Bloom

I'm a big fan of a Melbourne indie band called The Paper Kites.  They've been around for a few years, released a couple of EPs, and this year they've released their first full studio album.  Their music is extraordinarily beautiful.  

I've had this one song called "Bloom" in my head for the last few days, and it's one of those songs that makes my heart ache because it's so gorgeous.  I'm sure everyone can relate to it in one way or another.

In the morning when I wake

And the sun is coming through

Oh you fill my lungs with sweetness

And you fill my head with you

Shall I write it in a letter?

Shall I try to get it down?

Oh you fill my head with pieces

Of a song I can't get out

Can I be close to you?

Can I be close to you?

Can I take you to a moment

Where the fields are painted gold

And the trees are filled with memories

Of the feelings never told

When the evening pulls the sun down

And the day is almost through

Oh the whole world it is sleeping

But my world is you

Can I be close to you?

Can I be close to you?

I hope these guys make it big, yet never lose the essence of what makes their music great.
