This right here is really one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life. I've been a big fan of Ben Howard since I discovered him just about half a year ago and it took me this long to discover this masterpiece. It's quite a shame it can only be found here and not on spotify
The moment when, you are as close to the sun as one can get, right before your wings erupt in tragic glorious fires, before the fall, while still reaching out, movement and time stop and expand infinitely, you remember where you came from, and the love of all creation is yours to behold, right before you fall back toward a bed of rock and clay, which you tried so long so hard to leave behind. That's place the creation takes me.
" Lie here till your world stops spinning round Lie near me till the birds start singing out Come, show what it is to be warm Be my shelter and I'll be your storm. Come, lie down till the four winds cease to blow Lie here full of rivers that you know. And I'll make your bones shake, the sweat we take off hearts still battered and worn. Be my shelter and I'll be your storm. And we'll show the fire, Yeah, we'll show the fire how to burn. Yeah, we'll show the fire, We'll show the fire how to burn. [repeat] I don't know, I don't know where you came from, But God's been smiling. I don't know, I don't know where the rain's gone But it's been a while, been a while now. "
