"Lille" He went to sea for the day He wanted to know what to say When he's asked what he'd done In the past to someone That he loves endlessly Now she's gone, so is he I went to war every morning I lost my way but now I'm following What you said in my arms What I read in the charms That I love durably Now it's dead and gone and I am free I went to sleep for the daytime I shut my eyes to the sunshine Turned my head away from the noise Bruise and drip decay of childish toys That I loved arguably All our labouring gone to seed Went out to play for the evening We wanted to hold onto the feeling On the stretch in the sun And our breathlessness as we run To the beach endlessly As the sun creeps up on the sea LISA HANNIGAN Lyrics "Sea Sew" (2008)
A remarkably intimate feel to this rendition. And I worried that you would run out of breath on the sustained notes. You never faltered. What strength is such a sweet delicate song, in such a sweet delicate woman.
I love to hear this song again and again....what a most stunning and amazing voice Lisa Hannigan has. Her development as an artist till then is most impressive. Love from Austria
Saw Lisa in Birmingham. Took my son along who had not heard of her. He became an instant fan. Best gig he had ever been to, he said. He then borrowed my Sea Sew album and is reluctant to return it. fabulous night,thanks. Trying to work out the chords. looks like capo at 6th played in Fsharp. Thanks Lisa. Wonderful.
What a wonderful artist. I like these high-quality acoustic vids (like the ones in the pub) better than any over-produced vids that feel they have to be clever. Lisa was my favorite artist of 2009; now if only she played a Weeping Zee Guitar...
