I came across a song today that had some of the most beautiful lyrics I've heard in quite some time. I needed to share them with someone so I figured I would post them on here, and even if no one really reads this blog, I will at least have them here for myself in the future.
The song is called 'Come On Get Higher' by Matt Nathanson. I have been listening to Matt for several years, ever since I saw him open for Howie Day at a show back in Vancouver. The song starts out with...
"I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget
and then it continues on later with...
I miss the sound of your voice
Loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet
Perfect words that you said
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget
These two stanzas of words are truly breathtaking to me; so filled with love, passion and longing for special times that have been lost. With his smooth voice accompanied by a simple acoustic guitar, Matt makes this song an absolute must hear for anyone who has ever loved someone and then lost them.
I have included a video of Matt performing the song for your listening pleasure.
