Something in the Water

by nadine on August 25, 2010

I love Brooke Fraser. And I really love that she’s now happily married to her Australian surfer-musician husband. Because this means that instead of her poignant, “Love, Where is Your Fire?” stuff — for which I will always have a super-soft spot — her new music is carefree and sweet and folksy and delightful and….

Yeah, I’m a fan.

“Something in the Water” by Brooke Fraser

Do do do do do do do do do do

I wear a demeanor made of bright pretty things
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears
Birds singing on my shoulder in harmony it seems
How they sing, how they sing, how they sing

Give me nights of solitude, red wine just a glass or two, reclined in a hammock on a balmy evening
I’ll pretend that it’s no thing that’s skipping my heart when I think
Of you thinking of me babe I’m crazy over you

Aaah Aaah Aaah
There’s something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
There’s something in the water, that makes me love you like –

I’ve got halos made of summer, rhythms made of spring
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears
I got crowns of words a woven each one a song to sing
Oh I sing, oh I sing, oh I sing

Give me long days in the sun, preludes to the nights to come preludes of the mornings laying in all lazy give me something fun to do like a life of loving you
Kiss me quick now, baby, I’m still crazy over you

Aaah Aaah Aaah
There’s something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
There’s something in the water that makes me love you like I do

Oooh oooh oooh (x3)

Give me nights of solitude, red wine just a glass or two, give me something fun to do

Aaah Aaah Aaah
There’s something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
There’s something in the water that makes me love you like I do

Aaah Aaah Aaah
there’s something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
There’s something in the water that makes me love you like I –

Do do do do do do do

LOVE it. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I’m totally checking this out on iTunes (and perhaps buying it!) :D . Thanks for sharing. (Pst, I’ve liked her for a long time and it’s because of your blog/you. I always think of you when I listen to her. Also, we must hang out again sometime…soonish. :D )
