Jim Adams, aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme: BEACH/SURF/SWIMMING
I was entirely tempted to feature The Beach Boys, who seem to embody this theme, but I wanted to feature something a little different. The song I opted for, well, apparently the artist has disabled his videos from being played – which seems a little counterproductive and sadly disqualifies him from being part of Song Lyric Sunday. So instead, I chose a song from a band that wrote one of my favourite ever songs.
This is another of their songs…and some people are crazy for it. These lyrics, they capture something achingly emotional. I love Snow Patrol for doing that. In some ways, this is a simple song, but for Snow Patrol fans, this is one of the songs that hooked them. The track is called “An Olive Grove Facing The Sea”. The reason we love it – it touches on those aches we feel at times.
I have tagged a video of them performing at The Royal Albert Hall at the end of this post.
Sworn to secrecy, I might go after school She was an angel, I saw her swimming there I am in such a mess, I can't cope without this She just teases, me pretends she can't see me here So let me go out there I can breathe fresh air Stay with you all night Just let me love you Just for a while, want to Be with you all night Be with you all night Until I fall asleep Until I fall asleep Until I fall asleep Until I fall asleep Just let me be here I won't tell anyone Don't want to wake up Don't want to wake up The blind lead the blind so why can't I find my way This could be heaven but I don't know where I am I am too scared to come out from behind here My body is aching, it feels like it's wearing me So let me go out there I can breathe fresh air Stay with you all night Just let me love you Just for a while, want to Be with you all night Be with you all night Until I fall asleep Until I fall asleep Until I fall asleep Until I fall asleep Just let me be here I won't tell anyone Don't want to wake up Don't want to wake up Written by: Gary Lightbody, Jonathan Graham Quinn, and Mark Peter McClelland
