Gabriel and Dresden feat Molly Bancroft- Tracking Treasure Down
I don't have a lot to say about this song, other than the fact that it moves me. The lyrics are poignant. Fraught with pain. She's with him, but he doesn't ever tell her the truth. He's looking for something better... while lulling her with fantasies about how things will be. He's keeping her hanging on...she knows it but can't let go.
Lyrics:
I know this will be something I remember in my head Something I remember Sharp words push me back, hanging on to anything I can Anything I can Why do you tell me only things I want to hear ? Why don't you tell me this could just disappear ? At the same time (At the same time) You keep tracking treasure down At the same time (At the same time) (Tracking treasure down) Tracking treasure down (Tracking treasure down) Tracking treasure down At the same time (At the same time) Cant stop I'm soaked tonight, wanna find something I believe Something I believe Open up, take me in, makes no sense, help me understand Help me understand Why do you tell me only things I want to hear ? Why don't you tell me this could just disappear ? You tell me of pirate-ships and fairy-tales You have me wishing that everything was real At the same time, at the same time You keep tracking treasure down At the same time, at the same time, at the same time At the same time (At the same time) At the same time Why do you tell me only things I want to hear ? Why don't you tell me this could just disappear ? At the same time (At the same time) You keep tracking treasure down At the same time (At the same time) (Tracking treasure down) Tracking treasure down (Tracking treasure down) Tracking treasure down At the same time (At the same time)

Josh and Dave (Gabriel and Dresden respectively) have parted ways, which frankly.. saddens me. But all good things must come to an end, right? RIGHT?
And of course, some art that reminds me of the song. I did this piece a while ago, and just updated it.
