Songs Of Mass Destruction

I am in LOVE. Yes, you read it right, in LOVE. I discovered an album by Annie Lennox called “Songs Of Mass Destruction.” I love Annie Lennox, her voice, her lyrics and songs she picks is wow. I’m listening to it now while I am typing this. The songs she picks makes me think she is a mystic at heart, full of wisdom. I love every song on “Songs Of Mass Destruction.” That does not happen to me often, only a few have done that to me. Here is one of the songs that just absolutely smite me in my heart and soul. The song called “Big Sky”.
ANNIE LENNOX
Big Sky

Big sky
I'm gonna hurt you
Big sky
You'll remember this
Big sky
Up above the rain
How can I ever put a stop to it?
Look you in the face again

Big sky
I'll never let you go
Big sky
Baby I told you so
Big sky
Look at this swollen pride
I got so busy lookin' out for you
When were you by my side?

When I'm breathin'
When I'm sleepin'
I can't think of nothing else
All my longing'
All my waiting'
All my wailin'
All my standin' on the shelf
How am I ever gonna get through this
Back to myself again?

Big sky
I never knew you
Big sky
Let me down again
Big sky
I'm givin' you the blame
How did I ever get stuck in this?
Give me some grace again

Won't you say it isn't so?
Watch me fallin'
See me fallin'
I slipped through
The vortex of the sky
Darkness and light
Is what's inside
Darkness and light
Is what's inside

Check it out, listen to it in a dark room, with your eyes closed, and you will feel every emotion that is behind each song. This album is not one to play while cleaning house, or doing any other task. It is meant to make you contemplate, evaluate, and feel the passion behind every word and note.
