One Song

If I could only liste to one song, it would have to be something that isn't my favorite. If I listen to my favorite song over and over again, I know I'd get sick of it. I know I'm probably wrong by making this decision, but the first song that came to my mind was "Yes, Yes, We Are Magicians" by the Crookes. I don't know. I mean, it's not my most favored song ever, but it's still really good, and it's not too jumpy, not too somnolent. Give it a listen.

Here are the lyrics:

Yes, my love, oh we, are magicians
you and I
And soon, you'll see, that the cloud shapes in our eyes are blind,
but fly, forever just the same

Oh you -- you've been sleeping in the rough
A traveling man took you by the hand
And still I wonder
Why dear -- you've a pocket full of snuff
A meek and mild rag-time child who sometimes wonders

Why the crowds all stare,
Mrs Porter's crying "Keep that kid away from my bear"
I've got 10 bob on that on and I'll not be having no mad-arsed kid do me wrong
And suddenly the curtain falls

Oh it -- it may well hap' to be
That there's magic wed in ragged threads
That you sleep under

To find -- there's comfort in the melody
Too mild and meek for rag-time chic
And still I wonder

Why the crowds all stare,
Mrs Porter's crying "Keep that kid away from my bear"
I've got 10 bob on that on and I'll not be having no mad-arsed kid do me wrong
And suddenly the curtain falls

Mary was a poor girl
Turned alabaster call girl With bruised and pale pins
Mary's still a poor girl
So through these gutters crawl, girl
Your secret's sleeping in

And the crowds'll stop and stare
Mrs Porter's crying "Keep that kid away from my bear"
I've got 10 bob on that on and I'll not be having no mad-arsed kid do me wrong
And suddenly the curtain falls

It's a lovely song to listen to. I honestly really like it, and if you've noticed, my blog title is named after the song: "We Are Magicians"

I know some people may be disappointed that my one song isn't the Beatles, but hey, there are just so many good Beatles songs that my brain might explode trying to pick one. My love for the Beatles is everlasting, and just because I don't choose their song for my one song, doesn't mean I love them any less.

We Are Magicians is a good song, and I have no regrets!
