OK, so when I'm alone in the car (i.e., sans three-year-old demanding Elvis Costello) or on the Internet, I'm listening to the following, all worth checking out:


Annie Williams -- my favorite of hers is So Much, but anything she sings is beautiful. And she covers Wilco's Far, Far Away. Enough said.


Ray LaMontagne -- Another that's all good.


Starrfadu -- All Your Words is a duet with Annie, and I posted the lyrics here before.


Bon Iver -- Also mentioned in a previous post. I'm partial to Skinny Love.


And today, today I'm listening to Matt Nathanson.


Not only does he do a mad cover of James' Laid, he's got me with Come on Get Higher. And I know how everyone just *loves* when folks post lyrics, but on this rainy Monday, I'm giving you the finger and posting them anyway. :) Cheers.


Come on Get Higher


I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in


If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
Make you believe
Make you forget


So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love


I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet
Perfect words that you said


If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget


So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love


I miss the pull of your heart
I could taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils
And God, when you come on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on


Sing sha la la la
Sing sha la la la la


So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire in the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me, drown me in love


It's all wrong, it's all wrong,
it's so right
So come on, get higher
So come on and get higher
'Cause everything works, love
Everything works in your arms
