Post #672: Bright Eyes - "If Winter Ends" - Letting Off the Happiness

I saw that Conor Oberst is making a stop at the Granada Theater in May. I was never a huge Bright Eyes fan, but I always thought it was super cool that The Faint was on the same small record label as Bright Eyes was --- Saddle Creek Records. You might recall that the band that I played in opened for The Faint when they made their first appearance in Texas at The Slaughterhouse in Denton, which was, in fact, an old slaughterhouse.

I will let today's song speak for itself. I would, however, like to reiterate the following lines: And if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere; Just take me there, just take me there, just take me there...

And I will warn you now that this song is not suitable for work or for little ears!!!

Until next time...

I dreamt of a fever,

One that would cure me of this cold, winter set heart.

With heat to melt these frozen tears 

Burned with reasons as to carry on.

Into these twisted months I plunge without a light to follow

But I swear that I would follow anything

Just get me out of here.

But you get six months to adapt

Then you get two more to leave town.

And in the event that you do adapt 

We still might not want you around.

But I fell for the promise of a life with a purpose

But I know that that's impossible now.

And so I drink to stay warm

And to kill selected memories

'cause I just can't think anymore about that 

Or about her tonight

But I give myself three days to feel better

Or else I swear I'll drive right off a f*cking cliff

'cause if I can't learn to make myself feel better

How can I expect anyone else to give a sh*t?

And I scream for the sunlight or a car to take me anywhere

Just get me past this dead and eternal snow

'cause I swear that I'm dying, slowly but it's happening

And if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere

Just take me there, just take me there, just take me there

And say, and lie to me, and say, and lie to me, and say

It's going to be alright [x9]
