Day 303 - A Fine Frenzy - You Picked Me

DAY 303
A Fine Frenzy – "You Picked Me”
From "One Cell In the Sea"




I did not think I knew anything about this band/performer. But I have heard one other song by A Fine Frenzy called "Almost Lover." I have had a hard time warming up to that song just because it reminds me so much of "Goodbye My Lover" by James Blunt. Seems like a semi copy cat even though it really isn't, it is just my brain.

I found this song on a random MySpace profile and instantly loved it. I looked up the lyrics and really connected to the song. The strings add so much to the song. Her vocals are really interesting. They are good, but very unique. Not a super strong vocalist and not whispy either.... she has some power, just uses it in an interesting way which pleases my ears. :)

The video is pretty cool too...

Not much else that I can say about the song since I just found it. But here are the lyrics that grabbed my attention.

It is so romantic... :P


One, two, three
Counting out the signs we see
The tall buildings
Fading in the distance
Only dots on a map
Four, five, six
The two of us a perfect fit
You're all mine, all mine

And all I can say
Is you blow me away

Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me

So softly
Rain against the windows
And the strong coffee
Warming up my fingers
In this fisherman's house
You got me
Searched the sand
And climbed the tree
And brought me back down

And all I can say
Is you blow me away

Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me
