*new love! yes, another one.
the lyrics are thought provoking. made me wonder about the significance of the garden of eden and the loss of innocence in the song, white apple. sort of like a coming of age song, i think. maybe? i could be wrong, but still, makes me wonder! i tend to be drawn towards the melancholy songs, this one is no exception.
(my video is too big of a file to post here. darn. npr has better music and videos anyway. or myspace.)
In shadow
In dark
In cold wind
Open up your heart
This time brushes
Your face
And one loved then
Every new shape
One loved then
Form what could
Not get left behind
And washed away
Some were seasons
Some just days
I’m bringing nothing with me I mean to save
The feigned sweetness
This wick of light
This white apple
Full of bite
White apple
Full of what
Has slipped away from me
Full of flesh
Sweet as memory
Full of hope
Grown from a fallen tree
Full of life
I can’t just let myself believe
So if I haunt you
If I do
If my shadow
Leans up on you too
No good intentions
No ways I talk
Just leave the light lit for you to walk
I leave the light lit for you to walk
