Good Harbor This is such a satisfying mix of the old and the new; I've been listening for days. The slide guitar and the singer's voice make the sound distinctive. Favorite track: Blind Letters.

Bird of Prey 03:39
Lyrics: The devil is a country where no one knows your name A nation filled with pride where guns fence the rich land They call me the angel, i hold death and peace in one hand I see our bird of prey heading down with each passing day Don’t circle away from me, don’t circle away I remember my childhood, the night they crucified the sun The moon was weeping at it’s feet, implored me never to run I was too young then but i gave my word to the widow of the sky Now that i’m old enough to die, cover my body in flowers and let them know my name Don’t circle away from me, don’t circle away

Lyrics: What is it worth to hold the key to a kingdom? i only got 2 hands and one’s for holding peace I love passion and flames, not day to day lame You’re my city inside but i am guilty of burning bridges I’m Burning bridges between you and i I sometimes lie and smile to keep your heart close by I also tried and changed but only so much at a time Cause i only got 2 hands and i can’t stand being a peaceful man But this i’ll never say, the walls of the city can’t be trusted I’m burning bridges between you and i I am just a beast that marvels on keys I can’t live in this city it’s much too crowded and i can’t breath I want to be out of reach you know, i love you baby but i just can’t show You’re my city inside but i won’t stop the fire

Lyrics: Oh won’t you just take it back? Cause it’s too soon to tell the world Aren’t you scared? I mean i could hurt you And i know you know i’ve hurted others before Wait, wait, wait Can’t you wait? Leave, leave, leave i should leave My skin is thick from all that i remember And i tell the world keep your hands to yourself Are you deaf, dumb or what? I could never love again Cause this heart of mine has been broken once too many a time Wait, wait, wait Can’t you wait? Leave, leave, leave i should leave Don’t you ever think it’s over before it is You started this love mess and now you’re stuck with my heart Aren’t the wise kind of girl, now the whole world sees i’m blown apart And this heart of mine will never forgive you You better make it worth Wait, wait, wait Can’t you wait?

Lyrics: I have written a number of blind letters I wrote them all in different languages for you to find I’ve been stamping and sending my love for now 26 years I feel i’m forever 26 I hope you won’t think i’m crazy but if you do just don’t say it blinded by your hopes in search of love And i’m deaf, illeterate anyway After years of broken pen and inked sheets When you finally find a pair of eyes that won’t shy Away from your love don’t you stop writing then Don’t you ever stop writing boys ! I hope you won’t think i’m crazy but if you do just don’t say it blinded by your hopes in search of love And i’m deaf, illeterate anyway When you write your first letter my son just remember To choose your words carefully cause sometimes you only need one To make her find you through the noise and the billboards Through all the other boys I hope you won’t think i’m crazy but if you do just don’t say it blinded by your hopes in search of love And i’m deaf, illeterate anyway

Lyrics: you’re loving a woman, she don’t want to be with you what you gonna do boy, what you gonna do? You can’t fall asleep on the cold hard floor You’re used to drapping yourself in the warmth of her skin But still you love every single moment even the cold hard swollen parts If it’s her that gives, then it’s you that takes Cause you’re loving a woman, she don’t want to be with you what you gonna do boy, what you gonna do? I said! How can you do it? How can you do it James? The name is Bond, james bond You’ve been betrayed by the so many And the others tried to kill you in vain You find it hard to smile lately, you find it hard to breath You know it just, you know it just, you know it just won’t come easy Cause you’re loving a woman, she don’t want to be with you what you gonna do boy, what you gonna do? I said!

Lost Bullet 06:08
Lyrics: i Spent so many years wasting my breath now i’m damn near out of air i Spent so many years wasting my breath speaking to someone who just couldn’t hear we’re all born dirty but can’t always find an angel who’s love could cleanse your doubts we’re all born dirty but can’t always find a love so strong it doesn’t fear losing it’s angel oh lord won’t you get down here and help... me i hate the devil but i distrust you at best i speak for the people who died in their rest i hate the devil but i distrust you at best rest in peace all those who live without carrying your cross oh lord won’t you get down here and help... me now i pray for the last time as blood trickles down couldn’t you even hear it’s sound? lost bullet, lost and found now i pray for the last time as blood trickles down tell my mother that there’s more to life than losing it’s angel oh lord won’t you get down here and help... me

Lyrics: Draw your dreams under my feet so i may walk within them paint your skin over mine and colour me til morning’s end i woke up into the night to start the day’s first fire you can’t wiat all your life for the sun to come illuminate your face but with light comes shadows and all you need to hide don’t let your darkness deep inside and draw yourself alive

Lyrics: you’re in the streets of life like it or not it’s all you’ve got you can wonder or worry, fear or care but sooner or later you’ll be out of there who cares what you wanted to do, who you’ve wanted to become cause all that matters in the long run is what you’ve done seems like the world is filled with preachers and actor’s sons all singing together : what a wonderful world and i say : Love all those motherfuckers Cheat on your loved ones, but don’t you get caught Say thank you when you steal, always be nice So thank you all for coming tonight So when you’re in the streets of life trying to figure out north from south and wrong from right don’t you listen to that feeling in your bones life’s a dead end and then you’re gone there’s other songs if you want to hold on to life everybody’s got a theory about what you’re doing wrong i say it’s your genes from your mother’s side son, they’re not that strong now the only certainty in life, if you want to quote me on something here tonight is the beatles are better than the rolling stones! And i say : Love all those motherfuckers Cheat on your loved ones, but don’t you get caught Say thank you when you steal, always be nice So thank you all for coming tonight
