in thin air
I’m not what I seem
You’ll see what I mean
Don’t you believe it when I fall
Cos I will scale the walls
And I won’t give in when you call
I am climbing up the walls

Don’t you believe it when I fall
Cos I will scale the walls
And I won’t give in when you call
I am climbing up the walls
