Heavy in your arms

Heavy in Your Arms -Florence and the Machine

First heard this song off Twilight, "Eclipse" soundtrack and i absolutely love it. The lyrics are somewhat metaphorical and poetic and the melody is intense.

"Heavy In Your Arms"

I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown.

I was a heavy heart to carry
My feet dragged across ground
And he took me to the river
Where he slowly let me drown

My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall

I'm so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
I'm so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms

And is it worth the wait
All this killing time?
Are you strong enough to stand
Protecting both your heart and mine?

Who is the betrayer?
Who's the killer in the crowd?
The one who creeps in corridors
And doesn't make a sound

My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall

My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall

I'm so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your arms
I'm so heavy, heavy
So heavy in your arms

This will be my last confession
I love you never felt like any blessing
(Ohhhh)
Whispering like it's a secret
Only to condemn the one who hears it
With a heavy heart

Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms
(i'm so) Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms
(i'm so) Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms
(i'm so) Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms

I was a heavy heart to carry
my beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown

I was a heavy heart to carry
But he never let me down
When he had me in his arms
My feet never touched the ground

I'm so heavy, heavy in your arms.

Heavy, i'm so heavy in your arms.

Another song that I'm absolutely in lov with is 'Mad World', both Aiden Grimshaw's and Adam Lambert's version. Lambert made the song very dark and thrilling. Aiden Grimshaw's version is goddamn intense! His trembling voice and mad-looking angst-filled eyes. He looks like he's having some kind of inner struggle, hiding something dangerous inside of him, like he's trying to supress and trembling because he couldn't hold it in him anymore. woah.. tt was really one breath-taking performance..

Aiden Grimshaw sings Mad World - The X Factor Live

It's sort of like Lambert brought sorrow and darkness to the song, beautiful and tragic, while Grimshaw shocked me with the intensity and the insanity. Both are great in their own ways.
