#MusicMonday #89 – I held a pack with all the aces

Welcome back to another #MusicMonday! It’s not about books, but about music, and I’m looking forward to presenting you with a taste of my playlist. It’s the brainchild of Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek, but my inspiration comes from the lovely Claire from A Knight’s Reads. Every Monday, I’ll be choosing a song to share with you. The Spotify playlist is here and it pip will be updated as I go along.

Today’s #MusicMonday features a band I saw a few times around ten years ago. I really enjoyed them, but they slipped off the radar until a friend shared a video on social media this week, and I was happy to be reminded of them, so I wanted to share it with you.

Brother & Bones: For All We Know

For all we know, for all we know
For all we know, for all we know

I still feel the lonely mornings
Yeah, the same ones you left behind
Now loneliness, the only thorn
Only thorn left in my side
If I’m still the colour of
The darkness you’ve been fearing in my love

And are we lost?
With these lonely hearts we found
Well, I’ll go against the grain until it wears me down
And if we’re lost
Then where are we now, my love?
Have we got nothing to show?

For all we know, for all we know
For all we know, for all we know

And I know you tried to fill the spaces
Left by thinking I’d be there
But I held a pack with all the aces
Such selfish hands, nothing to spare
Are you envious of love?
Did I burden you with all the things I was?

And are we lost?
With these lonely hearts we found
Well, I’ll go against the grain until it wears me down
And if we’re lost
Then where are we now, my love?
Have we got nothing to show?

For all we know, for all we know
For all we know, for all we know
For all we know, know, know, know
For all we know, know, know, know
For all we know, for all we know (Where are we now?)
For all we know, for all we know (Where are we now?)
For all we know, for all we know (Where are we now?)
For all we know, for all we know

Are we lost?
For all we know (Where are we now?)
Are we lost?
For all we know (Where are we now?)
Are we lost?
For all we know (Where are we now?)
Are we lost?
For all we know

And are we lost?
With these lonely hearts we found
Well, I’ll go against the grain until it wears me down
