Song of The Day: "The Lengths" The Black Keys

The Black Keys have became one of my favorite bands. They make me excited about new music that is not Hip Hop sorry...Hip Hop is still my first love. I grew up listening to every kind of music under the sun and I've been told recently that all I listen to is Hip Hop and I guess lately I have departed from really anything but Hip Hop. But recently I guess i've realized I need to look back, forward and further to find other forms of music to listen to and enjoy. I like to think of myself as pretty well rounded and I need to start to truly be that way. Like Sam Cooke said A Change is Gonna Come.

Anyways...

I always thought this was a BEAutiful song ever since the first time I heard it driving back home from CT last summer. Every part of it the music the words and how he sings touches my soul right now! I can really feel what he is getting across down to my core every word is so true...

Tell me where you're goin or
what is going wrong
I felt you leavin before
you'd even gone
and hold me now
or never ever hold me again
no more talk
can take me from this pain I'm in pain i'm in

See the moonlight shinin on
your window pane
see it leave you as
faithful as it came
please yourself so you
don't have to be afraid
make amends
or carry on another way another way

tell me what you were thinkin
to treat somebody so
the care he took the
lengths to which he'd go
coals are hot to walk
across without your shoes
but in the end
know that you got nothin to lose nothin to lose
