holly miranda | Hugo Gameiro

Some years ago a friend point offer me a CD of Holly Miranda. But only last week it hit me! WOW! The Magician’s Private Library is absolutely beautiful, filled with pearls and rubies. Probably the most obvious track is Slow Burn Treason but the full album has so many other great tracks and I can loop it, over and over again. Ms.Miranda, respect!

Holly Miranda – Slow Burn Treason

Wake up and you’re next to nothing
But the weight of the world is on your side
Most days you don’t even notice
But that’s a lie

All you want is her eyes on you
All you need is one hand deep inside
Outside the wind she’s screaming
The windows shake and you cry

But who’s gonna feel you
And who’s gonna need you

And in between there’s always someone
They don’t get you but you reach and smile
And maybe this slow burn treason
Is better than the crash of a quick rise

So brave the cold and close your mouth
I’ll bite your tongue if you’ll bite mine
Yeah lay your head on my legs babe
Everything is fine except the time

But who’s gonna feel you
And who’s gonna need you
Who’s gonna feel you
Who’s gonna need you
Who’s gonna want you
Who’s gonna hold you
Who’s gonna love you
Who’s gonna tease you
Who

Wake up and you’re next to nothing
But the weight of the world is on your side
And most days you don’t even notice
But that’s a lie

This beautiful dark lullaby has been spinning inside my head all week.

Holly Miranda – Everytime I Go To Sleep

Every time I go to sleep I kick and scream and dream a little bit
Violently awakening to what’s real is really bullshit
Every time I go to sleep I kick and scream and dream a little bit
Violently awakening to what’s real is really bullshit
And there’s no light for me

All this space, we stretch to bend to pull
To keep our face on the other side of the world
And there’s no going back
And there’s only change
Uh huh

All my life has been on the edge of falling down
One cool night, they’re gonna put my heart in the ground
And there’s no going back
And there’s only change
Uh huh
