"soft offering (for the oft suffering)"

the long knife of the sun rising

up the horizon and into our tired eyes

the spell of night is struck down

our second sight is bleeding out

anna, can i come and walk you home?

i'm not gonna wanna be alone

beaten up when the sunlight comes

bullied & cut by the clock on the wall

take the morning and the chlorinous light

you can have the afternoon, bury the evening too

give me gathering calm of the night

when the day is done and the rest is coming on

under the pitch and the pull of the moon

sweet silver medicine swim in my temples and

bring in the shadows to cover our flaws

when the pain is gone, and the rest is coming on

you belong out of that uniform

out in the streets when everyone else is asleep

see the way the body sways

in empty air when there's nobody there, and you don't even care if there is

anna can i be to you like that?

cover your shame with a shield of black

cover your body with my trembling hands

have you dancing while i hold them back

hold back the morning and her chlorinous light

have at the afternoon, bury the evening too

let's have the gathering calm of the night

when the day is done and the rest is coming on

under the pitch and the pull of the moon

sweet silver medicine swim in my temples

bring in the shadows to cover our wounds

when the pain is gone and the rest is coming on

You guys represent the beauty and serenity of NFLD. This music has so much depth and complexity it's unreal. A world class band you guys have become. I'm so proud to be a Newfoundlander after hearing this amazing sound!!Keep it up guys, spread the sound :)

Song of the Day

Hey Rosetta! is a seven-piece indie rock outfit from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. The band creates an expansive, layered sound by incorporating piano and strings into a traditional rock setup. Their new album, Second Sight, was produced by Marcus Paquin [The National, Stars, Local Natives, Arcade Fire], and will be released in the US January 27th on Sonic Records. Today's Song of the Day is their new single, "Soft Offering", a buoyant, percussion-driven anthem that recalls Arcade Fire.

The Best of 2014! One of the best rock albums of 2014 that you probably never heard!(Mainly because they are out of Newfoundland Canada and not New York or Hollywood, etc, etc.)Hey Rosetta - Second Sight
