| *MOTW #10: Sanders Bohlke - Lovesick Misery |
Whoo! We've reached the double digits in out MOTW, and so that's reason for celebration [party, party, party...]. Anyways, a second one in the out of town MOTW's is being written in Las Vegas on this fine Saturday morning. This week's artist is Sanders Bohlke who's gonna continue the hopeless romantic tradition established 2 weeks ago by The One AM Radio and followed through last week by Mat Kearney. Sanders Bohlke is going to be singing us 'Lovesick Misery' and you know where this is going with the title already :)
Another acoustic track, this was the first I ever heard by Bohlke sometime early last year. Bohlke's lyrics are so honest that you can't help but feel exactly what he's singing about. Every time I hear this song, I almost want to cry because of just how beautiful it is, and because I've been there plenty of times myself:
And I wait for my angel to come,
You're breaking my heart but I'm holding on,
Oh, if I could just make you see
That my heart is deep in lovesick misery...
His voice that's tinged in southern gospel and soul adds so much more to the song, and is worth the song all in itself. Honestly, I lack the words to describe this song, and so I'm just going to let you guys take a listen and decide for yourself. And if it depresses you, I apologize in advance.
Also, if you're in the LA area, he's going to be playing a show in a week and a half at the Hotel Cafe. I've seen him live twice now, and I can't even begin to describe how his music comes to life then. So if you can make it, come out, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed!
Sanders Bohlke - Lovesick Misery
Full Lyrics:
Got a smile on, look at me,
While I stand and I watch in lovesick misery,
You starin me down but you can't see
While I stand and I watch in lovesick misery
Oh, and I find that love is hard to come by,
Oh, and it gets hard to breathe, yeah
When I stand and I watch in lovesick misery
You're waving goodbye and I watch you leave,
While I stand and I watch in lovesick misery,
You're walking away with all my beliefs
While I stand and I watch in lovesick misery
Oh, and I find that love is hard to come by,
Oh, and it gets hard to breathe, yeah
When I stand and I watch in lovesick misery
And I wait for my angel to come,
You're breaking my heart but I'm holding on,
Oh, if I could just make you see
That my heart is deep in lovesick misery
I'm screaming inside and I fall to my knees,
Cuz my heart is deep in lovesick misery...
[I transcribed it so it might be slightly off]

I tried to downloaded it but it cuts off the last verse. :(
I loved what part I did hear!
MOTW suggestion:thieving by lovedrug
-
*tries for the third time to download this song*.....*fails*
I can only get the first 1:37.
-
Hmm - did you try to right-click and save as?
I've tried it several times all day and it works fine for me... let me know if it still gives you a problem.
-
Great song, arpit.
However, I feel the need to say: give us some good rock-n-roll, too! And I'm thinking about re-submitting my band suggestion. I would be happy to send a track (since i can now.) :o)
But, yeah, I really like this song - just got done listening to it. Admittedly, I am a sucker for a nice slow song. I'll listen to it several more times this afternoon. ;o)
-
oh, and rachel, do you think it's not downloading the whole thing because it thinks you already have the whole file on your computer already? have you tried deleting the original attempt and starting over? i'm not a computer geek, so i'm just guessing, but i've had that kind of problem before with other things. it's just a suggestion. hope it works for you.

dear arpit mehta,
thanks so much!i really really enjoyed that song, it was sung beautifully and the lyrics were simple and easy to relate to, i might add, especially to an incurable romantic (who tends to worship from afar) like myself. *sigh* oh well, you did warn me didn't you? ;)
-
@ Heather - Phil and I just talked about it the other day, and so I'm gonna be taking it up a notch this coming motw.
@ Sarah - yes I did :p
-
ALL RIIGGGHHHT!!!!! yay.
Of course, I want to repeat, the songs you've given us so far are really great. Especially this last one. You're doing a great job!
-
I like it!
The way he sings some of the verses remind me of the lead singer of The Fray.
