For Music Monday this week I have ‘Wolves’ by Down Like Silver. I love this song so much and it fits perfectly into every writing playlist I have. It’s just beautiful, with the underlying haunting tones of an organ, his low tones, and her sweet voice – but the entire song is about death. It’s like a love letter from someone dying, asking for their loved one to let them go and live – don’t mourn me, don’t sit in the darkness, daylight is waiting for you. *swoon* There have been times I’ve been pulled to a full stop listening to it because it tugs at my heart in all the right ways. I’m putting the full lyrics here because they’re too perfect, so go ahead and scroll down and hit play and listen/read along to this amazing song. Enjoy, lovelies. <3

Lyrics

When I die, let the wolves enjoy my bones.
When I die, let me go.
When I die, let the wolves enjoy my bones.
When I die, let me go.

When I die, you can push me out to sea.
When I die, set me free.
When I die, let the sharks come round to feed.
When I die, set me free.

Oh the world is dark, and I’ve looked as far I can see.
When the years have torn me apart, let me be.

When I die, let the flames devour me.
When I die, set me free.
When I die, throw my ashes to the breeze.
When I die, scatter me.

Oh the world is dark, and I’ve looked as far as I can see.
When the years have torn me apart…
Let me be. Let me be. Let me be. Let me be.

Daylight is waiting for you. Daylight is waiting for you. (x4)
