Fire and Flood - Vance Joy

Fire and Flood was released in 2014. I didn't realise that this was an Australian singer until I did some research. There is awesome talent in this country, with influences from a range of singers, both international and home grown to create wonderful diversity in harmonies and lyrics.

I'm not really sure of the meaning in this song but I simply like it. Here is Fire and the Flood...


"Fire And The Flood"

I was only walking through your neighborhood
Saw your light on, honey; in the cold I stood
Anywhere I go there you are
Anywhere I go there you are

I been getting used to waking up with you
I been getting used to waking up here
Anywhere I go there you are
Anywhere I go there you are

There you are
There you are

You're the fire and the flood
And I'll always feel you in my blood
Everything is fine
When your head's resting next to mine
Next to mine
You're the fire and the flood

Since we met I feel a lightness in my step
You're miles away but I still feel you
Anywhere I go there you are
Anywhere I go there you are
Late at night when you can't fall asleep
I'll be lying right beside you counting sheep
Anywhere I go there you are
Anywhere I go there you are

There you are
There you are

You're the fire and the flood
And I'll always feel you in my blood
Everything is fine
When your head's resting next to mine
Next to mine
You're the fire and the flood

Now listen here she said
Boy when you know you'll know
And I know

You're the fire and the flood
And I'll always feel you in my blood
Everything is fine
When your head's resting next to mine
Next to mine
You're the fire and the flood

Place your Hands - Reef

Hello,

I discovered this song last month but it has been around since 1996 and to me it still feels as fresh as if it was released in the 21 st century. The lyrics are, 'place your hands on my hope,' but the last word does sound like something else so this is called a mondegreen :)

I have written the beginning of another short story, so I hope that you will stick around as I would like to post it sometime in the future.

Cover by Jack Nolan





Oh, place your hands on my hope
Run your fingers through my soul, oh oh, yes
And the way that I feel right now
Oh Lord, it may go

So place your hands on my hope
Run your fingers through my soul, alright I say
Oh, and the way that we feel right now
Oh lord, it may go

Put your hands on, put your hands on, yeah
Put your hands on, put your hands on, yeah
Put your hands on, put your hands on, yeah
Put your hands on, put

You know you cannot hide from whats inside
You know you cannot hide from whats inside
So I ask of you to help me through
I ask of you this thing to do

Put your hands on, put your hands on
Put your hands on, put

So lay me down for a while
Join my body with my mind, alright now
Oh, and I cried at the common one
For weeks aft he died

Put your hands on, put your hands on
Put your hands on, put your hands on

Put your hands on, put your hands on
Put your hands on, put your hands on
Put your hands on, put your hands on
Put your hands on, put your hands on

'Cause the way that we feel right now
Oh Lord, it may go away

Put your hands on, put your hands on
Put your hands on, put your hands on
Put your hands on, put your hands on
Put your hands on, put your hands on
