Things To Come

[tealin]

I think I have to buy everything Yann Tiersen has ever written.

Hyel (and others) by their subtle hinting have convinced me to break up my Monstrous Regiment postings into pieces.* So, tomorrow I think, I'll put up what I've done so far,** and you can all see how much I haven't been drawing in the last few weeks. I think I'll save the ones that are going to be coloured till I colour them.

... maybe ...

I have decided that 'La noyee' is what Moist and Adora Belle dance to after the fire even though it is TOTALLY NON-CANON as it doesn't have a banjo in it. Too bad. That's what they dance to. Dang, I love that scene. I LOVE THAT BOOK WAAAAAAAH!

*They're impatient and I'm impatient... it all works out.
**Except the one which has a preliminary colour rendition that is still on my computer at work because I haven't sent it home yet. D'oh.

It played the ad and the CMT station ID but not the video ... :P

Yuk. Sorry about that. I never have luck with these things! :-S It worked fine on my computer but maybe it varies on different systems. Sometimes the ad plays first and then the video itself. I wish there were something else I could send you. I know on their website (www.nickelcreek.com) they do have clips of various songs, so maybe that would give you a kind of sample. I just likethe whole song since the third verse is particularly nice since it fits that part of the book (it is a guy trying to make his friend (a girl who is very tough and proud on the outside but mourning and sad on the inside) feel better after a tragedy, and it has a nice waltz to it) .. Chris Thiele's mandolin really sounds like a banjo here as well.

Here are the words anyway:

You´re tryin' on a brand new dress
But you haven't worn the old one yet
You've come too far to turn around now.
You're giving up the good fight when you´re as strong as anyone
You're just back where you started from

You're staring down the stars, jealous of the moon
You wish you could fly
But you're staying where you are there's nothing you can do...
if you're too scared to try.


You drag your pretty head around swearing you're gonna drown
with a beautiful sigh in a river of lies.

You're staring down the stars, jealous of the moon
You wish you could fly
But you're staying where you are there's nothing you can do...
if you're too scared to try.

Why don't you call me?
I could save you
Together we could a god we can pray to that will take you by the hand.

I hate to see a friend of mine
laughing out loud when she's crying inside
but you've got your pride. You've got your pride.

You're staring down the stars, jealous of the moon
You wish you could fly
But you're staying where you are there's nothing you can do...
if you're too scared to try.
