    'Even the Darkness Has Arms' takes its cues from the old "talking' blues" style of songwriting, but with a more personal subject . The lyrics are fast, the tempo is brisk, it stays light on its feet. If you ever woke up in a bed without somebody, and you didn't know the bed or the room or the city, this song might be for you.

    I was holding my breath when the tightrope walker slipped into the moon glow
    Saying all my children, follow me
    Maybe it's time to go
    You can be chrome when you're wise
    You can be wise when you're blue
    And baby, if I have
    Then I have for you
    Bribing the jury to keep me in jail, singing "Tea for the Tillerman"
    And although I lie fantastically, I swore an oath on my history
    It's a miracle I can see
    You can be wrong when you're right
    Even when you're right on cue
    And if I die tonight
    Then I die for you
    Calling on those that call me son
    Great-grandson and grandson
    Great uncles, aunts, and relatives
    To judge what I have done
    Wanna make it right by you
    Even if it's all I do
    And if it's all I do
    Then I do it for you
    People will raise a whole lotta hell about the water in the windmill
    And although I stab chaotically
    It hurts no one but me
    Even the darkness has arms
    But they ain't got you
    And baby, I have it
    And I have you, too
    And a light in the window to pass the night through
    May be so uncertain but what can I do
    Keeping it on, keeping it on
    And I know I like it but what does that prove
    Sometimes I worry I don't know how to love you
    I bring to you with reverent hands
    All the books that my love abides
    The kind woman that my passion wore
    Like the shoreline wears the tides
    Maybe the water went dry
    Keeping an eye on you
    And with an eye on you
    It could drown me, too
    People will raise a whole lotta hell about the water in the windmill
    And although I stab chaotically
    I swore an oath on my history
    It's a miracle I can see
    Even the darkness has arms
    But they ain't got you
    And baby, I have it
    And I have you, too
    And a light in the window to pass the night through
    May be so uncertain but what can I do
    Keeping it on, keeping it on
    And I know I like it but what does that prove
    Sometimes I worry I don't know how to love you

    Incredibly talented. I'm not going to lie... at first I thought Trey was the vocals but The Barr Brothers are actually really unique once I kept listening. Wish you guys the best and hope that there's a lot more to come.

    It is my first time listening to their songs.
    I've even googled their bio because I love the sensiblity of the songs.It is quite different from the other genres that I've used to listened. And I love to play their songs when I'm about to sleep.

  • @philg2613
    @philg2613 Před 9 lety +2

    Clear influences cited above, Simon, Knopfler, and I'll add Cat Stevens since they drop references to him in a number of their songs including this, and I definitely hear some upper register Cat in the lead vocal. Maybe when he gets some years behind him, umpteen cartons of Camels, and just keeps working on it, the lead vocal will acquire the Cat's lower register growl/purr. Can't fairly say if they have melodies quite as memorable as from those cited because I haven't listened to their whole repertoire.

    I was holding my breath,
    When the tightrope walker,
    Slipped into the moonglow,
    Saying all my children follow me,
    Maybe it’s time to go.
    You can be chrome when you’re wise,
    Can be wise when you’re blue,
    And baby if I have,
    Then I have for you .
    Bribing the jury to keep me in jail,
    Singing tea for the Tillerman,
    And although I lie fantastically,
    I swore an oath on my history,
    It’s a miracle I can see.
    You can be wrong when you’re right,
    Even when you’re right on cue,
    And if I die tonight,
    Then I die for you.
    Calling on those that call me son,
    Great-grandson or grandson,
    Great uncles, aunts and relatives,

    Even if it’s all I do,
    And if it’s all I do, then I do for you.

    About the water and the windmill,
    And although I stab chaotically,
    It hurts no one but me,
    Even the darkness has arms,
    But it ain’t got you,
    Baby I have it and I have you too.
    And a light in the window,
    To pass the night through,
    May be so uncertain but what can I do,
    Keepin’ it on, keepin’ it on,
    And I know I like it but,
    What does that prove?
    Sometimes I worry I don’t know,
    How to love you.
