All I Want To Give
Filed Under Album Picks
Short but sweet tonight. I am currently listening and loving Thao & Mirah, this is their first collaboration and it is filled with a TON of energy. Busy rhythms and fantastic folk-rock harmonies, the two together are an impressive marriage of sounds. Really well done.
Local Los Angelenos, Thao & Mirah will be at the Troubadour this Sunday (5/1/2011)
Thao & Mirah 2011 (Kill Rock Stars)
and you said you knew
how you were gonna take it
that you’d take it all
that you knew my heart was not that small
and how could we ever manage
carts and horses could never carryall I want to give
not give enough
I want to give
not give you loveI chose the strangest little cup
to drink you from and stir you up
and you were beautiful it’s true
and all I ever wanted was
to be good to youand when you see me cry
you ask me, but I think that
you already know why
I’m staring up at the skyand you said you understood
but promises are not that good
in this improper marriage
love and justice found miscarriage
at the only embassy
with an office for… (need remaining lyrics)and when you see me cry
you ask me, but I think that
you already know why
I’m staring up at the sky

Busy rhythms. Perfect. In love.
Total love. I think they really balance one another nicely.
