I Blame You Not – Mara Carlyle
So, I’ve not posted a video before, but I could think of no better way of making you look at this. It’s amazing. I love her voice so much. Look for Baby Bloodheart also. Then buy her album ‘The Lovely’ as it is incredible in its entirety. Also visit her micebase for an excellent cover of Hey by the Pixies only with totally different words and stuff.
She’s got a voice that could rip your heart in two and she tends to talk about that process in her songs.
Check this out for the best words in the best order:
Once I knew someone who was so in love with someone
She cried blood-red lovehearts from her eyes
Her love knew well how her love could swell
She was Baby Bloodheart
And he was her beau…And her cheeks glowed red with tears she shed
And her lips shake with the love they make
She could explode, she feels it so
And he knows…and he knows
He’s Baby Bloodheart’s beauOnce I heard Baby and her lover loving to each other
This is what I heard….he said:
“Stay with me, Baby Baby
Let me be everything your Bloodheart needs
Cos I love you so…”She said:
“Oh my god…I can hardly breathe
this love is bursting through my heart and lungs
I’m afraid this love may lift me off this bed
So hold me down!”Her cheeks glowed red with tears she shed
And her lips shake with the love they make
She could explode, she feels him so
And he knows…and he knows
He’s Baby Bloodheart’s beau…
Then listen to her sing and hear her voice bursting through her heart and lungs as she sings about it. The other version of the video is more fun, but the voice doesn’t carry as well on the audio.
So there you go. Eat more records.


Baby I could never hold you down
Never fear
cos I love you so
your love
