by chelMy favorite song at the moment… “July Flame” by Laura Veirs. There’s just something very haunting and at the same time very comforting about the music and the vocals and the lyrics and the way it all comes together- I can’t describe it but it makes me imagine running free through a big field under a starry sky and falling in love for the first time.
lyrics:
July Flame, a firey kite
will always lead me through the night.
July Flame, sweet summer peach,
high up in the branch just out of my reach.
Can I call you mine?
Can I call you mine?
July Flame, I’m seeing fireworks.
They’re so beautiful. Tell me why it hurts.
July Flame, ashes of a secret heart
falling in my lemonade. Unslakable thirsting in the backyard.
Can I call you mine?
