"The Love Still Held Me Near" by City and Colour

City and Colour (the nom de musique of Dallas Green) sings a beautiful, sweeping song, "The Love Still Held Me Near" from his brand new release of the same name. A little folk, a little alternative, a little 4AD, a little War On Drugs, a little early Duncan Sheik...it's just lovely.

Awake, awake my darling
The moon is down
The waves, the waves they are crashing all around
What would you do?
What would you say, if I was gone?
Losing your breath
Toil and sweat
Just hold on

If you say it now
Leave no doubt
You’d shatter the earth
It’s where I will be found
Cause the love still held me near
Say it now
Then time will disappear

Awake, awake my darling
From your beautiful dream
Save me from my sorrow
Which burns eternally
Hammer me down

Into the fire, I am reborn
Let love’s energy, pour into me
I am yours

If you say it now
Leave no doubt
You’d shatter the earth
It’s where I will be found
Cause the love still held me near
Say it now
And time will disappear
On still water the sky lay its head
Hope is hanging on by a thread
Say it now
Leave no doubt
Shatter the earth
It’s where I will be found
Cause the love still held me near
Say it now
And time will disappear
