I recently "rediscovered" Edie Carey's 2004 album When I Was Made and remembered why I like her music so much. Her songs are really simple - in a good way - acoustic guitar, great lyrics, and very melodic. She's also a lot of fun to see live. This song isn't on When I Was Made, it's on her latest release Another Kind of Fire (2006), but it's one of my favorite songs by her. The opening line reminds me of summer and as summer is ending, and we shiver and sleep with windows open anyway, it seems an appropriate farewell.
This is a live, acoustic version of the song. Enjoy.
the night:
You fall asleep with the window open
You love to listen to the night
When a storm muscles in
Leaves you broken
You’re always surprised
Sometimes you wish
That your heart could be traded
For one that will not bruise
But what good is a heart gone jaded?
Sometimes only pain tells the truth
You want it two ways - are you in or out?
You want to see the beauty
But you can’t kill these doubts
These blue days are gonna show you
How to fly
New love reads unwritten pages
You press them cool against your skin
But the words you fill them with
Feel like cages
You want to start clean again
You want it two ways - are you in or out?
You want to see the beauty
But you can’t kill these doubts
These blue days are gonna show you
How to fly
You want it two ways - are you in or out?
You want to see the beauty
But you can’t kill these doubts
These blue days are gonna show you
How to fly
You fall asleep with the window open
You love to listen to the night
