[Victory]

John introduced me to a folksy-bluegrass band called Trampled by Turtles, and I've been devouring their stuff. They're kinda like a bluegrass version of Mumford & Sons. Here's their song Victory. I like the lyrics.



All of us lonely, it ain’t a sin
To want something better than the shape you’re in.
The rain came at the break of day,
Your light in the windowpane said, Come on In.

It’s a broken heart babe, I know the sound.
Feels like your hand are nailed to the ground.
But it’ll pass just like everything else.
You won’t let it get to me, the next time around.

It’s a hard-earn victory.
The life that came from you to me
could never be wrong.

Grown from a moment and a million miles,
Here lies the stardust and it slowly dies,
Borrowed from nothing, come back half alive,
And the stars, they whisper blessings as you walk by.
