Jules, Gary - Keep Lyrics






And the dream comes to the surface
And you know you're not asleep
Pictures come crawling through the cracks in your eyes
A mind is hard to keep

She said its
Natural
For you to be afraid
She said its
Natural
To despise what you have made
Made

She could feel her city melting
She goes out of the gate
And into the street
Shes so surprised to find
The world outside alive
And the earth beneath her feet

She said its
Natural
To build before you learn
She said its
Natural
To want see a city burn
A city burn
Yeah

And we could build a wall around us
And we could crawl across the floor
Lately I've been thinking to myself
We can't stay here anymore

Green lights for the living
Green lights for the dead
Green lights for the lady
Trapped inside my head

Who said its
Natural
To die before you change
She said its
Natural
To tear before the re-arrange
Re-arrange

And we could build a wall around us
And we could crawl across the floor
Lately I've been thinking to myself
We don't need it anymore

Whoa its a little bit funny
Whoa its a little too hard
Whoa she's a little bit worried
Whoa it's a little too far
Far

And the dream comes to the surface
And you know you're not asleep
Pictures come crawling through the cracks in your eyes
A mind is hard to keep

Jules, Gary Keep Comments
  1. j.... ....

    He sounds so much like Cat Stevens and in some parts like Simon and Garfunkel. In this song The boxer is the song that came to my mind.

  2. G.... M....

    This is about to spike in popularity...

    K.... ....

    I wish I was here to see that happen ;D

    It kind of strikes me as funny that people often say about Gary Jules that he should be more famous. I think the man is famous enough for him to be at ease with. Real artists ideally shouldn't be interested in fame. The reason being that fame isn't the equivalent of quality. Fame is more intertwined with selling quantities and that is nothing more than commercialism. Which in an artist point of view should only be a waste of time. To exceed or find/develop quality within yourself is mostly an individual process that is experienced best by the artist himself. To extend these efforts to the world is not in any way helping the artistic process. Also as other people get involved you will notice that one way or the other your artist freedom can get compromised. The way to not let that happen to you is to decline the offer. And you'll be amazed at how many real artist aren't famous for this very reason. If you like music you don't listen to radio. You explore the corners of youtube. That's where you stumble upon the real gems. It wouldn't surprise me if Gary declined every big offer he got after Mad World. He IS a real artist.

    f.... ....

    I'm sure as an artist selling massive quantities is wide recognition of your art, so will therefore be quite fulfilling. As long as you don't compromise what you want to do, recognition and fame will come with a quality product and it doesn't make you any less of an artist. Of course, you can turn down the opportunity for excessive wealth, fame and (if you're good) respect but I don't think many musicians would. Most musicians want their music to be heard and loved, and there's nothing wrong with that, even if it means condemnation from the hipsters...

    f.... ....

    Point to me a great artist that did what he did out of recognition. I think it'll be quite an effort.

    f.... ....

    He had one hit and this was his tears for fears cover. With his own music he would have never made it.

  8. R.... W....

    OMG!!! Do you hear that? This voice, I think I'm in love right now! His voice is amazing! I don't know what you've done with me but i could listen only you! He's so talented Guy! wow

    This guy's voice, for some reason, makes me think of jumping off docks into lakes, wooden fences, long summer days, old greyscale photographs, and being a kid. I love it! It just gives me a particular feeling.
