ADORE

IF ONLY I DIDN'T WANT THE WORLD
I WOULDN'T MAKE YOU FEEL SO SAD
I'M SURE MY SHAME WOULD BE GONE
IS IT HUMAN TO ADORE LIFE

IF ONLY I'D HIDDEN MY LUST
AND STARVED A LITTLE BIT MORE
IF ONLY I DIDN'T ASK FOR MORE
IS IT HUMAN TO ADORE LIFE

I ADORE LIFE

IF ONLY I'D LIVED BEYOND REGRET
I WOULDN'T FEEL GUILT FOR WHAT I TAKE
IS IT HUMAN TO ASK FOR MORE
IS IT HUMAN TO ADORE LIFE

I KNOW EVIL WHEN I SEE IT
I KNOW GOOD AND I JUST DO IT
IF I HADN'T BEEN SO STARVED
IS IT HUMAN TO ADORE LIFE

I UNDERSTAND THE URGENCY OF LIFE
IN THE DISTANCE THERE IS TRUTH WHICH CUTS LIKE A KNIFE
MAYBE I WILL DIE MAYBE TOMORROW SO I NEED TO SAY

I ADORE LIFE

IF ONLY I HAD BEEN MORE SHY
AND HID EVERY TEAR I CRIED
IF ONLY I DIDN'T WISH TO DIE
IS IT HUMAN TO ADORE LIFE

IF ONLY I DIDN'T CARE SO MUCH
FOR THE FEEL OF YOUR COLD COLD TOUCH
IN EVERY BED I LEAVE BEHIND
IS IT HUMAN TO ADORE LIFE

I UNDERSTAND THE URGENCY OF LIFE
IN THE DISTANCE THERE IS TRUTH WHICH CUTS LIKE A KNIFE
MAYBE I WILL DIE MAYBE TOMORROW SO I NEED TO SAY

I ADORE LIFE

I ADORE LIFE
DO YOU ADORE LIFE?

heard this on the originals and i instantly fell in love with the flow and rhythm, even though it’s not the type of music i listen to, it hits different

Aurora - The Originals - Perfect Music <3

Everything about this song is amazing. Even the minimalist video is something to behold.

Just saw the Savages live tonight. In the past 8 months or so, I've see the Deftones, Incubus, Tool, and countless other acts and local KC bands. But this band has got me. The best live show I've seen since I can remember. I haven't been so excited about Rock and Roll music or a "new" band since I was in high school (over 12 years ago). If rock was ever dead, then to life they've brought it back. 4 people 4 instruments. No DJ, No synth, no choir, no brass, just pure rock and Roll.

I like the constant bass going through the song. Its nice when a song focuses on the bass, I feel it sounds great in rock music

[Dorypowa]

the singer is very intense when she sings, but her voice seems so calm, it is so strange, i like it

[pgarande]

I love how textured and heavy this sound is!! That distortion!!!

[LibraChick]

Dare Me brought me here...Great song to end the season with!!!! Come on USA, give us a second season

[curtisdoyle]

This song does something to me and I can't explain it. It's at once heartbreaking, uplifting and endlessly mesmerising. I feel like this is going to be a great record.

[awrygargoyle]

This song could go on forever. I wish I had seen them play it live and lasting 10 minutes of crescendo

[alvinaquino]

Jenny Beth's haunting vocals! Timeless!

[giovannigee]

This is one of their best songs.. period! Where it might not have the immediate in-your-face impact as some of their earlier work, this song makes up for it in its ability to captivate with its strong dramatic ending.. it makes the silent moments even more profound. the song grew on me with every listen. This is Quality song writing and musical composition at its best. EXCELLENT WORK!

[NOLFEKNG]

Just heard this on the originals. Had to hear it again.

[seeming]

"I understand the urgency of life" = a nice response to Morrissey's "They do not understand the urgency of life" in "Angel, Angel, Down We Go Together."

[doctordentistesquire]

Now is the time for Savages to put out a new album. They would blow up. Perfect time!!!

[lexhowell]

Heard this on Riverdale and I am so glad it was in the episode because this song is breathtakingly beautiful and needs to be heard by more.

[FossilFishy]

Fucking hell! The thing that grabbed me and crushed down hard was how that line "I adore life." was presented not as a statement, but as a goddamn challenge. A challenge both in the sense of "I adore life, and nothing you assholes do will change that" and in the explicit call to arms at the end for us to join her in that adoration. Fan-fucking-tastic. The very embodiment of Lydon's 'Anger is an energy' used for positive good.

[lubacioban]

The Originals brought me here. The show always features great artists.

[Quetange]

Where does her voice come from?! It's amazing, it feels like her voice is coming from everywhere but her body. Towards the end of the song, at 04:43... wow, what a unique singer, great attitude.

[soniaptr]

Such a "Nick Cave song". I adore the bass. So fucking intense. I saw you guys in Athens and it was like one of the most dynamic concerts ever. Keep going
