last night i saw this band play, vintage trouble. i'd never heard of them before, and within minutes was blown away. then they did one of their songs and dedicated it to etta james. and it was beautiful. you know when you hear something and it feels like every part of you is soaking it all in, so moved by the sweet words. i dont know what it was, but i fell in love.

it's not quite the same as it was live, but i had to share.



I was lost and alone in the shadows
Dark in my mind
My heart was trampled in the battle
Love left me blind

Then came around and found me, baby
You took my hand
And made me stand like the man I am again

DO YOU SEE WHAT YOUVE DONE TO ME
GONE AND WASHED AWAY MY MISERY
WITH YOUR TOUCH
YOU LOVE GRACEFULLY

I was shattered into pieces
Torn to the bone
And nothing mattered. No reason
To come from under my stone

Then like the sun you fell over me, baby
You hit my eyes
And made me rise and fly and shine again

DO YOU SEE WHAT YOUVE DONE TO ME
GONE AND WASHED AWAY MY MISERY
WITH YOUR TOUCH
YOU LOVE GRACEFULLY

Id bout given up on it all
Every single little hope and dream
Then you heard it and answered my call
When you lifted me
Lifted me over the wall

DO YOU SEE WHAT YOUVE DONE TO ME
GONE AND WASHED AWAY MY MISERY
WITH YOUR TOUCH
YOU LOVE GRACEFULLY
YOU LOVE GRACEFULLY
LOVE GRACEFULLY
