I rarely post music here… Why?  Because, I’ll confess, I RARELY ever listen when anyone else posts music.

I’m SORRY omg I’m sorry!   I feel like such a jerk now… But I can’t lie. I just… I don’t.  I’ll read nine-kajillion word blog posts two or three times, no sweat.  But the musical posts?  I just can’t get into ‘em most days.

So I sort of figure no one else is listening either.

(I’m clearly a raging narcissist. *flips hair back* If I do something, you lot must be doing it too.  And if I don’t do something, obviously you guys don’t do it either.  I mean, right?  Right.)

Anyway, I love this song far too much not to post it.  I really LOVE it. A lot a lot a lot.  As one of the comments on the youtube video says:

“This is how love should sound.”

Lyrics first (adjusted for the live version – he changes a few things) and the video second.  It’s only about three and a half minutes long.  And  it’s live – categorically the ONLY way to judge a musician.

Since I rarely do it, I don’t expect any of you to read and listen.

I just hope you do.

Desire

(featuring The Cardinals in this version)

Two hearts fading, like a flower
And all this waiting, for the power
For some answer, to this fire
Sinking slowly, the water’s higher
Desire
With no secrets and no obsession
This time I’m speeding in no direction
Without a reason. What is this fire?
Sinking slowly, my one and only
Desire
You know me, you don’t mind waiting
You just can’t show me, but God I’m praying
That you’ll find me, you’ll see me,
You’ll run and never tire
Desire
