Stolen - Civil Twilight



Link.

Fav lyrics: I will search the land and sea
To find this girl who stole from me
And when I do I'll tell her she
can keep that old heart of mine

Civil Twilight is a band we've loved for a long time. We've seen them play twice, and we're heading for a third time in Columbus for CD101 day. The vocals are brilliant, the band well-practiced, and the elegance in their lyrics tangible. They're originally from South Africa, and you can hear a slight cultural influence in the way they play, which gives a different flavor. And we love different. They're well-known for their song Letters in the Sky, but all of their music leaves an impact. On the Surface, which we just put up on a playlist for 8tracks (you can listen to the playlist here), is another favorite. The idea that love can literally be stolen from you, though, isn't a conventional "love song," which is why we featured Stolen today. Their entire self-titled CD is worth several listens.
