I've fallen for Landon Pigg's voice ever since I first heard the song Falling in Love At a Coffee Shop in that Diamonds are Forever ad back in late 2007. His Coffee Shop EP made me fall even harder. Can't Let Go and Great Companion, while already awesome on his album LP, were just terribly brilliant acoustically.
Landon Pigg is definitely a hugely talented artist, who writes and performs meaningful songs in that mellow voice of his. Many of them are actually bittersweet or even sad, expressing feelings of regret over a past love. Something Brief, The Boy Who Never, Can't Let Go and Great Companion are all examples of my previous statement.
It amazes me how he can actually put into words, emotions which are often so hard to describe. You definitely have to check out his new album The Boy Who Never. My favourite track on it would be the song of the same name.
I tried to write down the lyrics by ear, since I couldn't find them online... You can find them below (or on songmeanings.net). Yeps I posted them up on there too...
The strongest structures ever built
Are the ones that don't get built at all
And the kinds of bricks that don't get laid
Are the only kind that never fall
He told himself how not to lose
By never really trying to win
That's how the man in front of you became
The boy who never
I'm afraid of what might happen if
Together we build a wall
Cause the only kind of love that never gets built
Is the only kind of love that never falls
So I'll forfeit future tears of joy to save us both from pain
I could kiss you now but I'd only miss you more
When I walk away
When I walk away
I never let my heart speak through my lips
I never let my hands rest on your hips
I never said 'I love you'
But a heart never lies
I know you heard me say it when I said it with my eyes
So I'll forfeit future tears of joy to save us both from pain
I could kiss you now but I'd only miss you more
He told himself how not to lose
By never really trying to win
That's how the man in front of you became
The boy who never
The boy who never...
Are the ones that don't get built at all
And the kinds of bricks that don't get laid
Are the only kind that never fall
He told himself how not to lose
By never really trying to win
That's how the man in front of you became
The boy who never
I'm afraid of what might happen if
Together we build a wall
Cause the only kind of love that never gets built
Is the only kind of love that never falls
So I'll forfeit future tears of joy to save us both from pain
I could kiss you now but I'd only miss you more
When I walk away
When I walk away
I never let my heart speak through my lips
I never let my hands rest on your hips
I never said 'I love you'
But a heart never lies
I know you heard me say it when I said it with my eyes
So I'll forfeit future tears of joy to save us both from pain
I could kiss you now but I'd only miss you more
He told himself how not to lose
By never really trying to win
That's how the man in front of you became
The boy who never
The boy who never...
And do check out his acting debut in the movie Whip It. I haven't watched it yet but since it was directed by Drew Barrymore, I'm kinda expecting something nice. Plus he's got an underwater kiss scene in the movie, which I've heard was pretty hot! haha.
