Iron & Wine - House By The Sea Lyrics

These lyrics are so dreamy ♥️

gooooooooooood feeling!

two jealow sisters...

Left my diary in Homer Alaska in an abandoned cabin by the sea, where I wish I lived right now...<3

Is there any instrumental version of this ???? Coz this is too good 😍😍😍

Lyrics:
There is a house by the sea
Two jealous sisters, they're waiting for me
And one is laid on the floor
And one is changing the locks on the doors
And I've been buying the time on my knees
And I've been selling their blankets to bleed

Around the house by the sea
The scent of roses and raspberry leaves
And there is smoke in my clothes
Too much time with just smoke in my nose
And I've been making the meaning they lack
And I've been burning that book they come back to

There is a house by the sea
And an ocean between it and me
And like the shape of a wave
The jealous sisters will sing on my grave

And I've been living to run where they led
And I've been dying to rise from their bed
And I've been sparing my neck from their chain

And they've been changing the sound of my name
And I've been swimming to them in my sleep
And I've been dreaming our love and our freedom

This sounds very West African Influenced, the music from Mali. This is definitely African style guitar playing

Totally! I find it kind of cool that African rhythm helped form American blues, which then went back to Africa and turned into something unique in its own right.

Interesting

and the byrds

And Elliot Smith vocally

Merci mon ami j ma Peale beautiful in its entirety pls reserve my love for when you need it let’s celebrate you I need this musique pour moi max blissful ness appears out of your intricate creative pursuit to greatness buena ily I don’t wantto take much else outta yer day so can I just say bravo!
