A song that makes me think of Brokeback Mountain

Anyway...
Broken Wings ~ Mr. Mister

Becky:
Me thinks it is time to hear from our old friends Snow Patrol again! I could really just put the whole album on here, but here are a few of my favourites.
"Set The Fire To The Third Bar"
(feat. Martha Wainwright)
I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from here to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places
I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science
Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold gound
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold gound
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
And miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold gound
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
"It's Beginning To Get To Me"
I want something
That's purer than the water
Like we were
It's not there now
Ineloquence and anger
Are all we have
Like Saturn's rings
An icy loop around me
Too hard to hold
Lash out first
At all the things we don't like
Or understand
And it's beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what's in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed
Are you beginning to get get my point
They're always fighting with aching joints
It's doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight's about
The answer phone
The lonely sound of your voice
Frozen in time
((it really should be: she answers the phone, the lonely sound of her voice, frozen in time))
I only need
The compass that you gave me
To guide me on
And it's beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what's in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed
Are you beginning to get get my point
They're always fighting with aching joints
It's doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight's about
It's so thrilling but also wrong
Don't have to prove that you are so strong
Cos I can carry you on my back
After our enemies attack
I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screaming under my breath
You are the only thing that makes sense
Just ignore all this present tense
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I'm gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I've lost
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I'm gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I've lost.
"Shut Your Eyes"
Shut your eyes and think of somewhere
Somewhere cold and caked in snow
By the fire we break the quiet
Learn to wear each other well
And when the worrying starts to hurt
and the world feels like graves of dirt
Just close your eyes until
you can imagine this place, you're our secret space at will
Shut your eyes, I spin the big chair
And you'll feel dizzy, light, and free
And falling gently on the cushion
You can come and sing to me
And when the worrying starts to hurt
and the world feels like graves of dirt
Just close your eyes until
you can imagine this place, you're our secret space at will
Shut your eyes
Shut your eyes
Shut your eyes
Shut your eyes
Shut your eyes and sing to me (Shut your eyes and sing to me)
Shut your eyes and sing to me (Shut your eyes and sing to me)
Shut your eyes and sing to me (Shut your eyes and sing to me)
Shut your eyes and sing to me (Shut your eyes and sing to me)
"You're All I Have"
Strain this chaos turn it into light
I've got to see you one last night
Before the lions take their share
Leave us in pieces, scattered everywhere
Just give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have
You're cinematic razor sharp
A welcome arrow through the heart
Under your skin feels like home
Electric shocks on aching bones
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear cos you are all that I have
There is a darkness deep in you
A frightening magic I cling to
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Give me a chance to hold on
Just give me something to hold onto
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear now you are all that I have
It's so clear now that you are all that I have
I have no fear now you are all that I have
"You Could Be Happy"
You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played on lips 'till it's madness in my head
Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
More than anything I want to see you go
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
Well would you look at that, I did end up putting almost the whole album on here! ;D Anyway: Enjoy! Cause I know I do. :)

I really should look up that band on itunes! I think I already did that when you first mentioned them, but I will again!

Alison Krauss - If I didn't know any better...
I turned around
Before I could run
I found you already settled down
In the back of my mind
I know this is just a customary fever
The moon is our deceiver
That will leave you running blind
You're heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you
Didn't want to
The look in the eyes of the one that
I would be drawn too
I'm a moth lost in a fire
And I know this
Is just a beautiful illusion
A case of the confusion
Between love and desire
You're heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin deeper and deeper its true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love
When the flame burns out
If finally settles down
And you forget
I ever came around
You're heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin deeper and deeper its true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you
I turned around
Before I could run
I found you already settled down
In the back of my mind

One might imagine either Ennis or Jack sympathizing with the lyrics to this England Dan and John Ford Coley classic, which might mirror many a night when, separated by great distance, they would long for their next fishing trip together. The song also dates from 1976, so it chronologically fits in with their story. Here is the song (written by Parker McGee and performed by England Dan and John Ford Coley):
Lyin' in bed with the radio on
Moonlight falls like rain
Soft summer nights spent thinkin' of you
When will I see you again
Soft and low the music moans
I can't stop thinkin' about you
Thinkin' 'bout you...
I didn't know it would be so strong
Waiting and wondering about you
I didn't know it would last so long
Nights are forever without you
The curtains still dance with the wind and the sky
The sun'll be coming up soon
But I just can't sleep for thinkin' of you
Here alone with the moon
Soft and low the music moans
I can't stop thinkin' about you
Thinkin' 'bout you...
I didn't know it would be so strong
Waiting and wondering about you
I didn't know it would last so long
Nights are forever without you...
Nights are forever without you...
Nights are forever without you...
