I was thirteen when I first heard it and fell in love with it and I forgot the name of the band and the name of the song. I just remembered forever snatches of the lyrics and when the internet became a place that made searches with such scant info possible I refound and completely fell in love with the Cowboy junkies.<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">( </b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://rain-and-poetry.dreamwidth.org/2103.html#cutid1">More music this way</a></b><b class="cut-close"> )</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=rain_and_poetry&ditemid=2103" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2012-10-26:1763861:1062The Killers: Be Still2012-12-27T17:09:27Z2012-12-27T17:14:15Zpublic0<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9R3PZxVs0as" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=rain_and_poetry&ditemid=1062" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
