Hump Day Jams

Have you listened to The Civil Wars new album yet? It is all I have listened to this week and I am in love. I am obsessed. It rings in my soul and it is perfection. Her voice is so unique and so beautiful. It's so hauntingly, stingingly, bitterly sweet. The harmonies they have together are so pure and easy. They sound like they are floating on air.

My friend Niki was talking with me about them and she said this ruby of a thought. "They sing life. They just sound like life." And they do. I love them.

My favorite song on the album is called Dust to Dust. I can't. Take a listen, beautiful world.

Also that album cover? Can they stop being so perfect? And these lyrics.

It's not your eyes,

It's not what you say,

It's not your laughter

That gives you away.

You're just lonely

You've been lonely

too long.

Oh, you're acting your thin disguise

All your perfectly delivered lines

They don't fool me

You've been lonely

too long.

Let me in the wall 

you've built around

We can light a match

and burn them down.

Let me hold your hand 

and dance round and round the flames 

in front of us.

Dust to dust.

You've held your head up

You've fought the fight

You bear the scars

You've done your time.

Listen to me,

You've been lonely

too long.

Let me in the wall

you've built around

We can light a match

and burn them down.

Let me hold your hand

and dance round and round the flames

in front of us.

Dust to dust.

You're like a mirror, reflecting me.

Takes one to know one, take it from me.

You've been lonely,

You've been lonely, too long.

We've been lonely

We've been lonely, too long.
