Said The Whale’s “Better for You”

By Justin | February 2, 2009

This song is really good, and also seemed poignant after my earlier post. I cannot fulfill your heart tonight I love the way you sleep when you’re angry The way the moon reflects such a beautiful light I’ve got my thoughts wrapped up in you I’ve got my head all messed up with you So, [...]

Said The Whale’s “Last Tree Standing”

My horizon, jet black mountain, you’re crumbling into the sea And little city, you’re still so young, but you got so dirty Hey, old ocean, are you still holding on? You look so sad and empty Fires burning, forests falling, for evergreen, forever [...]

Said the Whale’s “Curse of the Currents”

By Justin | October 5, 2008

This song has no immediate relevancy to what’s going on in my life right now, but it’s so striking that I wanted to make sure I had it around for the future. Just fifteen miles from shore I lost the love that I had Slipped and fell into the cold Of the deep and the [...]
