hrvrd // black creame + acoustic version = our sunday best

The Charlotte, NC band of five formally known as Harvard have recently became the acronym HRVRD. This is a non-issue for die hard fans. Because the music is still unchanged and incredible, even though the vowels have been excised, not the talent.

Anyway, I recently stumbled upon a SXSW 2013 acoustic version of their beautiful track, “Black Creme,” and now I’m really smitten. This song simultaneously somehow stirs and calms my soul all at once. My only wish is that this fun-size ballad was longer, so I could wrap up in it like a dream.

The band’s new album From The Bird’s Cage is out now and you can get it at Amazon. Also, check out the lyrics after the jump. Enjoy!

Review by Teddi Stavee

When the world starts to change
Life rearranged
This is bigger than you
This is better

All that you give
Continues to live
This is bigger than you
This is better

I’ll be the silent
Calm loving eyes
This is bigger than you
This is better

It was today
The strangest of days
This is bigger than you
This is better
With you
Better with you
So much better

The smile, the wave
The dirt above the grave
This is bigger than you
This is better

Was a harmless desire
Arousing the fire?
This is bigger than you
This is better

And I don’t know why
I continue to hide
This is bigger than you
This is better

All that you give
Continues to live
This is bigger than you
This is better
Better
With you
So much better
With you
