Winter Winds
I realise this may be a bit of a lazy post seeing as the words I am about to write are not my own. I wish they were though - this is the most beautiful song I have heard in an age. The whole album is wonderful actually so if you're looking for something new to listen to, may I suggest Sigh No More by Mumford & Sons. You can click HERE to hear their song Winter Winds, the lyrics of which I have taken the liberty of writing out for you below to read:
As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts
The warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms
Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night?
For every kiss your beauty trumped my doubt
And my head told my heart
Let love grow
But my heart told my head
This time no, this time no
We'll be washed and buried one day my girl
And the time we were given will be left for the world
The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague
So let the memories be good for those who stay
And my head told my heart
Let love grow
But my heart told my head
This time no, this time no
The shame that sent me off from the god that I once loved
Was the same that sent me into your arms
And pestilence has won when you are lost and I am gone
And no hope, no hope will overcome
But if your strife strikes at your sleep
Remember spring swaps snow for leaves
You'll be happy and wholesome again
When the city clears and sun ascends
And my head told my heart
Let love grow
But my heart told my head
This time no, this time no

Hello! Have had you bookmarked for ages but never actually "followed" you! So hello from me!
ReplyDeleteHello PhotoPuddle! Nice to see you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tune! But er... they seem to have chosen an exceptionally windy day to film the video (har har har). I must say, one of those boys is extremely handsome, or is it just me?
ReplyDeleteI love when people share good music! Thanks, Gappy-girl! (BTW, starting True Blood Season 2 tonight. Hope it won't disappoint!)
ReplyDeleteBeing Me, No. It isn't just you ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow. Poetry. Pure and simple.
ReplyDeleteGreat song with beautiful lyrics. Thanks, I've just listened to some more of their songs on youtube - think I might have to download some of their stuff.
