06/25/2006: "Nothing At All"
Song of the Day: Rob Dougan - Nothing At All
"Nothing at All" has replaced "One and the Same (coda)" as my favorite Rob Dougan song. I've listened to it about 50 times in a row tonight, and find it oddly comforting. I demand a new album sometime soon, and one that doesn't deviate from his orchestral music/gravelly voice formula. I hereby request that everyone download it and sing along (or at least check out the preview on iTunes).
Let the whole world fall away
And fall into my arms
Stay with me
I don't know how long we've got left
And so I'm asking you
To forgive me
I learn as I go
To float far away
Into silence
And just watch your face
And find some kind of grace
In that quiet bliss
Where will we go when we get old
When the bustle and the noise
Get too frightening
When each and every angry word
Is banished to the past
Thats when I think...
We'll learn as we go
To float far away
Into silence
And I'll watch your face
And read of patience and grace
In each line there
Will you walk into the grave with me
Will you leave this empty world
Soft and wistful
To sink into the dark, dank earth
And never reappear would be blissful
To float far away
Into eternal space
And God's silence
Where I'll watch your face
And find patience and grace
In each line there
Can I stay and say nothing at all
Work each day, all for nothing at all
The few words I say they mean nothing at all
Drift away into nothing at all
Find the grace to be nothing at all
Fade away and end up nothing at all
At all, at all, at all

That's one of my favorites on the album, but the top 2 are definitely Will You Follow Me? and Clubbed to Death II. :Dj!!, Sunday, June 25th
WYFM? and CtDII are beautiful, but they don't have his pretty lyrics and gritty vocals. : (Brooke, Sunday, June 25th
