Void - Red House Painters

From the CD Old Ramon

Find another corner of the house
When you need to get away
Her guitar leans against the couch
Sometimes I pick it up and play
Loosen and stretch it's ancient strings
Until it sounds the way I feel
Brush my thumb against it soft
Give it life or give it pause

When you look up in my eyes
I'm looking down in yours
All looks good up in the sky
Down to your wooly carpet floor
And I know that I have picked
The most perfect songs out yet
Even on a sketchy day
Just outside her shore we stay

When all it's colours turn and dry
Will you live or will you die?
When all it's poets fall away
Will you go or will you stay?

Fill the void in me now
Making love to me girl
Red light cruising the night
Red light getting me home

Driving down the freeway in your truck
I watched the river flowing up
Headlights cutting through the night
Hear them pass this place in time
And I know that I have slept
In the warmest bedroom yet
Even on the coldest day
Here inside her shore we stay

A verse of hope
There on that reel
Lets you know the way I feel
Ram my fists up in your hair
Feel me cruise up in the air

Fill the void in me now
Making love to me girl
Red light cruising the night
Red light getting me home

Fill the void in me now
Making love to me girl
Red lights float in the night
Red lights getting me home

Fill the void in me now
Smile down on me girl
Red light cruising the night
Red lights getting me home

Fill the void in me now
Making love to me girl
Red lights float in the night
Red light getting me home

Pull the weight of me now
Wrapped around me so good
Red light cruising the night
Red lights getting me home

Pull the weight off me now
Wrapped around me so good
Red light cruising the night
Red light getting me home

Fill the void in me now
Making love to me girl
Red lights cruising the night
Red lights getting me home

Snow Patrol are a pale imitation of RHP and other original 90's bands that gave them their style.

[JohnA559]

Void is most certain my favorite RHP song. I have to say its in my top ten of all time songs by anyone. Yes it is an amazing song.

[bramblecino]

I loved the 90's, it produced some of the greatest music.

[cruiser277777]

this song is like melting into the sky

[guitar19904]

RHP = unsung heros of the 90s

[dietcoke4breakfast]

the song in the new jackson triggs wine commercial rips this song off. love this song!

[jmtley]

@Aniland To me it's both. It feels like something really sad has happened but you're slowly getting through it and you're coming out of it on the bright side. Anytime I've had a bad day Red House Painters has always helped me to calm down and I always end up in a better mood for it. Their music is like an antioxidant.

@tomjohnoman I think someone made a comment and then deleted it.

@mikem1234 Who gives a fuck about Snow Patrol, why would you even bring them up, they are irrelevant.

[cadmus98]

These guys should do a track with Low.

[Aniland]

Some people I know think this song sounds happy, but I think it's gut-wrenchingly sad. What do you think?

I absolutely love this song. If you like Kozelek, you should check out ''Fragile Bones(Feels Like Home)'' by Ali Murray, or anything by Ali Murray for that matter. His music is so dreamy and sad and beautiful.
