What would life be without music?

[julchen11]

I always loved music, I always will.
There are few songs I can't get enough of them.  Sometimes music plays in the background and in a split second I start listening, caught in the moment by the voice, by the melody, sometimes I even don't understand everything the artist is singing but I can imagine what he or she means.

Last week I've found such a jewel, a singing poet with a great voice.
I only knew his song "Take me to church" and it took me quite a time to understand the sense of it. So I got myself his CD - best choice in months. I translated every song and wow - there's so much heart in the lyrics. If he wouldn't sing, he had to be a poet.

I picked up one song for today - it such a fanfic song *g*.

"Like Real People Do"
I had a thought, dear
However scary
About that night
The bugs and the dirt
Why were you digging?
What did you bury
Before those hands pulled me
From the earth?

I will not ask you where you came from
I will not ask and neither should you

Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do

I knew that look dear
Eyes always seeking
Was there in someone
That dug long ago
So I will not ask you
Why you were creeping
In some sad way I already know

So I will not ask you where you came from
I would not ask and neither would you

Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do

I could not ask you where you came from
I could not ask and neither could you

Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We could just kiss like real people do

Who could be meant? Any suggestions?

Hozier is very popular in the US. I love his custom made guitar. It has strings like a guitar but a banjo resonator. That gives it a very unusual sound. Thank you for posting the song, he has a beautiful voice.

Thank YOU my dear for stopping by. The voice full of soul and very strong.
... to me he allows us to have a peek through a keyhole into his world.
As Julia said his songs/poetry can be interpreted in many ways.

Happy New Year, my friend!
