december songs 6

i am making it a goal this december to find a video a day that just says it. maybe it is bitter, hopeful, tragic, or celebratory. maybe it inspires. i do hope that some of you may also find it cathartic. let me know...
 
december song 6 is heard somebody say by devendra banhart. again, hard to narrow it down to one song by a favorite musician of mine. the simple message in this song really struck me the first time i heard it. plus the video is groovy. fun fact, dv and i share a tattoo. i saw him perform in dc in 2007 and i wrote a gushing review here. lyrics follow.



I heard somebody say
That the war ended today
But everyone knows it's goin' still
Our motherlands and motherseas
Here's what we believe
It's simple
We don't want to kill
I heard somebody say
That the war ended today
But everyone knows its goin' still
Our motherlands and motherseas
Here's what we believe
It's simple
We don't want to kill
Oh, it's simple
We don't want to kill
Oh, it's simple
We don't want to kill
Oh, it's simple
