[kukija0]

Heard this song on Castle, I love it. :)

[teufel379]

[teufel379]

who the fuck is Juno?? everyone is talking about her, but i just don't know who she is. can someone tell me pease? (excuse my ubcirrect english)

[sashafunfun]

A bottle of your blood inside me = wine ( drink this in rememberance of me.)

[TheShadowMystik]

I want to cry <3 <3

[hinnmikliikorninn]

I'm so proud of being from Iceland.

Love her.

[cipher074]

This is verrry beautiful i love it! and i love Emiliana Torrini her music is always pretty and deep.

[1stclassliar]

A bottle of your blood inside me :please someone explain

[branballistick]

@1stclassliar I believe this is a showing of the narrator's switch from speaking to the lost lover, to God. Calling the speaker's faith in her strength. In the previous two lines she mentions the Lord dropping her on the side of the road. The bottle of blood, i think, is her affirming she knows he has the divine strength that all humans do to get through heartache. And the beggar's prayer is the humility that often follows when one has been heartbroken.

[bobienieke]

omg! love it <3

[lizzeii]

If ever I could choose to cry to a song, it would be this one. If ever I were to let my thougths go, it would be to this song. If I ever fall in love, I hope it will be to this song. If I could lay on my death bed and listen to any song... it would be this one.

[joseffatrip]

And who just listens to it because they love Emiliana..

[10rebamcentire]

So who looked this up after hearing it on Castle??? :)

[LJFDFF]

[kdono15]

[marushadelrojo]

Thanxs Ellen, this is beautiful...

[Zizzousa]

@marushadelrojo Ellen Page has music taste? Did she announce this via Twitter or something? I still remember her singing in Juno, a very cute little song

[marushadelrojo]

@Zizzousa yes, via twitter :)

[huedo2]

Thanks Miss Page. Great song.

[TheAndyJade]

This song is beautiful!!!

Ellen Page just brought me here! =}

[akonangatalaga]

@TheAndyJade what do you mean by Ellen Page brought you here?

[TheAndyJade]

@akonangatalaga she tweeted about this song!

[purplepalpolly]

Like this if Ellen Page sent you here :)

[ForeverStanatic]

Thumbs up if Castle brought you here ~

[superbob8supered]

The photo is from national geographic, it says so directly below the photo.

[cristinagee92]

This photo is just as beautiful as the song. Where can I find it?

[Zizzousa]

@cristinagee92

Youtube isn't letting me post a link, but I think the photo is from (strange but true) an article on Oprah's website about using your camera more efficiently or something. Google 'women underwater lipstick' and it should be there.

[ShapphireLily]

i love finding good music through good shows

[Rachel83Ont]

i love this song and her voice so soothing and beautiful I would pay to see her in concert. It has a mood and so refreshing to hear a song that is not about ladie and man parts bumping and grinding.

[Lola19941000]

oh my god this song is awesome ....

[ange011kitkat]

i just love this songs! <3 c:

[hundiema]

Yep, the hurting will get loads better but it will not end completely. You still remember exactly how you felt when listening to songs like this one. :'(

But it also reminds you that death has nothing on love. :)

[xoxosonnenblume]

will someone please give me a link to this actual photo? i looooooove it. and the song of course

[theoriginaldoodle]

Goddamn this song is fucking sad..

[kourtneymae23]

this is a sad song, considering the meaning behind it

[jasonito23]

I love the humming part in this song. It takes my breath away. Nice deep voices. I would have loved to see this done live.

[beatmess66]

this song is about her dead fiancé ..like "Sunny Road" and "today has been okay" ... it is so brilliant, raw and real ... it is magnificiently sad ..

[mnewland]

But the shock-waves on my bones will linger

Like the ghost of you here in my bed....

[roxiod]

name of the painting please!!!!

[My30thnamechoice]

How'd they hold their breath that long?

[FrostedLlama]

@My30thnamechoice I'd imagine they had oxygen masks on, prepared the scene and how they were going to pose, then the mask was lifted and the picture was taken. So they don't hold their breath long.

[galadriel7777]

may be they are mermaids and nobody knows...

[Mr71model]

Emiliana Torrini is simply brilliant. All three of her albums contain some amazing music and lyrics. My absolute favourite!

[sara2382]

I don't even have words to describe this. She puts beauty in the bitterness...

[LadyMargret]

The picture is just adorable :)

[qtkyrie1]

I love Castle! I just HAD to know the name of this song. Didn't this artists do a song in Lord of the Rings? Gollums song?

[Thelostdrachma]

@qtkyrie1 yea Castle's amazingly funny...and yea,she did sing Gollum's song as well...she's got a very unique voice

[thecircuschick]

I understand that the main singer for lord of the rings was enya...

apart from a song by annie lennox.
