Song Review
Here is a man who could take me any day. With his poetic and untamed lyrics, Ramona Cordova takes the top spot on my list of favourite artists. His first album was released in 2005 with the title The Giver’s Reply and is a completely themed album devoted to the story of a boy named Giver. Somewhat comparable to Bright Eyes, this indie rock style appeals to just about all audiences.
The entire album is an utter experience to listen to but this chosen song plays a particular role in the tugging of my heart strings. Enjoy.
I was born with eyes
I’ve seen what you’re all about
I was raised with ears
I’ve heard what you have to say
But what i want to know right now- is what i couldn’t ask
With my mouth
I was born with feet
I’ve walked all around this land
I was born with hands
I’ve pushed through some padlocked doors
But what i want to know right now- is why i feel so heavy
On my back
I played to leave this and now it’s making it worse
And now i know that i don’t
I was born with a face
That shows what i’m thinking
All the time
Despite what my mouth says
And my body tried to act
Well i’m no good at that
Can’t pretend
I am who i am
So my nose keeps me on my path
And my chin tries to stay above my collar
No matter how heavy my head
