And our dreams will break the boundaries of our fear

Artist- Brandon Flowers
Song of the day- Crossfire

Back to the everyday songs that fill my mind as I take a break from Lolla till it's in full swing in a few days, a song that I have unashamedly become obsessed with in the past few weeks is today's song. There are only a handful of videos I dare say make me like a song even more than I usually would. And the moment I saw Brandon Flower's first solo video, the little tom boy in me leaped for joy. When I was a wee lass I was always sad I wouldn't get to be a hero like the karate kid or superman because I wasn't a dude. And I'd have to wait in a satin lace dress like all the other princesses waiting for my white knight to rescue me instead. Sure I'd learn feminism later and burn my bra (only not really cuz we all need a little support), but there's some things from childhood that I guess never leave our imagination like the ideals that I should keep waiting around for a prince when I'd rather be a total badass, fight off ninjas and rescue a hot rockstar instead. I think this is a total realistic ideal about my love life I should keep. Sure Brandon Flowers is married, Mormon, not actually in impending danger, and doesn't know I exist, but this video made me fall head over heels, or in my case, ponytail over converse. For all you other heroes out there. This one's for you.




There's a still in the street outside your window
Your keeping secrets on your pillow
Let me inside, no cause for alarm
I promise tonight not do no harm
I promise ya, babe, I won't do ya no harm

And we're caught within the crossfire
Of heaven and hell
And we're searchin' for shelter

Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Watching you dress as you turn down the lights
I forget all about the storm outside
Dark clouds roll their way over town
Heartache and pain came a-pouring down
Like hail, sleet and rain, yeah, they're handing it out


And we're caught within the crossfire
Of heaven and hell
And we're searchin' for shelter

Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Tell the devil that he can go back from where he came
His fiery arrows drew their beat in vain
And when the hardest part is over, we'll be here
And our dreams will break the boundaries of our fear
The boundaries of our fear

Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down

Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Next to mine
