I Listen Close Lyrics
I unlocked your side.
It got dark and we went north.
Trying to peek through driving snow
And I listened to you low.
Outside the wind got fast and cold.
And made a tiny sound, the ghostly Blow.
You sang low, I listened close.
I tried to join you in your note.
The 3 parts surprised us both:
We 3; you and me and the Blow!
(it will be grey when we get home,
I listen close, you keep me warm.)
It got dark and we went north.
Trying to peek through driving snow
And I listened to you low.
Outside the wind got fast and cold.
And made a tiny sound, the ghostly Blow.
You sang low, I listened close.
I tried to join you in your note.
The 3 parts surprised us both:
We 3; you and me and the Blow!
(it will be grey when we get home,
I listen close, you keep me warm.)

I can't think of any word to describe microphones songs besides beautiful. Archetype of song...
this song is tangled up with grey images of winter. It's haunting, and beautiful, and almost primal. The year could be 1592, or 2006.
