Acoustic Extravaganza is one if KT's great album pre-Drastic Fantastic that takes me a while to like. Apart from Ashes, One Day, Golden Age, Universe and U and Gone To The Dogs, my one favorite track is Throw Me a Rope. It gave me a warmth sensation of relaxing sunny weekend afternoon, sipping tea by the balcony while watching sun setting. It also gave me the shiver of late quiet cold windy night, watching leaves dragged by chilling blow of night air illuminated by streetlight. Times like this makes me wanted to hum along to the rhythm.
I've shared this song in one of the entry in main blog [grav.i.ty], also once resides in Mixpod. Maybe it is difficult to like it at first but do read the lyric and you'll understand why this is immensely heartwarming.
THROW ME A ROPE by KT TUNSTALL
I want you between me and the feeling I get when I miss you
But everything here is telling me I should be fine
So why is it so, above as below,
That I'm missing you every time
I got used to you whispering things to me into the evening
We followed the sun and its colours and left this world
It seems to me that I'm definitely
Hearing the best that I've heard
So throw me a rope to hold me in place
Show me a clock for counting my days down
Cause everything's easier when you're beside me
Come back and find me
Cause I feel alone
And whenever you go it's like holding my breath underwater
I have to admit that I kind of like it when I do
Oh but I've got to be unconditionally
Unafraid of my days without you
So throw me a rope to hold me in place
Show me a clock for counting my days down
Cause everything's easier when you're beside me
Come back and find me
Whenever I'm falling you're always behind me
Come back and find me
Cause everything's easier when you're beside me
Come back and find me
Cause I feel alone
from Acoustic Extravaganza (2006)
