I know i've talked about sixpence none the richer before. I really like them la especially the voice of their lead singer leigh nash. I think she has a very distinctly beautiful voice.
I've searched a bit and couldn't find the influences for the song melody of you but couldn't really find much. I like this song because of the nice guitar accompaniment if you can it that. Its not like most songs, there's no noise, nothing unnecessary, just the instruments and her voice, straight to the point, soothing. Enjoy this with me.
Melody of you
soft as it shifts from dark beneath
a poem that flows, caressing my skin
in all of these things you reside and I
want you flow from the pen, bow and brush
with paper and string, and canvas tight
with ink in the air, to dust your light?
from morning to the black of night
[Chorus]
this is my call I belong to You
this is my call to sing the melodies of You
this is my call I can do nothing else
I can do nothing else
you're the scent of an unfound bloom
a simple tune
I only write variations to sooth the mood
a drink that will knock me down to the floor
a key that will unlock the door
where I hear a voice sing familiar themes
then beckons me weave notes in between
a bow and a string, a tap and a glass
you pour me till the day has passed....
~shalom~
