Norah Jones

Post by WeedGuru_Flow »

Well it should go in the music section, but I'm a mod now :p, nah I was just listening to one of her songs and decided to search up the lyrics and I was amazed by how well she's managed to put a certain feeling into a song.

Anyway, here are the lyrics, upon reading it they should clarify themselves :

"My Dear Country"

'Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out,
And everywhere they'd go, they shout,
And though I covered my eyes I knew,
They'd go away.

But fear's the only thing I saw,
And three days later 'twas clear to all,
That nothing is as scary as election day.

But the day after is darker,
And darker and darker it goes,
Who knows, maybe the plans will change,
Who knows, maybe he's not deranged.

The news men know what they know, but they,
Know even less than what they say,
And I don't know who I can trust,
For they come what may.

'cause we believed in our candidate,
But even more it's the one we hate,
I needed someone I could shake,
On election day.

But the day after is darker,
And deeper and deeper we go,
Who knows, maybe it's all a dream,
Who knows if I'll wake up and scream.

I love the things that you've given me,
I cherish you my dear country,
But sometimes I don't understand,
The way we play.

I love the things that you've given me,
And most of all that I am free,
To have a song that I can sing,
On election day.

I have no idea about who'se daughter she is.

And as you might realize it's a song about the US elections.

I was stoned listening to her song and it hit me that she was talking about the elections and how it all went wrong from there.

So yeah, i guess that's why I posted it :lol:
