Just listen

[tebtosca]

I've said this on this journal before, but Neko Case is my favorite singer (and IMO, the best songwriter of her generation). If you've never listened to her before, take 2 minutes and 53 seconds and listen to this now:

I've listened to this song a million times over the years, but for some reason it's giving me feelings today. So maybe I'll write some fic.

Lyrics after the cut, because of reasons.





"Furnace Room Lullaby"

All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
How come, how come

I twisted you over and under to take you
The coals went so wild as they swallowed the rest
I twisted you under and under to break you
I just couldn't breathe with your throne on my chest

All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
How come, how come

So far under the bed
Into the beams you've gone
I've gone, you've gone

I'm wrapped in the depths of these deeds that have made me
I can't bring a sound from my head though I try
I can't seem to find my way up from the basement
A demon holds my place on earth 'till I die

All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
How come, how come

So far under the bed
Into the beams you've gone
I've gone, you've gone

All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
