lyrics

With all the passersby so silent
It startles when you hear the sound
Of a line cast in the chaos
That proves that there’s life left there in the crowd

Speak to me with all of the blood and rhythm of a human heartbeat
I want to hear the rush of life through every melody
From your thoughts in the hills out through your mouth to me

There must be a thousand ways to hear the truth
But when it’s in your voice it means the most
And when you look in my eyes I start to tremble
Just like I have seen the face of my own ghost

So speak to me with all of the blood and rhythm of a human heartbeat
I want to hear the rush of life through every melody
From your thoughts in the hills out through your mouth to me

Your life paints every word so your words mean everything
Every soul you’ve ever known, every place you’ve ever been
All the things that you once were, everything you’ll ever be
So don’t stop speaking

Speak to me with all of the blood and rhythm of a human heartbeat
So speak to me with all of the blood and rhythm of a human heartbeat
I want to hear the rush of life through every melody
From your thoughts in the hills out through your mouth to me
From your thoughts in the hills out through your mouth to me

about

Luke James Williams England, UK

Light and dark, ugly and beautiful, happy and sad, fearful and brave, the music of singer songwriter Luke James Williams reflects the opposing forces and wonderful chaos of the world around us. Combining the raw power of PJ Harvey with the delicate sensitivity of Sufjan Stevens, Williams paints pictures with words and sings them in his own distinctly British voice. ... more

Unbound speaks healing words, but the music feels like healing, very special and moving but so simple. Just a guitar and a piano. I'm sure the glitter and ambience she put in the vinyl helps! <3 shadyneutron
