Calendar Girl

If I am lost for a day; try and find me 

But if I don't come back, then I won't look behind me 

All of the things that I thought were so easy 

just got harder and harder each day 

Calendar girl whos in love with the world, Stay alive 

The pages keep turning, I'll mark off each day with a cross 

And I'll laugh about all that we've lost 

Calendar Girl who is lost to the world 

Stay Alive 

Calendar Girl who is lost to the world Stay Alive 

January,February,March,April,May I'm alive 

June,July,August,September,October I'm alive 

November,December, I'm alive 

I'm alive 

LOW

See your reflection in your mind

You keep your revelations wide eyed

They knew just where to draw the line

You let them get you every time

For years now the music of Low has touched my heart in ways that most music can't reach. There's something highly hypnotic about it, it takes me to another place, where I am calm and feel a heightened sense of emotion and truth. It is like therapy for my soul and once I have poured out my feelings through listening to one of their albums I feel refreshed and ready to get on with the day. The complimentary harmonies of a husband and wife not hiding their darkness, or denying it's existence, but crafting the lows into heartwarming songs that we can all relate to. Songs like 'Sunflower', 'When I go deaf' and 'Two-Step' just rip right through me, while songs like 'Canada' and 'Walk into the Sea' make me feel like I could move mountains. If they were around in 1967 you would know who they are two, and probably own their greatest hits collection, which is where they rightfully belong xx.

But when the sun shines again

I wish we could open our eyes

 to see in all directions at the same time 

Oh what a beautiful view

 if you were never aware of what was around you

And it is true what you said: 

that I live like a hermit in my own head

But when the sun shines again

I’ll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in
