Great Song with Great Lyrics - Hide My Heart Away by Brandi Carlile

 

So this is how the story went
I met someone by accident
That blew me away
That blew me away

It was in the darkest of my days
When you took my sorrow and you took my pain
And buried them away, you buried them away

And I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You'll disappear one day
So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away

You dropped me off at the train station
Put a kiss on top of my head
You watched me wave
Watched me wave

Then you went on home to your skyscrapers
Neon lights and waiting papers
That you call home
You call it home

And I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You'll disappear one day
So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away

I woke up feeling heavy hearted
I'm going back to where I started
The morning rain
The morning rain
And although I wish that you were near
That same old road that brought me here
Is calling me home
Is calling me home
And I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You'll disappear someday
So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away
And I can't spend my whole life hiding my heart away

Great Rendition of the song

If you were Confused, Depressed and Angry , then you enjoyed the Deftones live in Manila

Way back when pirated mp3 CDs were famous and readily available , I came across a mp3 cd which contains Deftones back home in Sri Lanka.  The two albums that was included in that CD were  Adrenaline, White Pony and Around The Fur .   I was curiously listening to these albums and got to like it a lot.  Bored , CIHOF, Be Quiet, My Own Summer immediately became my favorites.

2011 I was already in Manila but I missed the Deftones show , I regretted it.

So this when they announced I got my tickets early  and so hyped to see them. 

I was at the venue quite early and luckily I won a meet and greet with the band  (I attend Deftones night on the previous weekend drunk to death)  and we were eagerly waiting for meeting them.   Soon that moment came up and we were in backstage with  Chino, Stephen, Abe, Frank and Sergio and had a chat  and took few pictures.  After the meet and greet I stepped out of the venue and came back for Queso’s last song.

Surprisingly the Deftones came onstage quite soon and everybody so excited.

I was banging my heads , throwing my hand on the air  and screaming to vocals of Chino. I was so impressed the Vocals of Chino and range he was portraying.  He was superb he was going for very low key vocals to high speeds rapping vocals in split of a seconds.

I noted the Sergio was very much enjoying the show and he was very fast and active on the stage.

Every song that played I felt  Confused (in a good way)  and Depressed bring me back to my dark downs and brings me back to my high happy moments.  Singing many songs like My Own Summer (Shove it)  made me Angry and I enjoyed it.

I really felt Deftones cared about their fans..one incident was Chino went all the way back  to sing for the fans at the back. 

I would wish they will come back for their next time to Manila.

So , were you feeling Confused , Depressed and Angry after the show , GOOD, that means you enjoyed the show.
