By the time I got your letter I had lost my mind
I was trippin'
"When you gettin' better?"
It's a jagged line
Nothin' lasts forever when you travel time
I've been sippin' that cool aid of the cosmos

'Cause The Voyagers in every boy and girl
If you wanna get to heaven get out of this world
The Voyagers in every boy and girl

When it finally hit me I did not cry
'cause I was at the 7/11 flippin' through The New York Times
I saw it printed in black and white- The Voyager goes up in smoke

The Voyagers in every boy and girl
if you wanna get to heaven get out of this world
You're the Voyager
You're the Voyager

You scared me straight
right into your arms
ah-oh
ah-oh-oh
ah-oh
ah-oh-oh
ah-oh

The Voyagers in every boy and girl
If you wanna get to heaven get out of this world
you're The Voyager
you're The Voyager
Hey
you're The Voyager
you're The Voyager
I'm the Voyager

How would one differentiate this from...........First Aid Kit?

Sorry but zzzzzz.  Caught her act opening for her friend Beck at Red Rocks.  Like this song, couldn't wait till it was over

I like this song, but it could do with a bit more band involvement. To my ears, her voice isn't as engaging the production suggests it is.

Very pretty tune!

Especially if you count her time as a child-actress on shows like Webster, Mr. Belvidere, The Golden Girls, and Growing Pains in the 1980's.
 
I suppose growing pains in the 1980s are not as bad as growing pains elsewhere or elsewhen

Love that song, a song to kiss someone to.

Another groove-killing tune. {#Naughty}
Posted 6 years ago by SeriousLee    [ Reply ]
I like the atmosphere that JL is making. I try not to attach to closely to the lyrics. They are vague enough to be serene. I could see myself liking this for awhile and then getting REAL sick of it quickly. That's kinda what happens to me if I like a tune right from the get go. We'll see.

Agreed! And for me right now, it's a 4 rating song. I can see, being in the mood, giving an 8. I'll average that to a 6, which is what the other 550 ratings average to - which is fitting.

Have to admit, I'm mildly obsessed with this song. It's not her best work, it's a little corny, but there's something about it.

That jacket takes four AAA batteries in order to maintain that glow.  I had one just like it, but it seems to look better on Ms. Lewis.
