And if you share (with your heart) Yeah, you give (with your heart) What you share with the world is what it keeps of you

Lollapalooza Edition
Artist- Noah and the Whale
Song of the day- Give a little Love

I think if one of my favorite directors, Wes Anderson, had a band it would be Noah and the Whale. There are similar styling, not just about the look of the band but also the sound that is quirky, a bit off center, a tad unusual, and pretty much how I think the inside of my mind looks. It's a perhaps innocent, perhaps naive, perhaps simplistic outlook on life that mixed with a ton of idiosyncrasies make up an odd outlook on life. Today's song is one of my favorites and I hope they play it live. When you strip down on the complications of love and relationships and emotions and rambling thoughts and selfishness. Love can be as simple as this song and I think when I get lost in all the complexities of love I need to sometimes go back and look at the stripped down version. If you give a little love you can get a little love of your own. So if you need a little love, this one's for you.


Well I know my death will not come
'Til I breathe all the air out my lungs
'Til my final tune is sung
That all is fleeting
Yeah, but all is good
And my love is my whole being
And I've shared what I could
But if you give a little love, you can get a little love of your own
Don't break his heart
Yeah if you give a little love, you can get a little love of your own
Don't break his heart

Well my heart is bigger than the earth
And though life is what gave it love first
Life is not all that it's worth
'Cause life is fleeting
Yeah, but I love you
And my love surrounds you like an ether
In everything that you do
But if you give a little love, you can get a little love of your own
Don't break his heart
Yeah if you give a little love, you can get a little love of your own
Don't break his heart
Yeah if you give a little love, you can get a little love of your own
Don't break his heart
Yeah if you give a little love, you can get a little love of your own
Don't break his heart

Well if you are (what you love)
And you do (what you love)
I will always be the sun and moon to you
And if you share (with your heart)
Yeah, you give (with your heart)
What you share with the world is what it keeps of you
