Copeland - On The Safest Ledge (Official Music Video)




So, Copeland withdrawal has finally hit pretty hard. I've been listening to the album this is from (You Are My Sunshine) for the past few days. I'm a big fan of this video. I don't think it was every officially released, but it was on the bonus DVD for the YAMS box set. 
Anyway, some lyrics so you can sing along. :)

Don't look ahead, just run to me
Each step will find the next one recklessly
We'll find ourselves on the safest ledge
Well pardon me, I couldn't help myself
Girl, fall into your life here
If only for a while, I'm here

Could you be happy to fall like a stone
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
It's fine, it's fine

You felt alone before you ever really knew how alone you were
An empty house, a lonely room
The TV talks the fear right out of you
But you feel like someone's standing by but you'll never know

Could you be happy to fall like a stone
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
It's fine

The sun burns a hole straight through your old flaws
If you look toward the sky even on your greyest night

Could you be happy now, with the wind in your hair
And your eyes open wide and your feet going nowhere?
Could you be happy to fall like a stone
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
It's fine 


I read that Aaron Marsh really wanted to be a little bit more...vague with his lyrics on this album (and also on Eat, Sleep, Repeat as well). Which I like...it allows each listener to really be able to "own" each song. 
I'm happy to be where I am, and I hope you are too.


Anyway, I've been tearing through Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series...letting my inner geek rejoice in some nice fantasy reading...which is not my usual preferred genre. And by tearing through, I mean I'm almost done with book 2. But I've managed to knock it out in about 2 week. I've picked up a book recommended to by a friend to blog about on here, but I'm currently a little devoted to this series. So Alex, if you're reading, I'll get to your book pick eventually! Promise!


It is officially summer in Texas according to me. When you break out in a sweat just by walking out your front door at 8 am, it's time to consider a summer house in Alaska. Or maybe sleeping in one of those big freezers people keep in their garages.


Nate and I finally signed up for Netflix (the one good use for his XBox as far as I'm concerned...) and have become hooked on Dexter. I think we're about halfway through Season 1. I'm a big fan so far. I really like Dexter...even if he is a serial killer. Oh well. And True Blood started last night....loved the books, not as in love with the TV show. Sookie was much more likeable in the books. Nevertheless, Alan Ball has done a great job bringing the books to life. And Alexander Skarsgard does a great job looking gorgeous. So I'll watch. :)


Just checking in...it's always nice to babble to myself sense I'm probably the only one who reads this.


Goodnight self,
Bran

  2. It's a bit unsettling how normal he really is. Steady job, girlfriend...he could be anyone.
