A Tori Amos holiday song in the middle of March. Why not? And it's a love song. Again, why not?
I just want to spend
A silent night with you...

And then the obligatory "MW" song...

Don't be alarmed
It's not the end of the world
If we're breaking the rules it's fine
I disregard this kind of problem all the time
It's not as if it's going to kill anyone
There's no victim if there's no crime
Just draw another if you think we've crossed the line

[...]

Although it may seem unconventional sometimes
Indiscretion is worth a try
If you just play along I promise we'll be fine
So leave your hang-ups back at the door
When you and I are down on the floor
Will you know what to do about it
You know what to do about it

[...]

It's not as bad as they say
If this is such a mistake
Why does it seem to make you so damn happy?
This is no time to behave
Let's both get carried away
If there's a price to be paid
It won't stop me

I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb

My heart's like a wound

Can't really understand the words, but this band is sort of awesome. There's The Cure in there, there's My Bloody Valentine...

From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That had brightened all our pathways for a while.

Just like the soul singer in a session band
Wailed like an infant atop a white baby grand
We'll need every sand bag and every man
To save the soul singer in the session band

Please don't flow this fast
You hold a little hum
I'll bottle sounds of me for you

Please don't flow so fast
You little mountain din
I'll bottle piano sounds from you

My heart's on the brink, I thought you should know
And my body shakes, every time you show...

I can't decide if I like this song or not. English producer, reggae-influenced. I hate reggae. But this song is sort of...something.

May the good Lord shine a light on you
Make every song you sing your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun...
