It Comes To An End – NZ Music Month 2007

It was a matter of discussion in the office this afternoon, that for NZ Music Month, there’s not been much more live music about town.. mostly NZ Music Month has simply meant an increase in NZ on Air programming on C4, Juice TV and the regular channels. A bit more radio coverage and a few black tshirts around town. Hmm.

Meanwhile, here is my favourite tune of the day.

Song of the Moment : Not Given Lightly
by Chris Knox

Hello my friend
It’s morning, time to wake now
In body, in mind
Entwined will have to break now
But I need your flesh
Your warmth to stay beside me
Oh how I wish
You could be deep inside me
Show me your eyes
Your low most tender feeling
And I’ll give you mine
Be truthful and revealing

And it’s you that I love
And it’s true that I love
And it’s love not given lightly
But I knew that it’s love
And it’s you that I love
And it’s more than what it might be

When we’re alone
I cannot always face you
Maybe my mood
Won’t let these arms embrace you
But that doesn’t mean
My love’s somehow diminished
Give me the time
To show our love’s unfinished

And it’s you that I love
And it’s true that I love
And it’s love not given lightly
But I know that it’s love
And it’s you that I love
And it’s more than what it might be

And every word I say is true

What can I say?
The words destroy all meaning
There’s only cliches
To get across this feeling

This is a love song
For john and liesha’s mother
This isn’t easy
I might not write another

And it’s you that I love
And it’s true that I love
And it’s love not given lightly
But I knew that it’s love
And it’s you that I love
And it’s more than what it might be
