Desert Sunrise

This song won't stop running through my head.

Brett Dennen is a uniquely thoughtful songwriter, and damn talented. Most of his lyrics spill out like poetry, and his voice has a curious delicacy that is somehow steadied by the sincerity of his writing. I have to recommend the rest of his first album, and So Much More.

Here's the part I can't get out of my ears:


desert moon rise into the night
before we lay our heads I wish
to walk under the splendorous starlight

sing so sweetly, it’s the sweetest sound
and I’ve become weak in the knees
and I drop down and kiss the ground

and all my cares lie far below
in this earth I wish to die
in this hearth my fire grows
