I recently Googled up the “We’re All In This Together” Telus Mobility commercial song and discovered this new artist, Ben Lee, who I’ve started to really like. He’s got a lot of albums, but here’s “Into the Dark” by him (not a cover of the DCFC song by almost the same name) from his latest, “Awake Is the New Sleep”. I’ve already sent some of his songs around (like to Herman and Amy) and I’m hoping to start a new wave.
I’m feeling better, since I surrendered.
You can’t climb ’till you’re ready to fall.
You’re not a land mine. You’re not a gold mine.
No you’re not mine at all.
So tell me baby, can you hear me?
I sent a message out into the dark.
It’s a mystery, when you’re near me.
I’ve gotta find my way to your heart.
I learnt my lesson: first impressions,
More often right than wrong.
It’s not a slow dance. This modern romance.
Feels like we’ve already waited too long.
Don’t worry baby ’bout how it should be.
I sent a message out into the dark.
I’d rather talk to you about how it could be.
I’ve gotta find my way to your heart.
I was one of those breathing tornadoes.
But now I live at the eye of the storm.
And it’s all faded, then since the separation,
Since I let your love keep me warm.
You tell me baby, that you can feel me.
I sent a message out into the dark.
When I kiss you, that’s the real me.
I’ve gotta find my way to your heart.
So tell me baby, can you hear me?
I sent a message out into the dark.
It’s a mystery, when you’re near me.
I’ve gotta find my way to your heart.
I’ve gotta find my way to your heart.
I’ve gotta find my way to your heart.
- Ben Lee, Into the Dark
