You know those songs that do more then just make you happy, but actually move you? They're few and far between, but they're there, and anyone who's ever heard one can attest to their power. I've found another one.
I'm going to a different Rufus Wainwright concert because I got better seats for it; its the night after the one I originally was scheduled to go to. I'm sacrificing seeing OKGo, which really bums me out. But on the other hand, I get to see this beautiful, wonderful girl named Regina Spektor. She sings the song which I was alluding to up at the beginning. It's called Sampson, and....there's really nothing I can say. Her and Rufus both are sources of some of the most inspirational music in my life. For shits and giggles, I've provided the lyrics.
You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first, I loved you first Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth I have to go, I have to go Your hair was long when we first met
Samson went back to bed Not much hair left on his head He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us The bible didn't mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall I loved you first , I loved you first Beneath the stars came falling on our heads But there just soft light, there just soft light Your hair was long when we first met
Samson came to my bed Told me that my hair was red He told me i was beautiful and came into my bed Oh I cut his hair myself one night A pair of dull scissors and the yellow light And he told me that I'd done alright and kissed me till the morning light, the morning light and he kissed me till the morning light
Samson came back to bed not much hair left on his head Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one And history books forgot about us And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
