so, today’s song is possibly one of the most flat-out romantic songs i’ve heard in years. solstice, by the unwinding hours, is quiet, unassuming, and pitch perfect in every aspect, from craig b’s vocals to the piano and guitar. only those with the deadest, most embittered of hearts will be able to resist this one.
have a listen and then go tell the person you love how much they mean to you.
i’m old
well, i’m cynical
but not enough to let you go
and what is this?
i dare not name it
we move in secret ways
so don’t tell a soul
don’t say a word
falling asleep on my chest is enough
and when morning comes
i’ll walk you halfway home
i’m old
and i’m speechless
as we undress without a sound
i don’t know what to say
or i don’t know how to say it
but i can’t walk away from this
right now
so don’t tell a soul
don’t say a word
falling asleep by my side is enough
and when morning comes
we’ll make love
we’ll make love
when morning comes
