Blogovision 2016/My top-20 albums of the year - no.02: case/lang/veirs

Unaware

Of just how beautiful you are

From within

Uncontainable

Exquisite to the detail

It hypnotizes people

Robs them of their social graces

Swarming to your glow

Fanning with phrases

But I know

It’s all honey and smoke

They don’t really love you

Like I do

I watch as they sing to you

I watch as they dance with you

I watch as they pour

Honey in your ear

Lyrics from Honey And Smoke by case/lang/veirs from their album case/lang/veirs

Crisis

If I killed your father

With a drone bomb

How would you feel?

Crisis

If I killed your mother

With a drone bomb

How would you feel?

Father

If I killed your children

With a drone bomb

How would you feel?

Crisis

If I tortured your brother

In Guantanamo

I’m sorry

If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game

If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame

If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame

You want it darker

We kill the flame

Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name

Vilified, crucified, in the human frame

A million candles burning for the help that never came

You want it darker

Hineni, hineni

I'm ready, my lord

Red crosses on wooden doors

And if you float you burn

Loose talk around tables

Abandon all reason

Avoid all eye contact

Do not react

Shoot the messengers

This is a low flying panic attack

Sing the song of sixpence that goes

Burn the witch

Just please, more time

I'm sorry, I don't know how you feel

I don't know how you feel

It's hard to tell if I don't know how you feel

But in my heart

There's a radio silence going on

But in my heart

There's a…

Ya dijimos No

Pero el Si está en todo

Lo de adentro y de afuera

Lo de lejos y de cerca

Lo que todos hemos visto

Y lo que ni siquiera dicen

Ya dijimos No!

English translation from the original Spanish:

We said no

But the If is in everything

The inside and the outside

Far and near

What we have all seen

And what they do not even say

We already said No!

Blogovision 2016/My top-20 albums of the year - no.08: The Hidden Cameras - Home On Native Land

I burned everything I own, left it in a pile smoldering

Took about on foot out into the wood like an animal

Hap’d upon a tree, slept there underneath the birds and planes

Woke up to find that I was alone

Took a man’s ride with an eagle eye I was careless

Rolling down the road, in from the cold I was tripping

He took me to his lair said we should be married with a grin

I refuse to make amends

Refuse to wallow anymore

Sittin’ by the radio, I had the strangest feeling

I felt deja vu, was listening to every word my broken heart had said

Then the caller on the line, she made a dedication

That we should open up our eyes

Sittin’ by the radio, the sky is crying

Can you see me by in this life

You talking to shadows

Can you recognize

What we want is loving

Look in the mirror there’s a fear

Of finger tears

Tracing the shape of my love

To my tear

Look like a lie that’s whispering

Forgotten side

The secrets fading

In the back of my mind

Where we want is loving

Quiet as that secret you keep

Still in your heart as you sleep

Old as the lay of the land

Cold as all matters at hand

Long as the river of song

Mad as the world it moves on

High as the heavenly sea

Low lays the devil in me

Could've swap it in please

The part b is a subconscious

My desire takes place

Anywhere everywhere

Everywhere

Moving on

To keep the pain to a minimal

Weightless, only wait for a fall

How long must I wait for you?

I'm dance in the evening

How, must I wait for you

To become what I need?
