Wicked Playlist – Music Blog

If you were watching American Idol tonight you probably saw the story of Rose Flack toward the end. She was the blond girl whose parents were hippies and had died. She has a lovely spirit and personality, but that isn’t the reason for this post. The song playing in the background was from one of my favorite artists of all time, Ray LaMontagne. The song playing was “A Falling Through” from his Gossip In The Grain album. It is a beautiful song by a beautiful artist, Ray LaMontagne!

Laid our blessings on the ground,
The softening of sound
Draws us closed again

Stay, stay and watch the coals
Till they cease to glow
Like empty promises

Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?

Baby?

There’s nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
To bring you back again

This of life I know is true
It’s all a falling through
And so I reach for you

Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?
Why, Why did you go, why did you go away?

Don’t you care
That it may seem unfair?
(You steal things you ought to borrow)
Don’t you find
That it may seem unkind?
(I’d rather breathe than drown in sorrow)

Why, why did you go
Why did you go away baby
