My Obsession, Tab Benoit

Featured by

Tab Benoit, a bluesy southern soulful gritty singer is probably my favorite artist of the last decade.  I can’t get enough of that voice.  I saw him in Chicago and it was incredible.  There’s a bit of talking here at first but sit thru it, I promise it’s worth it!

 

“Extreme Ways” Moby

by

Now I’ve never been a fan of Moby this song is brilliant.  Genius.  And it also happens to be the theme song to the Bourne movies I’m obsessed with.  Enjoy

lyrics:

Extreme ways are back again

extreme places I didn’t know

I broke everything new again

everything that I’d owned

I threw it out the window, came along

extreme ways I know move apart

The colors of my sea, perfect color me

extreme ways that help me out late at night

extreme places I had gone

but never seen any light

dirty basements, dirty noise

dirty places coming through

extreme worlds alone

did you ever like it then?

I would stand in line for this

there’s always room in life for this

oh baby

then it fell apart, it fell apart

oh baby, oh baby then it fell apart, it fell apart

like it always does, always does

extreme songs that told me

they helped me down every night

I didn’t have much to say

I didn’t get above the light

I closed my eyes and closed myself

and closed my world and never opened

up to anything

that could get me at all

I had to close down everything

I had to close down my mind

too many things to cover me

too much can make me blind

I’ve seen so much in so many places

so many heartaches, so many faces

so many dirty things

you couldn’t even believe

I would stand in line for this

It’s always good in life for this

oh baby, oh baby

Then it fell apart, it fell apart

oh baby oh baby

then it fell apart, it fell apart

like it always does, always does
