I am so excited about the new music I’ve been discovering this month. Not just awesome music but some incredible lyrical work as well. Here’s a sneak preview… two songs I ran across tonight which I just added. One is about love and what it can do to us. The other is about a prostitute whom someone has unfortunately fallen in love with. That one really reminds me of an amazing Swedish movie I saw at the Chicago International Film Festival last year: Bang Bang Orangutang. By the way, major props once again to Dave Cusick’s Post Modern Rock Show… I download the show to my Shuffle and I discovered both of these songs as I was listening while driving home this morning.

Inside Out
by Solar Moon

last night he dreamt of angels
last night he dreamt of her–angelic
she is truly (like) an angel
she wears her beauty like wings
wrapped around his soul
this is what happens when you’re in love
love makes us
love invents us
love turns us
inside out
he has found a side he has never seen before
all light and silver and in-can-descence
the wings…
she has wings that he missed the first time around
he wants to fly (she already knows)
in her light(ness) he will learn to fly
but he will never be free
because love blooms
love grows
love wraps itself around a beating heart
and never lets go

Different
by New London Fire

She had to slip into her dress
but not before the smoke can clear her head.
While the worst she can confess
but the thoughts have left her mind.
Sometimes they never find their way.

Now she just turns to say
Please don’t wait for me today
things will not be different now.
They will lead the way into some forgotten space
where things will not be different now.

She’s just forgotten like
a ghost
and the worst thing that she could ever hear is
I think I love you dear
as she’s taking off her clothes
someday you’ll have to find a home.

Now she just turns to say
Please don’t wait for me today
things will not be different now.
They will lead the way into some forgotten space
where things will not be different now.

Words come and softly touch your smile.
They make their way into the space
where they’re dead and out of place.
Don’t believe me I have tried
but I am resting for a while.
I will look for you again.
Someday you’ll have to find a home
where you go I will appear.

Now she just turns to say
Please don’t wait for me today
things will not be different now.
They will lead the way into some forgotten space
where things will not be different now.
