Of Monsters And Men - Slow And Steady - [www Flvto Com]

My dear friend Marni Portman passed away last week at the age of 36 having lived with cancer for years. We knew this was coming and we spent precious time together. She was an inspiration and a truly beautiful person with a beautiful nature. I always turn to music in my most desperate times. Overwhelmed by this loss, I finished this song this morning and recorded it. The performance was affected because I cried all morning while I wrote it and recorded it.

Thunder

Who, who can outrun the thunder?
It's inescapable number overtakes me,
Who, against the volume of nature,
Dares a silent creator
To curse what they've been.

If I could bring you back here,
If I could revolve the Earth in reverse, dear.

Who, do I blame for your absence?
Do I blame for the balance, that took you from me?
Who, in this world full of wonder,
Takes the place of the hunter,
Mercilessly. 

If I could bring you back here,
If I could revolve the Earth in reverse, dear.

Oh, every moment is precious,
And every moment forgets us,
Somewhere downstream.

Oh, with my head to the grindstone, 
Reaping pain like a crop sewn, 
What does it mean?
If I can't bring you back here, 
If I can't revolve the Earth in reverse, dear.
