I feel like I haven't visisted my Music Monday for forever. In reality, it was only a week suspension because of Memorial Day. I'm back now and I though I would share an old favorite song of mine. Not really a well-known band, but definitely a good one. I can't even remember when I found Burlap to Cashmere, probably around 1998 when their cd Anybody Out There? was released. They remineded me of one of my favorite bands, Jars of Clay, yet they are very different. I love the Greek influence in their music. It adds another layer to the music. Supposedly they have a new cd coming out in July. I will have to pick it up!

They're big song was "Basic Instructions" which I do love. But my favorite song from the cd has to be "Eileen's Song." It is just so lovely. I feel like I'm reading someone else's love letter while listening. That's what makes this song so beautiful.

Lyrics:

You have one wing and I have another Seeking shelter like sister and brother Through the winter and through the summer Like one angel we'll Fly far away

Hold my hand and we'll make it all right From this hell that we live in Cross the road until the light Comes inside and lives within It's a long and lonesome ride When your friends have all gone home But the roses in your eyes They pull me in so I don't feel alone You have one wing and I have another Seeking shelter like sister and brother Through the winter and through the summer Like one angel we'll

Fly far away Sometimes I just can't help but cry When I think of what we've become Like a soldier lost in the night Forgetting all where he has come from But the mud will soon become dry And the sun will rise again And the shadows in our eyes Will fade away down to lower plains Cause' You have one wing and I have another Seeking shelter like sister and brother Through the winter and through the summer Like one angel we'll

Fly far away You have one wing and I have another Seeking shelter like sister and brother Through the winter and through the summer Like one angel we'll

Fly far away So my friend now this I say I won't leave you hangin' on Hold on tight now and don't fly away Till one angel we have become
