DEAD LEAVES AND THE DIRTY GROUND...

When I know you're not around
Shiny tops and soda pops

When I hear your lips make a sound
Thirty notes in the mailbox
Will tell ya that I'm coming home
And I think I'm gonna stick around
For a while so you're not alone
If you can hear a piano fall 
You can hear me coming down the hall
If I could just hear your pretty voice
I don't think I need to see at all
Soft hair and a velvet tongue
I wanna give ya what you give to me
And every breath that is in your lungs
Is a tiny little gift to me
I didn't feel so bad 'til the sun went down
Then I come home
No-one to wrap my arms around
Wrap my arms around
Well any man with a microphone 
Can tell you what he loves the most
And you know why you love at all 
If you're thinking of the holy ghost

YOU KNOW IT'S SO HARD TO LOVE SOMEONE THAT DON'T LOVE YOU

The White Stripes I "Death Letter" I De Stijl
Jack White covering Son House = Brilliance. This White Stripes performance is outstanding. You can just see his passion for the blues coming out of each note. I love how they take it into "Grinnin' in You're Face" at the end, Jack White has said that the a capella Son House song is his favourite song of all time and has had the greatest influence on his music.  Had a chance encounter with him last week before The Dead Weather concert and it was truly an amazing dream come true to meet him in the flesh. He is at the top of my list of musician from this generation too have such a profound impact on me and he is the reason I started learning to play guitar. I will never forget that wonderful day.
