I had planned on posting this earlier in the evening, but upon returning to my apartment after buying my mother going-away sushi, I found that “By the People: The Election of Barack Obama” was airing on HBO. Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, or in my case a Canadian, this is a movie you should take a look at. Anyways, I’ve got another song up tonight from the St John’s, Newfoundland sextet Hey Rosetta! (the other two songs can be found here and here). Like the previously posted songs, Black Heart can be found on Hey Rosetta!’s PolarisPolaris reviews
nominated 2008 album Into Your Lungs (and around in your heart, and on through your blood). As the band seems to do on a daily basis, they have again crafted a sweeping epic that, carried by Tim Baker’s disgustingly passionate vocals, will have you shouting along as it finds its way to climax; even if you are in a suburban apartment at 11:00pm surrounded by neighbors who are in bed at 9:00pm. I’m certain one day my neighbors will thank me for introducing them to so many great songs.
you bright sun
you darkest dirt
hardest paradox i ever learned
you’re tireless
and i tire quick
it’s the easy death of reason within my chest
you bright sun
you darkest dirt
hardest cryer i ever heard
you cry out your orders
you cry out your pain
and every letter’s followed like its sacrosanct
i’m at the mercy
of an idiot tyrant king
i jump high! talk loud! and listen? i’m always listening!
cause he built his throne from my bones and skin
i love, i hate, i hate to live this way
a dog, a slave, we do what our deity dictates
and i just want
someone to lean on
i just want someone
to lean on me.
