current mood:
hopefulOh Laura - Release Me*
I am the wilderness locked in a cage
I am a growing force you kept in place
I am a tree reaching for the sun please don't hold me down
Please don't hold me down
currently listening to it on a loop
meant to look for it after briefly catching the saab advert once and a mention on radio one that it was on their website,
thanks to moneysavingexpert I found it.
that advert is beautiful - looks like it's going to be like one of the save the environment/anti polution ones from the early 90's (shame it isn't)
You can watch it and download the mp3 here http://www.saab.co.uk/main/GB/en/index.h
(shame saab don't credit the artist &/or link to their site - too busy plugging their car.)
a bit of digging on google for the lyrics found this blog -http://koko.pelli.co.uk/
reading it while listening to the song moved me to tears

bit of confusion as to whether they're called Laura or Oh Laura
Laura - Release me
I am the wilderness locked in a cage
I am a growing force you kept in place
I am a tree reaching for the sun please don't hold me down
Please don't hold me down
I am a rolling wave without the motion
A glass of water longing for the ocean
I am an asphalt flower breaking free
But you keep stopping me
Release me
I am a growing force you kept in place
I am a tree reaching for the sun please don't hold me down
Please don't hold me down

Release me
Release me
I am the rain that's coming down on you
That you shielded yourself from with a roof
I am the fire burning desperately
But you're controlling me
That you shielded yourself from with a roof
I am the fire burning desperately
But you're controlling me
