Music! The Tallest Man on Earth

Take a break from your applied studying by listening to some music! Who doesn't like music?! Songs are a wonderful way to get language and entertainment at the same time.

This song is from the artist the Tallest Man on Earth. The video comes from a series of shows done by NPR in America called the "Tiny Desk Concerts". If you like this one, browse the many other Tiny Desk Concerts to see more bands. I've included the lyrics to the first song below (they're very easy to find for any song -simply type the name of the song and "lyrics"). Enjoy!

I Won't Be Found

Well if I ever see the morning

Just like a lizard in the spring

I'm gonna run out in the meadow

To catch the silence where it sings

I'm gonna force the Serengeti 

To disappear into my eyes

Then when I hear your voices callin'

I'm gonna turn just inside out

And if I ever get to slumber

Just like a mole deep in the ground

Well, I won't be found

Deep in the dust forgotten gathered

I grow a diamond in my chest

I make reflections as the moon shines on

Turn to a villain as I rest

And if I ever get that slumber

Just like a mole deep in the ground

And I won't be found

I know there is a hollow

I need to fill it with a draft 

Of all the words I have to say

And with a quiet whisper

I send a curse upon the day

That never used the sun to see

The light

I'm gonna float up in the ceiling

I built a levee of the stars

And in my field of tired horses

I built a freeway through this farce

And if I ever get that slumber

I'll be that mole deep in the ground

And I won't be found
