The Violet Hour

This an unreleased song by Sea Wolf called "The Violet Hour" for the New Moon Soundtrack in stores and online October 16th. Sea Wolf describes themselves in a Vanity Fair interview as a folk-rock band with "sea-shanty instrumentation." Alex Brown Church of Sea Wolf told Vanity Fair that he wrote the song about a girl who is interested in him, but she is somewhat distant and aloof. He is unsure whether she is leading him on or not, and adds a sexy attitude to the Soundtrack. The sound is up-beat, but the lyrics give a dark and steamy tone. The song is said to be played in the movie during a house-party scene. This much anticipated album with big names such as Radiohead's Thom Yorke, Death Cab For Cutie, and The Killers are also accompanied with indie-rock gems Bon Iver, St. Vincent, Lykke Li, and Grizzly Bear. This genius collaboration of small and large indie-rock acts make this album reach the Top 10 albums on iTunes.

[Verse 1] Your lips are nettles Your tongue is wine Your laughter's liquid But your body is pine You love all sailors but hate the beach You say come touch me But you're always out of reach [Chorus] In the dark you tell me of a flower That only blooms in the violet hour [Verse 2] Your arms are lovely Yellow and rose Your back's a meadow covered in snow Your thighs are thistles and hothouse grapes You breathe a sweet breath and have me wait [Chorus] In the dark you tell me of a flower That only blooms in the violet hour [Bridge] I turn the lights out I clean the sheets You change the station Turned up the heat And now you're setting upon your chair You got me tangled up inside your beautiful black hair [Chorus] In the dark you tell me of a flower That only blooms in the violet hour [Outro] In the dark you tell me of a flower That only blooms in the violet hour
