Show me what is mine, take my finger
Drag it through where no one else will find
Take your time, I have got all night
Take your time, in the morning the sun will have its fight

Everything you see is all for your taking
Climb into my dreams and leave nothing
I have got all night, leave nothing
In the morning the sun will have its fight

And you know there's nothing
That I won't do for you here
That I won't do for you here
There is nothing that can stand up to my fight
For you, for you

So show me what is mine
Take my heart and drag it through your life
Take your time, I've got all night
Take your time in the morning where it's fine

And you know there's nothing
That I won't do for you here
That I won't do for you here
There is nothing that can stand up to my fight
For you, for you

And you know there is nothing
That I can't do for you, dear
That I can't do for you, dear
There is nothing that can stand up to my fight

And you know there is nothing
That I can't do for you here
That I can't do for you here
There is nothing that can stand up to my fight
For you, for you

I am not sure why there are so many negatives floating around over this tune. I find it quite nice to listen to, thanks Bill!{#Cheers}
 
Yeah, it's a good song - nice groove.  Anyhow, at least three of the negative comments came from the same malcontent.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. I'm not familiar with this but I like it.

Farewell was brilliant. This one, not so much.

This is dreary, eerie, peer-y; a clear and dreamy 8, in my mere opinion.

Rather Steven Wilson/Blackfield-ish. Growing on me.

I think I understand what you mean. I know how this kind of song could connect me to melancholy. But presently, it still connect me. Not to melancholy, simply to my heart. Much more enjoyable ;)

Melancholy is the ability to connect to a hurt heart. Connecting to a healthy heart is also possible. We often forget to use it.

 
wow...well said.

Massive Greg Laswell fan but this song certainly isn't his best.

Sometimes when I hear songs like this, I cannot help but realize how I've changed. When I was more depressed, melancholy I would have been all over this song & artist. Today, my heart isn't in that place anymore and it's amazing, but I'll be honest sometimes — I miss that strange feeling of bliss that is found in melancholy; music seemed to be the only thing that touched it. And I miss that sense of connection.

But I do not miss the pain...so I'm blessed listening to this type of music as a reminder of how far I've come  {#Cheesygrin}

 
Clear, erudite, wise and simple. Thanks.

Yep.  With lots of PT.

Somehow find myself agreeing with this post. Greg Laswell has some talent as a songwriter, but the movement of his music and voice sorta grates my nerves.
 
I don't know...I always seem to be turning his music up...
I also love the album artwork.

Greg Laswell occupies that uncomfortable place (for me) between indie singersongwriter and wanna-be hip soccer mom minivan music.  

If there are any soccer moms out there on RP, I don't mean to offend.  Maybe it's a local thing, but the soccer mom comment around here is a reference to any woman with children who drives a boring people mover, thinks that everything their kid does deserves a freaking prize, and that they should automatically get all the best parking spots because they managed to do something that humanity has been doing for a long, long time...  breed.  I hate that.

Seriously! With just a hint of Coldplay at times. (Don't be hatin' y'all!) Quite nice!

He is perpetually on my list of artist to check out. Really need to investigate him further.

What's so depressing about this song? People are nuts.
Posted 12 years ago by jkhandy    [ Reply ]
I like the cover of the album. The peeling paint on the wall, the peeling paint on the desk....the "writing desk" with no paper on it, no pens. The writing desk with all the discards crumpled and torn under it....

Quite a good song: engaging production sound and I don't find it depressing at all.

Not that everyone has to sound edgy and daring, but this one - much like "Take Everything" from the same record - just feels like by-the-numbers indie pop to me.

That's good, right?

Greg's voice is growing on me the more of his songs I hear.
