Happy easy listening Sunday everyone. I love this guy and his cover of the Death Cab for Cutie song. Beautiful lyrics, beautiful voice.

“I Will Follow You Into The Dark”
Love of mine some day you will die
But I’ll be close behind
I’ll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there’s no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I’ll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
“Son fear is the heart of love”
So I never went back
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there’s no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I’ll follow you into the dark
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It’s nothing to cry about ’cause we’ll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No’s on their vacancy signs
If there’s no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I’ll follow you into the dark
Then I’ll follow you into the dark
One of my favorite songs – so simple, yet powerful in its sentiment.

This is one of my most favourite tunes in the world. I saw DCFC last May at the Gorge. We were so close we could almost touch him. Ahhhh, good times….

I had no idea who Death Cab for Cutie might be so I watched on You Tube. I like this fellow’s version better. He has such a lovely voice.

Gotta agree – amazing voice, and he doesn’t try to over sing it.
