Beardfish - Tightrope

From the album "Mammoth", released in 2011.

I walk the tightrope
and tell you I love you
Even if you don't
Even if you don't
I'll say the words that I long to hear
"I hold you so dear"

I hold my breath in the moments that follow
Even though you don't
Even though you don't
And then you speak so soft I can't hear a word that
you are saying
(what are you saying?)

She's singing songs of passion
She's singing songs of silence
Her words are bolts of lightning:

"What do you see when you look at me?
Am I the one or am I just another
androgynous friend in the passing
How weak am I?
When I'm not in your bed
Do I still figure in your head
Do you think of me in the night
when you can't sleep?"

And she's singing:
"I can never be with you"

I walk the tightrope
and tell you I love you
Even if you don't
Even if you don't
I'll say the words that I long to hear
"I hold you so dear"

[7777Scion]

this is one of the weak spots of the album - curious why you chose this one?

[luizhbr9]

@7777Scion don't know why, but this is my favorite.. maybe only mine, 'cause it was the only one not in youtube! haha

[FyrusD]

This is one of my favorite songs on the album. A lot of people said they don't like it.

Screw em.

[LordKostor]

@luizhbr9 i too consider it to be one of the best songs of the album. it reminds me a lot of jethro tull though

This is my favourite song on the album. My five year old daughter loves it too!

[fuckinuniqueusername]

@DrJaneSetter yup. jethrotullish also a bit ;)

[TheHaldidntdoit]

@DrJaneSetter Agreed! It has that very nice pastoral Richard Sinclair vibe.

[TheLB2k6]

I can see why people don't like this track... It's very catchy. However, I dig catchy.

[veneamerican]

I like it! I don't see anything wrong with it

[DrJaneSetter]

It's quite Caravan-esque, this one.
