Mandy Moore just released a brand spankin’ new song called “Extraordinary” from her upcoming album “Wild Hope.” I transcribed all of the extraordinary lyrics the best that my hard-of-hearing ears could. I like the song pretty much!
I was a bay tree
Quiet and unseen
I lived in stories but inside I kept a mystery
I was a starling
Nobody’s darling
Flying in perfect circles
Desperate company
[Chorus]
And now I’m ready
And now I’m ready
And now I’m ready to be
Extraordinary
A midnight airplane
A window blowing
I know I am another sparkle in the sky
I shine on copper
Still undiscovered
But you must see me in the corner of your eye
(Chorus)
Waking up to wake up some day
I am my own prey
Stopping off at a sidewalk cafe
The wind is playing up in the trees
Kicking up confetti leaves
Sings as if it’s all to say
Not to me. Good she has acting on the side because it won't be a hit.
But going back to her old sound won't give her a hit, either. Mandy never really was that big of a hitmaking machine to begin with, but she has no chance of having a hit now, as sad as it is to say.
I haven't checked this out yet, but I probably will at some point.
I love it,and the whole direction she is going w/ this album.She's staying true to herself.I love the whole "folkish" vibe this CD seems to be heading in.
it's just ok...
