I Will Follow You Into The Dark

I really love this song...even though Death Cab has become somewhat of a sell-out band as of late. The lyrics are solid and melodiously poetic, the simple guitar allows this song to sound like a loose thought flowing through someone's conciousness - like a loose string floating through the air on a breezy day (don't ask...I like metaphors...also its getting late, haha).

So for today's entry, I decided to do a cover of Death Cab's "I Will Follow You Into The Dark." Instead of guitar, I played the ukulele...because let's face it...the ukulele is just amazing...and I've been a little obsessed with it lately. This is just a rough recording, I need to re-do the vocals, but here is what I have thus far. Enjoy!

"I Will Follow You Into The Dark"

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
