Blind Pilot – Go On, Say It

Posted on the July 8th, 2008 under Alternative,Free iTunes Download,Music,Single of the Week by Music Man

“Go On, Say It” is an exemplary bit of minimalist melancholy from the Portland duo known as Blind Pilot. Acoustic guitars, brushed drums, strings, and chiming percussion combine to create a sweet bit of pleading heartbreak. The song comes from the album 3 Rounds and a Sound, and the album is a new favorite around here – working in the same areas as the Shins or Death Cab for Cutie, but with a more homespun, folk feel.

Lyrics for the song “Go On, Say It” by Blind Pilot

Picking up sound on the interstate,
I am my breath, letting in waves.
There will be time when the sleep
I’m in covers me whole, covers me thin.
I know I’ll wake up old,
forgetting which box this is in.
How I will keep you just how I left you.
Our daughter once told me I know a lot.
Now I’m strutting off with more than I’ve got.
A hitchhiker told me I don’t talk a lot.
It made me feel fine, made me quiet.
If you’d of said it right
instead of painting words white…
How I will keep you just how I left you.
Come on, say it right.
