Have You Ever Heard the Lyrics?

Come Back to Me - Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles

Gifts and flowers lay upon the lid
The pink silk above your face
Tears make a ribbon of diamonds in the dark
My daddy breaks down at the funeral home
Friends and relations make an annoying sound
We sit and wander around the room
Ribbons are folded on the rose bouquet
And I hear a voice that sounds so much like yours

Please, please come back to me
I cry soft to you through the bedroom wall
Oh, please come back to me

Playing in Cleveland on a Wednesday Night
Recovering from the night before
Well, I am broken and crying in the ladies room
The opening band is playing out their song

Please, please come back to me
I cry soft to you through the bedroom wall
Oh, please come back to me

I made a shrine for you on the kitchen wall
With flowers that and surrounded with souvenirs
You were walking through the house last night
I knew it was you from the space in your step

Please, please come back to me
I cry soft to you through the bedroom wall
Oh, please come back to me

Last night while I was sititng in the stands watching basketball, we are playing in our conference tournament this weekend, I finally HEARD the lyrics in the song above. I tend to have a short attention span where new music is concerned. At least twice a month I have a new musical obsession. It is a good thing I have an "artist alley" segment in my One Tree Hill podcast to feed my need.

Well, last week I was introduced to Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles. I even used a clip of their song "Modern Trick" in my One Tree Hill Podcast this week.

But most of the time, and you know it's true, we listen to a song but never really hear it. I did that with the song "Come Back to Me." It is so haunting. The person is torn apart. Death has taken her love from her and she goes through the sureal moments of the funeral and then how daily life almost seems unbearable. It is so powerful.

Music and lyrics, together they can touch you in ways you would never have imagined. And for a few minutes take you somwhere you never believed you could go.

What Happens When You Email a OTH Music Supervisor After Hours

I finished up my work and was about to leave and remembered. OMG, I hadn't talked to One Tree Hill Music Supervisor Lindsay Wolfington in two days. We usually talk by email at least twice or sometimes three times a week.

I tell her my new musical adventures or what band I am about to interview. Or it is her turn to give me some bands that will be on future episodes of One Tree Hill.

And then there are the rare occasions we do an interview. LOL

Tonight she emails me from her blackberry, fancy pants, and is like I am at a showcase with Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers. Why, the very band that intros my One Tree Hill Podcast with the song "4th of July." The same band who had their song "Hearts in Pain" in One Tree Hill this season.

I still claim I helped get Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers on One Tree Hill. After seeing them live this fall, I talked to Stephen. He mentioned Mark Schwahn had come to see them when Kate Voegele was touring with them and liked their music. Then I talked about them and put their song on my podcast and a few weeks later they are on OTH.

Not sure if I had anything to do with it, but I can claim to. LOL

Well, back to Lindsay.

She told me two other bands she was seeing, she is after all my musical guru, and said I should listen. They are up my alley. Ha, like she knows my alley.

Well, she does. Because her suggestion of Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles rocks.

Check them out. She is awesome.

Well, off of to listen to THE Lindsay Wolfington's new suggestons.
