Week One Hundred and Forty-Four: The Blow - "True Affection" - Paper Television

So after discovering that Pandora had a sleep timer under the "settings" feature, I have spent my past few months drifting off to the tunes that it selects for me while shuffling my stations. A few weeks ago, however, I was completely jarred out of my sleep by this one. In fact, I kind of thought I was just dreaming it at first. It is so unlike anything that I have heard in quite some time. Much to my surprise, it was actually released in 2006, so I'm not sure how I missed it. Regardless, I am so pleased that it finally found me!

I was hoping to fall equally in love with some of their other tunes. Sadly, no matter how many I attempted to make it through, I could really only find one other that I like called "Hey Boy". Enjoy!!!

I was out of your league
And you were twenty thousand underneath the sea
Waving affections
You were out of my league
At a distance that I didn't want to see
Down to the bottom

I wanted a junction and often there was one
You'd surfaced face-first and we'd
Share thought bubbles and
I still believe in the phrases that we breathed
But I know the distance isn't fair to cross

I was out of your league
And you were twenty thousand underneath the sea
Waving affections
You were out of my league
At a distance that I didn't want to see
Wanted you nearer

Your depths made a pressure that
Punctured my works and all your fluids couldn't tolerate the
Force of my thirst
I love the place where we shared our tiny grace
But just because its real don't mean its gonna work

I was out of your league
And you were twenty thousand underneath the sea
Waving affections
You were out of my league
At a distance that I didn't want to see
Wanted you nearer

And true affection floats
True affection sinks
Like a stone
I never felt so close
I never felt so all alone

I was out of your league
And you were twenty thousand underneath the sea
Waving affections
You were out of my league
At a distance that I didn't want to see
Wanted you nearer
