Promise -Ben Howard

Promise -Ben Howard

And meet me there, with bundles of flowers,

We’ll wade through the hours of cold

Winter she’ll howl at the walls,

Tearing down doors of time.

Shelter as we go…

And promise me this:

You’ll wait for me only,

Scared of the lonely arms

That surface, far below these birds

And maybe, just maybe I’ll come home

Who am I, darling to you?

Who am I,

To tell you stories of mine

Who am I?

Who am I, darling for you?

Who am I

To be your burden in time, lonely

Who am I, to you?

Who am I, darling for you?

Who am I

To be your burden

Who am I, darling to you?

Who am I?

I come alone here

I come alone here

(be patient the intro is very soft and subtle)

Ben Howard – Promise Lyrics

Copied from MetroLyrics.com (http://goo.gl/LpNNv)

I heard this on House MD a while ago. Enjoy the flowers around my house. Not as impressive as Rajini Rao so I cheated and added my wife’s orchids and African violet from indoors.

Before there was Pop Idol and American Idol there was the Eurovision Song Contest.

Before there was Pop Idol and American Idol there was the Eurovision Song Contest.

Poupée de cire, poupée de son was the winning song for Luxembourg by French singer France Gall, then a teenager.

The lyrics have a lot of double meanings. Poupée de cire, poupée de son can be translated as wax doll, sawdust doll. Mindless, boneless. There’s irony in the implications about being a puppet as France Gall was just a teenager.

Here’s the Wiki

Sorry Jerry Kilimnik I don’t have a link to the dubstep version. Misha Belle I’ll update if I find a cool remix, but I like the original as-is.
