Tom McRae - My Vampire Heart



Link.

Favorite lyrics: If it don't end in Bloodshed dear
It's probably not love

I broke someone's heart again
Someone you know
You're looking at him my friend

Tom McRae takes his time singing these lyrics, like he has an eternity to whisper his story. It's full of passion and deep, deep tragedy: being in a dark place, and barely remembering what used to make it light. The way the song is sung, starting off slow but building and building until it fades, is respondent of the dark romance in the song itself. "And I wonder / While we count the cost / Which is sweeter / Love or it's loss " This song is a poem given a voice portraying true pain, loss, and longing; it could easily be overdone, but the subtlety behind the music is a perfect fit.

Reminds us of: Iron and Wine or a darker Bryan Adams.
Listen to: when you need to cry.
