I’ve loved this song for what seems like for­ever when a band called North­ern released it on their MySpace. They recently changed their name to Hunt­ing­field and released their debut album. Although I haven’t yet lis­tened their whole album, it’s a phe­nom­e­nally epic song. There’s really not more to say about it.

“We Illu­mi­nate”

Oh, this burn in my soul
Watch me as the embers glow
You’re, you’re get­ting too close

Change my mid­dle name
From “sub­tle” to “the human flame“
Things just won’t be the same

We started a fire
She’s made me a liar
I said, “I don’t need love
I’ve made it this far“
She broke through the sur­face
It’s hard not to notice
The way I breathe deeper
When she’s in the room

Weak, I thought I was strong
I never could have been more wrong
I’ve waited so long

Oh, and it’s fine
Yeah, it’s alright
We’re get­ting by
Yeah, it’s alright

I just dis­cov­ered this song when I heard one line from the song on a com­mer­cial on a tv in the other room. It took a bit of search­ing but I finally found it… and it was worth every sec­ond. This is what a happy song sounds like. Although it’s by MoZella (not Mozilla…),  Tim Myers (co-writer and singer/songwriter) is a freak­ing genius. If you like happy music, that’s where it’s at. Seriously.

“Thank You”

Lalala…

Mixed up and lost
You showed me love at no cost
And when nobody else cared
You were there

Down on my luck
You helped my life get unstuck
And when the world went away
You stayed

Thank you for the good times
Thank you for your love
Thank you for the joy you’ve given me
Yeah, yeah, thank you

You fight off my ene­mies
You’d take a bul­let for me
And you know I’d do the same
For you

‘Cause that’s how we roll
Con­nected, at the soul
And I just want you to know
How I feel

Thank, you, for lov­ing me every day
Thank, you, for show­ing me the way
Thank, you, for things that I never say
