hello all

well you got two posts yesterday but don't think this will become a habit. . .

so, it's time to pick two more frames lyrics for our contemplation and musing. . .my hyperlinks aren't working today but you can cut n paste the urls i give if you wanna have a listen...please use either decent speakers or stick on headphones...

first up - a wonderful example of the frames' crescendo - this starts out small and keeps building...if they do this live and i get through it without major tears this will be a miracle. . .

What Happens When The Heart Just Stops (unofficial) http://www.theframes.ie/v4/music/ftb.shtml

So what happens when the heart just stops
Stops caring for anyone
The hollow in your chest dries up
And you stop believing

So what happens when the heart gives up
But the body goes on living
The blood crawls to a slow and stops
And flows away

Well we got no-one to meet
No love we would beseech
We only have ourselves to blame for everything
The was no answer in the dust
And I'm missing you so much
And now you're sleeping
And I'm leaving

Empty-handed waiting
Time it will subside and we'll agree
It was a given
Well there was no standard we could set
And the world it does regret
To have to leave you in this state of bereavement

You see I'm feeling everything
Nothing gets by

There is a hollow in my chest
The time I won't forget
There is no comfort in the eyes
They put us always to the test
I can't prepare myself for that
But I work it out in time
There is a love that flows between us
Ever-changing everyday
I worked myself up to a crawl
But I'm not fearing it at all
We have no reason left to stay
And that's why we're leaving
And there was no answer in the dust
And the one I feared to trust
There is a lie that drags us
Beating and pulling into disappointment

I'm disappointed
I'm misappointed
I'm disappointed

It's so late, till you're gone

and on the same basis, this epic from burn the maps. burn the maps was less than a week old when the lads played belfast a year ago. this track was the diamond in the night - what one friend called a religious experience. and at that stage we barely knew this track.

Dream Awake - www.theframes.ie/v4/music/btm.shtml

There's a point in all your dreaming,
To every time mean has just deserves,
And every time I caught you leaving..

I had to dream awake..

And for every time I came home screaming,
And got sent away, with no warning at all,

I had to dream awake..

There's a calling, a calling, a calling,,
To everyone, who lost something

And who had to dream awake.

There's a fight were not contending,
Where we have to the words get mixed,
And the point is lost
Where we have to dream awake.

So take us under now..
Take us over now..

There's a warning, a warning, a warning,
To everyone, who found something..

next time we'll have two examples of songs in which glenn hansard delivers a lyric in a strangled cry or shout at the climax. . .well that gives us a few options ... :0)
