Kevin Morby - Beautiful Strangers (Official Audio)

[@ronster369]

This will be seen by very few - Please understand that this is a protest song where all the proceeds were donated to Everytown For Gun Safety. It's a song against gun violence. When he says pray for Paris - He is referring to the mass shooting in Paris. When he speaks of 49 dead - He is referring to the gay nightclub mass shooting in Orlando. When he speaks of Freddie Gray - He is referring to what cops joke about giving a 'suspect' a rough ride where he is handcuffed, put in the back of a van unsecured and driven around recklessly stopping and speeding up to make it a nightmare for the man in the back. Freddie Gray died after his ride from a spinal injury. All 6 officers were never convicted of anything. It's an awesome, stunning spiritual song. Just make sure you understand what it is saying to you.

[@owlscratch1952]

Same. Everytown For Gun Safety is nothing more than a vehicle for Bloomberg to promote his personal gun-control agenda. Everytown For Gun Safety's agenda is more than ridding felons of illegal guns. Under the guise of helping towns facing a crime and drug epidemic, Everytown For Gun Safety promotes confiscation of guns from law-abiding citizens.

LYRICS If you ever hear that thunder Put your eye to the sky, boy, and wonder Maybe there's a kingdom above the weather Oh, and whether you're gonna get our name is up to him If you ever hear that crying In the distance like some siren Maybe there's a singer With no ring around their little finger No love And If I lose my voice If I have no choice but to go quiet Won't you sing for me a melody into the night there Well, if I die too young, if the wolf he comes Fee-fi-fo-fum If I die too young, oh, if the locust come Well then, run, run, run Free If you ever hear that gunshot You may think 'bout what you do but you don't got Say a prayer, think of mother, I am a rock If you ever hear that sound now If the door gets kicked in here, they come now Think of others, be their cover I am what they're not Pray for Paris They can not scare us Or stop the music Your sweet voice, child Why don't you use it? If I die too young, or the gunmen come, I'm full of love So release me, every piece of me, up above (Up above, ooh ooh ooh) Love my mama and my papa Love my sister, can't stand the coppers up in their choppers Oh, flying overhead, forty-nine dead Singing, oh, my Lord, come carry me home Oh, my Lord, come carry me home I'm singing oh, my God, oh, my Lord Oh, my God, oh, my Lord Oh, my God, oh, my Lord Oh, my Lord And if I die too young for something I ain't done Carry my name every day Oh, I'm sorry Oh, I'm sorry Freddie Gray But sleep easy like baby Jesus in a manger Oh, sleep easy like little Jesus, beautiful stranger Oh, beautiful stranger If I die too young, let all that I've done be remembered And I'll sleep easy like baby Jesus in his manger And I'll sleep easy like little Jesus, safe from danger Carry onward, like some songbird, beautiful stranger Carry onward, like some songbird, beautiful stranger Oh, beautiful stranger

About a year ago I was having a Late Night Chill vibe in my bedroom after a joint, while Spotify was playing some random songs, and this one started playing. When the lyrics said "take a look in the sky and wonder" i took the advice and started to look to the stars, when a few seconds later a shooting star passed in the sky. It was amazing. The other day i started looking for the song but i never found it again. Today i went out to supermarket and let youtube playing random songs again, and right in the moment i came back home this song was playing, and i knew it was familiar. Replayed the song to find something about looking to the sky and yeah, this was the song. i'll never let this song again!!
