Vultures Like Lovers - Wild Nothing
from the 2010 EP titled “Golden Haze”
Wild Nothing is an American indie one-man band. The Virginia born and lone member, Jack Tatum, started the band in 2009. I find it kind of difficult to classify his music. It seems to be a combination of many different styles to form something unique and melodic. This is the kind of music you can close your eyes to, the kind that puts you into a state of nostalgic euphoria.
Lyrics:
Down in
my valley
there are vultures
like lovers
that search for
that something
to hold on to
Maybe
it’s crazy
to hope for
something more
than flesh, bones, teeth and skin
Won’t they ever let you in?
Would you
hold my
hair back
when I’m sick?
Sometimes
we can’t say
what we’re meant to
Crying
kids don’t
remember
those fun days
from all of
their kicking
and screaming
