Coughing Colors - Tilly and the Wall

this is one of my top ten favorite songs of all time. when everyone used to have myspace, i had it as my myspace song and one of my best friends at the time told me it reminded him so much of me, which is one of the greatest compliments i’ve ever gotten. if i could have a guy (or girl) sing any song in the world to me, it’d be this one.

Tilly and the Wall - The Ice Storm, Big Gust, And You

We will sing pretty songs about love
And we will fight if that’s what it takes
And we won’t back down
No, we won’t shut our eyes and go to sleep

Coughing Colors- Tilly and the Wall

She homed with thieves, kicked up dirty leaves
She was a maniac, no one’s heart attack
She got around, slept on the bad side of town
She was cooler than you, way cooler than me
She was true, all blinded and bruised
She didn’t give a fuck, no, she had given up

i’ve been saying for three years or more that if i could have any song in the world be written for me, it would be this one.

Title: Love Song Artist: Tilly and the Wall 40 plays

Tilly and the Wall - “Love Song”

Well, you walked into the room just like the sun
And woke the caveman from his endless slumber
And with the quickness of your arm
You pulled out a paint brush
And you painted the sky back to blue
And now I’m standing on top of dirty clothes
There’s a tornado spinning in the corner
And electricity flows from your hands into my bones
And my flesh turns pink with its warmth

Oh, pretty love
Don’t worry
With me, you don’t need a place to hide
So just sit real still
And the light will flood in over the hills

And now I’m walking around outside
In the springtime everything is sprouting green
And I watched this fight occur
But only thought about lovers
Oh, it’s strange how the world becomes pure

And you were standing on top of tip-toes
In the kitchen as the water starts to boil
And as we removed each other’s clothes
I thought I would sing some notes
So that maybe you would slow dance with me

Oh, pretty love
Don’t worry
With me, you don’t need a place to hide
So just sit real still
And the light will flood in over the windowsill

Oh, yeah just sit real still
And you and me will bloom
Oh, you and me will bloom
Oh, you and me will bloom
On the windowsill

the freest man.

“the freest man” - tilly and the wall

There’s a boy I know, he has a heart of glass
It is gold inside, but it has crystallized
It is beautiful but in its tragedy
It is hard to hold without shattering

He calls himself at night, in soft over-chords
Keeps coming back to it, his voice and echo coarse
Till the sound’s so thick it turns the sky to smoke
And the greyest days the predictions told

But this boy I know, he is pure of soul
He just gets lost sometimes in his chemicals
Under a coat of night, it’s oh-so-comforting
And that first breaking light becomes his enemy

He calls so late tonight, it is 4 a.m.
He is drunk, he can’t find his apartment
I don’t like how it feels when I think of him
All hooded in black, lost and stumbling

The days start to fade out of the frame
Like they’re blurring into someone else’s name
You try your hardest to rewind the tapes
But you’re prepared every day
To make the same mistakes
Step out of that life
It’s nowhere near your time

Just remember you called it all bullshit
Well, it is and if you stop giving into it
You can walk away the freest man

This boy I know lives in a bell jar
It is balancing upon his pedestal
He tries not to upset the weight of conscience
Afraid it’s so far to fall if no one catches him

But I’ve been there too and I swear to god
If I can help you, please, you gotta tell me how
I know you’ve been away and it can break you down
And I don’t want you gone

All the cracks you see can be repaired
And if you start to fall, we will be there

Don’t drown yourself in all your old regrets
‘Cause that heaviness will steal away your breath
Step out of that life
It’s nowhere near your time

And don’t forget that you called it all bullshit
It still is and if you stop giving into it
You will walk away the freest man

Shake your head
Loosen your grip
Raise up your fist
You are the freest man

Open your mouth
Scream it out loud
Forget all your doubt
You are the freest man.

and if i could reverse it i don’t think that it’d be worth it, ‘cause i know in my heart i would never let you tumble to the ground.
