“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.
