SOTD – Au Revoir Simone “Don’t See the Sorrow”

May 23rd, 2010

Sometimes when I am driving I learn to love songs better than I do when listening to them any other time. Something about listening to them on headphones, for one thing, really makes the lyrics more clear, or the music somehow more compelling. This song is rather easy to disregard as background, but then I stopped to really listen to it, and it’s sweet and sad. And sweet and sad fits my mood, as it so happens. And so here it is.

(Not the official video, but the best way to post the actual song now that lala is going belly-up :-/)

Au Revoir Simone “Don’t See the Sorrow”

Don’t see the sorrow
Don’t let it creep up through your skin
‘Cause I read somewhere
What you like, you’ll find again
You’ll find it again

I’m on the edge
Of not wanting to feel this way
anymore
I will still try to learn my lessons
There’s no mistakes anyway
I know that

So you
Why won’t you make room
Some room for me?
You
Why won’t you make room
Some room

I see myself in you
I seem to know my own death too
But here on a day this clear
It’s as good a day
To begin
To begin

So you
Why won’t you make room
Some room for me?
You
Why won’t you make room
Some room for me?
You
Why won’t you make room
Some room for me?
You
Why won’t you make room
Some room
