Thrupence - This House Is Full Of Water

http://youtu.be/qiO3WZRkqXQ

let's just leave
we can go anywhere
we can disappear
hit the road
don't look back
oh i trust you dear
though i'm not sure yet why
let's run far from here
before dawn hits let's drive

endlessly roaming we'll glow
the evening light will sculpt us wild and restless
we tread salt crystals and snow
a life ignited, give yourself to adventure 
endlessly roaming we'll know
the evening light will shade the desert sky scarlet
swirl satin, stardust and smoke
a life ignited, give yourself to adventure

fingers trace
hearts on frost covered glass
under lofty stars
freezing cold in your car
distant moon dappled silver
trembling quiet on your skin
i could stay like this forever
take what little i can give

tears will fill our eyes, 
our sun kissed cheeks will sting
high through the sound of bird song
the rushing sound of water
the pine cathedral forest
crystal clear, the mountains
mirror some slow magic
i feel new, and spellbound

LYRICS
Spinning round 
Neat pirouettes 
Eyes lock on the constant 
Til I forget...


Hold it.
Deep breath 
In and out until there’s nothing left

Did I just drink poison? 
Is this a trick ? 
Is your hand on the trigger 
Is this it? 

Slowing down 
I placed my bets
Thought I lost it  
well, I forget.. 

Hold it.
Deep breath 
In and out til there's nothing left. 

Did I just drink poison? 
Is this a trick 
Is your hand on the trigger 
Is this it? 


Out of sight. 
Look what I made  
I thought about it 
Put it away.. 

Locked in. 
Deep breath 
No excuses, got nothing left. 

Did I just drink poison? 
Is this a trick?
My hand’s on the trigger 
This is it.  

Did I just drink poison? 
No more tricks
My hand’s on the trigger 
This is it.

Poison

/////////////////////

you work so hard you give me everything i wanted and more.
you sacrifice all the people i would hold at the door.
when you walk you wave your hands, you wander to the places i go.
feels so right to me, i fell asleep in your arms, too.

this cannot happen / this cannot wait in my heart,
this cannot happen / this cannot be where i was.

i won't turn this off, you're in my head

SLOW SPIRAL
I believe we are bent in light
and I feel now
We'll never get out
So close your eyes
To the cold
It will take us
Nowhere at all
Nowhere at all

You forget
We have lost too much
And if we sleep
We'll never wake up
So find your mark
Set your sight
I will be with you
In the dark
In the dark

On their second album Broken Devotion, Portland-based duo Mint Julep instill their lush and gauzy, synth-centric brand of pop music with a raw and powerful emotionalism. The follow-up to their 2011 debut Save Your Season (praised as “melodically sophisticated and dreamy” by the NME), Broken Devotion came to life over the course of four years, with Mint Julep reaching a new level of lyrical precision while easing into more lavishly textured, intricately layered arrangements. Throughout Broken Devotion, multi-instrumentalist/producer Keith Kenniff (also known for his work as ambient indie-electronic act Helios) and his wife Hollie Kenniff (Mint Julep’s vocalist and lyricist) explore the many bright and dark dimensions of love, a tension that’s masterfully embodied on the album’s title track. Urgent yet ethereal, “Broken Devotion” merges driving rhythms and hazy guitar tones as Hollie’s hypnotic vocal work achingly captures the unraveling of a romance (“There’s a ghost inside us/There are hands on your eyes/Spaces in between us/There are places we can’t hide”). Despite the moody atmosphere of the album, much of Broken Devotion was born from a certain lighthearted spirit within Mint Julep’s creative partnership. Lead single “White Hot Heart,” for instance, began as a playful experiment in retro electro-pop but eventually mutated into an airy and shimmering, synth-laced number that’s timeless in melody. Also featuring a gorgeously sprawling cover of When In Rome’s late-‘80s new-wave hit “The Promise,” Broken Devotion shifts from the frenetic energy of beat-driven tracks like “Incinerate” to the downtempo drama of songs like “Slow Spiral” with delicate grace. Forming Mint Julep in 2007, the Kenniffs originally had modest intentions for the band. “The project really just started out as a way to get my wife to sing, because I knew that she could but was kind of shy about it,” says Keith. Though the duo initially mined much influence from early-‘90s shoegaze, Mint Julep gradually shaped their sound by drawing inspiration from electronic music and from their shared affection for rough-edged music of varying genres (industrial for Hollie, punk rock for Keith). “It took us a while to suss out whether this was something we were just going to have fun with, or if we’d actually release our music,” Keith says. “But we ended up keeping at it, and now we’re at the point where we’ve created something with its own sound that’s very unique to us.” Noting that “it’s been great for Hollie and me to bond over making music, and to have that music feed into our relationship,” Keith points out that Mint Julep have found an even more enduring purpose in creating both Broken Devotion and its predecessor. “Writing music can be stressful, but there’s that joy that comes from creating something that you know you’ll have for a really long time,” he says. “We can finish an album and move on, and then go back years later and let the songs tell us what was happening then, what we were feeling. It’s a cool way to mark all these very specific moments in our lives together.”
