Yearning for Home

“If I discover within myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.” -C.S. Lewis


In that shadowy moment when my heart cries for something inexpressible, for experience I cannot name, I remember that I must be yearning for home. In the sweet breath between sleeping and waking, when the edges of my consciousness fog into a greater being, I remember that I must be yearning for home. In the strange ecstasy and passion of life, when I partake of emotion far beyond me, I remember that I must be yearning for home.

People Are Fragile Things

I recently discovered this band from Birmingham, England. (I must note that another wonderful band, Black Sabbath, originated in this city.) Editors list U2, Joy Division, and REM among their influences; this is patently evident in their dark, rich sound. This song is from their first album, "The Back Room".

Enjoy! What is your favorite current band?
