I know the answer to this question: one of the only indie bands I've ever loved disbanded years ago to form other groups that I'm not so crazy about. The lead singer had a clear, soft voice and the accompanying percussion was easy to listen to. Anyhow, in college I was particularly fond of a song from Madison Greene that I don't know the title to. The lyrics are almost incomprehensible but I've typed them up as I hear them here just for fun:
And this could be my hardest break
A little time, a little cold
I see you in the landscape of my heart
And maybe there where the mirror breaks
Life could have more reflection
Would I feel so many worlds away?
And could we laugh some time?
There are no changes today
(Maybe there are reasons today we don’t laugh)
And there are no changes today
And practice works for quite a while
Maybe I could find it out
Find it out when I step out of time
And someone said you died for me
You took a dive, years ago
And I want to believe that its not just a fairytale
And could we talk some time?
There are no changes today
(Maybe there are reasons we find we don’t talk)
And there are no changes today
This could be the kindest word
Anyone has ever heard
And its all, its all just a season away
Or this could be the longest wait
Maybe all eternity
If I, if I can stand
If I can stand
There are no seeds in the ground
Maybe if we talked a while then
Maybe if we laughed a while
If I, if I can stand
If I can stand
If you are a fan of the band, know the name of this song, or can add a correction to my lyrics, please leave a comment. I always thought this song was, for all its vagueness, a good portrayal of the expectations, doubts, and hopes of the journey towards Jesus, that God-man who often seems ragged, wild, and motioning for us to turn (to quote O'Connor yet again).
