awake my soul

One of my greatest joys in life is discovering new music. I'm not kidding. I was driving home from class the other day, in a bad mood, and on the radio I heard this song. The lyrics were incredible, the voices incredible, and I found my mood brighten immediately. Song is called - awake my soul, by mumford and sons. I wanted to find a video of the song and post it, but alas there is no music video - only homemade slideshows to go along with music which clearly wouldn't do it justice. So instead i'll just post the lyrics. This is the stuff of the heart - listen to it.

"Awake my Soul" - Mumford and sons:

How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know
This weakness I feel I must finally show

Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free
Har har, har har, har har, har har

In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life

Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
You were made to meet your maker

(ps. apologize for StIlL not posting any of my artwork, it's been a crazy busy semester, but I've got two paintings i'm currently working on. I'll get them up soon. Hopefully.)
