I’m guessing I’m not alone in having had no idea who Kimbra was until she showed up on a verse of Gotye’s smash hit ‘Somebody That I Used to Know.’
The New Zealand indie pop artist has released two solo albums: Vow in 2011 and The Golden Echo, which dropped this August. Today’s SOTD is a track from the new record.
Kimbra has an interesting sound, nothing like the Gotye track that brought her widespread attention. She has a jazzy Bjork quality that is intriguing but not really my cup of tea.
Yea-a-ah
Yea-a-ah
Yeah
[Verse 1]
I will be your savior
When no one’ll save ya
Be your shining light, galvanize
Make you burn all up inside
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But there’s a space that I’m saving
To keep me strong
There is a place that I’m saving
We can’t stay for long
[Verse 2]
I will be your lotus
Growing slow so you don’t notice
Out of the deadwood, the deceased
Look close, then you’ll find me, oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
There’s a space that I’m saving
Got to keep it strong, hey
There is a place that I am craving
We can’t stay for long
[Chorus 1]
Find me in the forest, in the fire
Find me in the midst of your desire
I got love in high places
Love in high places
Find me in the secrets, in the lies
Find me in the darkest place, and in the light
I got a love in high places
I see the love in all the faces
[Break]
[Verse 3]
I will be your danger
When you think nothing can change ya
It’s pyrotechnical, physical
The way I rock your manger, mmm
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Biut there’s a space that I’m saving
To keep me strong
There is a path that I’m paving
Cause we can’t stay for long
[Chorus 2]
Find me in the forest, in the fire
Find me in the midst of your desire
I got love in high places
Love in high places
Find me in the sacred, and the pain
Find me in the dry earth, in the rain
I got a love in high places
I see the love in all the faces
[Outro]
Love will surely break your heart
Then set you free
Ha…
Meet Me In Montauk 
Yeah, I’m with you on this one. Not bad, but not my cup of tea either.
