Nice Weather For Ducks

This song by Lemon Jelly never fails to cheer me up! The music video is pretty good too... The dancing ducks are the best bit. 

Cannonball

'Cannonball' by Damien Rice is one of my favourite songs of all time. The lyrics are so thoughtful and pure; I particularly love how he juxtaposes ideas of love and lying, life and dying. I have posted the lyrics below if anyone would like to read them. 

Cannonball

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on

Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
Still I can't say what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
