Spring of Hearts

One of my favourite songs of all time. The most merciful. I've been near death a few times, and always then lullabies, soft blankets like this are lowered on me. It's so comforting, so sweet to be sung to sleep by these people. It's like hypothermia: it get's colder and colder

until it's warm and safe and you fall asleep.

And the unavoidable truth of the spring of hearts: When the ice / begins to thaw / oh, you will see /how beautiful we can be

Frozen World - Emilie Simon

Won't you open for me
The door to your ice world
To your white desert

I just want to stare
Out over these snowfields
Until we are one again

We belong to the frozen world

When the ice begins to thaw
Becomes the sea
Oh, you will see
How beautiful we can be

Everything is calm
At the end of the planet
In our white desert

The sun kissed the ice
It glistens for me
And we are one again
We belong to the frozen world

When the ice begins to thaw
Becomes the sea
Oh, you will see
How beautiful we can be

When the ice begins to thaw
Becomes the sea
