Kirstin Hersh - "The Letter"

Can you hear me?
Don't forget that I'm alone when you're away
You make me act like other people do forgive me
Comfort me You comfort me You make me die
I'm gonna cry I won't go home
Don't kill the god of sadness
Just don't let her get you down
See the man inside this book I read can't handle his own head
So what the hell am I supposed to do ?
I wonder how he died
My hands are shaking don't you love me anymore
I only need a person, keep my shoulders
Stand around lie down move your hand above the floor
Gather me up because I'm lost
Or I'm back where I started from
I'm crawling on the floor rolling on the ground
I'm gonna cry you look for me

misc music

* Cults - "the curse" - slow, twangy

Yann Tiersen & Shannon Wright
* Dragon Fly - sad, the grey south of autumn. have I heard this before? It's amazing.
* While You Sleep - pretty hard, a bit DAAU ish
* Dried Sea - reminds me Beth Gibbons & Rustinman
* Ode To A Friend - her haunting voice is amazing here... I'm reminded of a sharp voice, but can't think of it.... A song that sounded like pure fear.
* Sound The Bells - fast, dynamic

And also: Wild Flag - "Wild Flag"
girl band, turned it off after the 2nd song. Not bad. Not good.

furthermore: Maybeshewill - "I Was Here For A Moment, Then I Was Gone"
instrumental postrock, continuous guitarriffs, fairly uptempo.

update 2011-11-04: Ode To A Friend: the song I was thinking of, is Kirstin Hersh' "The Letter"
