{Find Your Smile Now}

When I was looking for the music video for last week's post I stumbled across the music video for one of my other favorite songs by Future of Forestry.  The band made it as Song #4 on my "Summer Playlist" this last year so my faithful readers {all six of you :) } should be familiar with them.

After watching this video, my level of respect for the band and love for the song grew immensely, not to mention the desire to see them live!  While they were rehearsing for their 2010 tour, they filmed a few of their songs and put them out before the tour began. "Find your smile now"...and enjoy!



{Slow Your Breath Down by Future of Forestry}


This chest is full of memories
Of gold and silver tears
I'll give you more to own than all of this
And I'll give you more than years
For you were once a child of innocence
And I see you just the same
Your burdens couldn't win or lose a thing
Oh, I'd tell you once again
But you're always on the run

Slow your breath down
Just take it slow
Find your hear now
You can trust and love again
Slow your breath down
Just take it slow
Find your smile now
You can trust and love again

If you leave I'll still be close to you
When all your fears rain down
I'll take you back a thousand times again
I'll take you as my own
I would sing you songs of innocence
'Til the light of morning comes
'Til the rays of gold and honey cover you
In the sweetness of the dawn
But you're always on the run

Slow your breath down
Just take it slow
Find your heart now
You can trust and love again
Slow your breath down
Just take it slow
Find your smile now
You can trust and love again

You're not alone
You're now a part of me
You feel the cure
I'll find the toil it brought you

Slow your breath down

Just take it slow

Find your heart now

You can trust and love again 

Slow your breath down

Just take it slow

Find your smile now

You can trust and love again

{Love Waits For You}

{Speak To Me Gently by Future of Forestry}

Sadness and rhyme

These are the times

These are the memories

We find a way

Pushing through the day

So speak to me gently.

Can you just feel the time

Falling from some place new?

Can you just feel the sign 

love waits for you?

Love waits for you.

I'm searching the stars

In desperate hours

Bound to find meaning.

God show me a face

In this desolate place

And tenderness meets me.

Can you just feel the time 

Falling from some place new?

Can you just feel the sign

Love waits for you?

Love waits for you.

Stories untold

Of redwoods grown old

Reside in the forest.

And there you can hear

A whispering tear

That speaks to our loneliness.

Can you just feel the time

Falling from some place new?

Can you just feel the sign

Love wait for you?

Can you just feel the time

Falling from some place new?

Can you just feel the sign

Love waits for you?

Love waits for you.

It has nothing to do with vampires of any kind.

Summer Playlist {Song #4}

To be honest, it's kind of hard to blog on a consistent basis.  I feel like I need to have something really profound to say whether its talking about the songs I've picked for my Summer Playlist or just when I do an entry.  So, I think I set high expectations for myself and feel like I can't reach them so I don't do it.

Anyways.

I've struggled with my next pick because I love A LOT of Future of Forestry's stuff and it was hard to just pick one song.  On their website, you can go and listen to all four of their albums online in their entirety!  I love it when bands do that especially if I don't know their stuff real well.  FOF's style is definitely indie rock to a "t" (whatever that really means, lol) and so talented!  Some of my fav songs are Slow Your Breath Down (one of the first songs that I heard), Close Your Eyes, If You Find Her (such a sweet song!) and Twilight (no, not because of the movie, hehe).  I could go on but definitely check out their website where you can listen to all of these songs.  After much deliberation, I chose You and I from the album Twilight.  Hope you like it as much as I do!
