Please Destroy Me
Filed Under Album Picks | Leave a Comment
The piano, Devendra’s voice, and with lyrics like, “I wanna see you be the one whose first light/Harbors in the new day/and see you settle into yourself/and never be afraid”. This is one of my top five favorite songs of all time.
Watch the stream run by you
Watch the Indian chief, wrapped in blue corn leaves drift by you
Watch it take root in the sun’s pond, and rise at the fire
Oh, no more being matchwood
Only rising higherI wanna see you be the one whose first light
Harbors in the new day
and see you settle into yourself
and never be afraidNow I take everything as a good sign, because I’m in love
I take everything as a sign, from GodAnd now I give myself to you alone
No more nights hang above me
Oh, B…Please destroy me, please destroy me, please destroy me, please destroy me yeah
