DJ RANGER DEN
(I Don't Want an Answer to That)

you see through the truth
and pray past a day
that you try to believe
in all of your angels
do you really need them
and did they ever slip away?

because hiding in shadows
just around corners
trying to slip just beyond
these darker borders
into half-truths I shouldn't get behind
...just leaves me blind
(just leaves me blind)

he's wishing through time.
she's counting the minutes.
keeping this silence and trying hard to live without
slowly drowning inside these stupid bite size
sacrifices

I wasn't chosen and my body is broken
I tried to love, but I only got to borrow
what was wrongfully stolen from
the earth and the stars and the sea

...and if I asked you again if I died,
would you come hold me?

well I don't want an answer to that
we already know what you'd say
you know I'd say the same thing, but
strictly speaking
for our feelings
how can we
make this look so easy?
...so easy

so we wait for the numbers one last afternoon
wait for the birds to fly away see the view
out the window, through the door, down the hall
- all the way to a different moon.

...and if I asked you how much time to make you mine,
would you say 'see you soon?'

well I don't want an answer to that -
I already know what you'd say!
you know I'd say the same thing
but strictly speaking
for all these feelings
...would you come hold me?

...because it shouldn't be this easy.

I really love the piano line in this, it's beautiful. Not sure how I feel about the vocal - I hate criticising vocals cos it's your voice, there's not much you can do to change it, but there's a bit of a C&W style drawl that I'm not too keen on. It's not too heavy so it doesn't spoil my enjoyment of the song. It's not out of tune or anything and the melody's nice.

I may have to dig back through your archive for evidence to the contrary, but I'm pretty sure this is my favorite DJ Ranger Den track ever. I love that elegant piano. I love how your vocals come in at the perfect level, assured mixing. Your lyrics are just the right amount of abstruse, and the spot-harmonies are really lovely. In a weaker round, you'd be a shoe-in for immunity, but this was a really great week for almost everyone. You're still easily in my top 2 for this week.
