Something For Kate - Waltz #2 (Elliott Smith cover)

Oh. My. Gosh. I think I'm transformed into bliss. I was looking for a youtube video of Paul Dempsey singing "Born To Run" because he always performs it at his live shows and it's awesome but man, I couldn't find it. However my dear music aficionados! I found this. This incredible gem... A blend of two of my favourite artists. I avoid listening to Elliott and have done so for years because music is powerful and Elliott has the powerful ability to drag me downwards. However, I'm pretty low at the moment and sometimes you need something equally low to bring you up.

This is gold.



Something For Kate - Waltz #2




First the mic, then a half cigarette
Singing Kathy's clown
That's the man she's married to now
That's the girl that he takes around town
She appears composed
So she is, I suppose
Who can really tell?
She shows no emotion at all
Stares into space like a dead china doll

I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow

Now she's done, and they're calling someone
Such a familiar name
I'm so glad that my memory's remote
'Cos I'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note
Here it is, the revenge to the tune
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Can't you tell that it's well understood?


I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow

I'm here today, expect it to stay on, and on, and on
I'm tired, I'm tired

Looking out on the substitute scene
Still going strong
XO Mom
It's OK, it's alright, nothing's wrong
Tell Mr. Man with impossible plans
To just leave me alone
In the place where I make no mistakes
In the place where I have what it takes


I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow
I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you annyhow
I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow




I love how the crowd is singing along. We who love Paul, love Elliott also.

Night,

Cathrine
