Back Broke Lyrics
Back broke and dancing
Cause you're here
Beside me
Cause you're here
Cause you're here
Here with me
Back broke and happy
Cause you're near
Cause you're near
Nearer to me
I came on your command
Don't give me false hope
I'm back by big demand
Don't give me false hope
Back broke and smiling
Cause it's clear
Cause it's clear
You still want me
I came on your command
Don't give me false hope
I came on your command
Don't give me false hope
We're back by big demand
Don't give us false hope
Back broke and crying
Cause it's near
Cause it's near
Our parting
Cause you're here
Beside me
Cause you're here
Cause you're here
Here with me
Cause you're near
Cause you're near
Nearer to me
Don't give me false hope
I'm back by big demand
Don't give me false hope
Cause it's clear
Cause it's clear
You still want me
Don't give me false hope
I came on your command
Don't give me false hope
We're back by big demand
Don't give us false hope
Cause it's near
Cause it's near
Our parting

Absolutely amazingly beautiful song.
First time I heard this was at there concert in Denmark, about a year ago soon. I loved it already back than and I have been waiting ever since for it to be released. Finally the wait is over and it's just a wonderful version of the song thats on The Swell Seasons new album; "Strict Joy".
It kind of reminds me of a Simon & Garfunkel song. Bittersweet, yet it has a lightness to it and is very pleasing to the ear.
It's already made it onto my top 10 of favorite songs.
Glen's described it as being like the blues, where if you talk or sing about the things that bring you down, they don't affect you as much. It's the same concept as with Strict Joy, the poem for which the album was named. It's printed in the front of the album notes. Absolutely beautiful poem.
Saw him recently, asked us to hum along. As a 15th century gypsy, with wings.
