I'm not a lyric poster. But I'm making an exception for this little lady and her song, Hide and Seek. This song rips me up. Love. It. It's a cappella- and totally haunting. If it didn't make me want to jump off a bridge, I'd listen to it more often. (but in a good way- if there is one.)
Try to listen to this one, if you can.
Hide and Seek
Where are we?
What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just began to fall
Crop circles in the carpet
MORE...
Sinking, feeling
Spin me around again
And rub my eyes
This can't be happening
When busy streets
A mess with people
Would stop to hold their heads heavy
Hide and seek
Trains aren't solving machines
All those years
They were here first
Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before
The takeover
The sweeping insensitivity of this
Still alive
Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
(You won't catch me around here)
Blood and tears
They were here first
Mmm, what'd you say?
Mmm, that you only meant well
Well of course you did
Mmm, what'd you say?
Mmm, that it's all for the best
Of course it is
Mmm, what'd you say?
Mmm, that it's just what we need
You decided this
Mmm, what'd you say?
Mmm, what did she say?
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cutouts
Speak no feeling, no, I don't believe you
You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cutouts
Speak no feeling, no, I don't believe you
You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit
(You don't care a bit)
Oh, no, you don't care a bit
Oh, no, you don't care a bit
Uh-uh, you don't care a bit
You don't care a bit
You don't care a bit

I love this song too!! I have probably listened to it a hundred times and it is still so beautiful.
