and to move a little from radiohead...

...which have been taking too much space both in the music section of this blog and in my mp3 player. well, radiohead is never too much, but still, we (read "i") need to listen to other things as well. and a friend has just helped me getting something really nice named "one cell in the sea", the debut album of alison sudol, a.k.a. a fine frenzy (mentioned here and here before). is it just me, or the following lyrics are really something? (check her myspace page to listen the song)

help me out, said the minnow to the trout,
i was lost and found myself swimming in your mouth.
help me, chief,
i've got to plans for you and me.
i swear upon this riverbed
i'll help you feel young again.

not your every day circumstance,
hummingbird taking coffee with the ants.
and i said,

please, i know that we're different.
but we were one cell in the sea in the beginning.
and what we're made of was all the same once,
we're not that different after all.

help me out, said the eagle to the dove.
i've fallen from my nest so high above.
help me fly,
i am too afraid to try.
now saddled with a fear of heights,
i'm praying you can set me right.

not your everyday circumstance,
elephant sharing peanuts with the rats.
and i said,

please, i know that we're different.
we were one cell in the sea in the beginning.
and what we're made of was all the same once,
we're not that different after all.

we are tied in history,
connected like a family.

please, i know that we're different.
we were one cell in the sea in the beginning.
and what we're made of was all the same once,
all the same,
we're not that different after all.
