Hiding my Heart

You know that feeling? Where you can't love a song because its like the person crawled inside your head, stole stuff, and put music to it? I feel that way about this song.

Brandi Carlile. Hiding my heart.

Its not like that Jason Mraz song where I loved it because I "saw the video" ---> It was on So you think You can Dance. <---

Its... Ah, I can't love it. Because I adore it.

Here are the lyrics:

So this is how the story went
I met someone by accident
That blew me away
That blew me away

It was in the darkest of my days
When you took my sorrow and you took my pain
And buried them away, you buried them away



And I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You'll disappear one day
So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away


You dropped me off at the train station
Put a kiss on top of my head
You watched me wave
Watched me wave
Then you went on home to your skyscrapers
Neon lights and waiting papers
That you call home
You call it home



And I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You'll disappear one day
So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away


I woke up feeling heavy hearted
I'm going back to where I started
The morning rain
The morning rain
And although I wish that you were near
That same old road that brought me here
Is calling me home
Is calling me home


And I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You'll disappear someday
So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away
And I can't spend my whole life hiding my heart away

Adele does her own version as well. 

Does Brandi Carlisle's voice sound familiar at all?? South Africans --> It was used in the tracker advert where the woman ages backwards. To all the other awesome people (From Hungary, Nederlands and other super awesome exotic locations) Her other song, "The Story" was used in Grey's Anatomy Season 3 and Callie sang it as the finale in the musical episode, season 7.


Anywhoo, just popping in to share the awesomeness that is Brandi Carlile. Quick facts before I  disappear.

The Beautiful Brandi is 29 years old (Turns the big 3-0 on the first of June) she plays the Banjo (as well as guitar and piano. Less exotic but still awesome). At 16 she sang backup for an Elvis impersonator.

She dropped out of School because she has ADD.She named her horse after her guitar. She lives in Washington State (The rainy place Twilight and Grey's Anatomy are both set in.)


Okay, I need to study. Exams in two weeks, oh, no, in one week.


Wish me luck.
Wens me Geluk 
Kívánnak szerncsét
मुझे शुभकामनाएँ
me souhaiter bonne chance
wünscht mir Glück


Bye for now...
