Antje Duvekot – "Pearls”
From "Big Dream Boulevard"
Antje Duvekot is such an amazing song writer. Her voice is unique and so pleasant. This song "Pearls" is touching and human. We have all been there at some point in our lives.
This piece of the song is the hook for me:
"Oh, but when you gonna come for me, Lord?
When you gonna come for me?
Cause I've been expecting you forever
Waiting here for you
Will you send a little grace?
It's the least that you could do
It's the least that you could do
I hooked up a hick down in the church
I took a walk down Big Dream Boulevard
With all the sand that gets into this world
We should all be motherfucking pearls"
Even with the profanity it is the best lyric for that portion of the song... and it is sung so softly the intent is understood... Check out this short interview/performance of Antje performing this song live. (The profane line was changed for this live performance, but we all know how the censorship thing goes... goodness knows none of us can handle a piece of art the way the artist intended it to come across in order to preserve the innocence of society... ggggrrrrrr...) ;)
