What We're Listening To: Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros

One of my favorite bands at the moment is Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.  And, one of my favorite songs at the moment is "Fiya Wata" off the album Here.  Sung by band vocalist Jade, who's voice is heartfelt and soulful.  I love the lyrics, the harmonies, the selection of instruments, and instrumentation.  Yes, I love this song.  Here's the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros with an acoustic live version of "Fiya Wata."  (Which I love.)

I'm sending you all of my love...
You with a heart to feel it
You in the light and dark
With the eyes to see it

Love,
Go ahead
Love stand beside us!
Love is within each heart to guide us.
Thank the sun for shining that light
And lettin' love blaze like
Fire!
Water!
We're all still learning.
The river forgives,
All tides are turning.
Some say the river won't flow
They say it's gonna stay run dry.
Well, once more the river will flow
For every time it was dry
We'll all be sharing this river of love
And letting love blaze like fire.

My love
The sun
Is your reflection
It's true
We're one
We're all each other.
Lay down your arms
And know that love will see us all, farther down this river
To a place we've never ever known before
To night our song will finally know the sound of love delivered
To its hidin' place beneath the winter snow.
Thank the sun for shining that light...
