matt berninger from the national said that eric bachmann of crooked fingers was one of the best writers on the subject of love. while i've only got a couple of their albums, i'm finding it hard to disagree. and perhaps it's no coincidence that i first heard of eric's band when matt's band did an awesome cover of the song sleep all summer. the lyrics to that song are so poetic, in particular the line i've used for this photo's title, the longer version of which is: give the ocean what i took from you so one day you could find it in the sand, and hold it in your hands again. both versions are fairly similar, and i'm probably biased towards the cover as i'm such a big fan of matts' voice - and st vincent who appear as well. decide for yourself, here are links to the original and cover version.
