Crystal Cups

The first post I write is inspired by one David Moore who for my money is the best lyricist I've ever heard. The man puts words and phrases together in a way that I think is simply magical. The lyrical content makes me jealous in a way, not because of his lyrical prowess but because of the content of what his lyrics are about. Apparently (at least from my observation) most of them are about the love of his life. My jealousy does not stem from me wanting her or anything like that but it stems from the expressiveness of his feelings for her. Listening to Chamberlain (his former band) lyrics I just feel like his words describe how someone who feels deeply for someone should express them self. I'm left wishing that someone would express them self like that for me or that I would be able to express myself like that for someone.

"If there's anything you need, please you just leave it all up to me..."
"We spent two eternal days just the way that they all oughta be...."
" I miss the weight of your eyes, when yer sneaking glances..."

I know it's all kinda corny but in my mind feelings like that only come up in some ideal of someone that I'll never be with. To have someone that you could actually say those words and feel that way about would be incredible. That would be love. I've been in love before but this would be,in the words of Steve Winwood a "higher love"



"I wish that I could tell you
Everything you need to hear
So you would know where you belong
You would rise like a song from this carnival of fear
If only you could see
The way that you shine
And that the day would rewind
When all is said and done you would finally be mine.
And I know that you’ve been hurting
and you don’t know who to blame.
But let down your fear
I will pour out my spirit into the wounds you have made
Is it breaking you down?"
