    Stretch Your Eyes Lyrics:
    The dark and the ghost
    They dance so sweet and slow
    Dug-out from below there
    to damn the gods
    A grip that will hold
    So tight and close
    Around my throat with
    the weight of all our lives
    You can give to my heart
    Thousand words or more
    You can give to my heart
    Thousand words or more
    The drum you stroke
    Damn that beat so old
    In the ground it grows there
    To damn the sun (oh what will come to life)
    Gates of gold
    In your head you hold
    A kingdom molten
    May the gods be on your side
    You can give to my heart
    Thousand words or more
    You can give to my heart
    Thousand words or more

    is there a grammy category for "most underrated artist"?

    • @catya1583
      @catya1583 Před 7 lety +32

      Maybe she is still a little underrated, but now she is more popular than 4 years ago. Those who are searching for real music finally will find her :-)

      The problem is winning such a category automatically invalidates your consideration.

    True story: I saw her live a few weeks ago. I was just standing there absorbing all of these violins and crescendos and her voice, her voice literally hypnotized me. My palms started getting sweaty. I kept looking for the bathroom sign because I thought I was going to pass out. I didn't understand why I was feeling that way in the moment. I had food in my stomach. Didn't even drink alcohol. It was simply her music. Her music is that powerful.

    So tight and close

    In the ground it grows there
    To damn the sun (oh what will come to life)
    Gates of gold
    In your head you hold
    A kingdom molten

    Music most of the time distracts me while reading so I've never been able to follow the plot or analysis of any work accompanied with music until now. I'm in awe, its almost like this song and her music in general sets the tone of any novel I've read for the past month. Her music is inspiring in so many ways.

    Your new album definitely sets a different tone, and I must admit I've been quite sceptic, but from the released tracks so far this one is by far my favourite. If the rest is just as great, then I'm all onboard your new album.

    The dark and the ghost
    They dance so sweet and slow
    Dug-out from below there
    To damn the gods
    A grip that will hold
    So tight and close
    Around my throat with
    The weight of all our lives
    You can give to my heart
    Thousand words or more
    You can give to my heart
    Thousand words or more
    The drum you stroke
    Damn that beat so old
    In the ground it grows there
    To damn the sun (oh what will come to life)
    Gates of gold
    In your head you hold
    A kingdom molten
    May the gods be on your side
    You can give to my heart
    Thousand words or more
    You can give to my heart
    Thousand words or more
