Perfect Stranger

I've been catching up on my Zane Lowe listening on the internet. He played a live session by Magnetic Man who won this year's Mercury Music Prize. One of the tracks they performed was "Perfect Stranger" I hadn't heard this track, as I listened I felt my heart warm and I had to stop and listen a couple of times.

Sorry I've tried to post a video...not happening so go to:

It's beautiful, and I felt described someone's spiritual journey. It reminded me of John the Baptist, the disciples in the boat after Jesus had calmed the storm. Mary Magdalene's relationship with Jesus, the woman at the well and Saul on the road to Damascus.
Here are the lyrics:

i didn't have to turn around
i could feel him in the back of my brain
when i step into the crowd
something told me that i'll meet you today

your energy when you touch me
lifted me off the ground
your words to me are like music

i don't know who you are
all i really know is theres something in your heart
that makes me feel its a new start
all i really know is theres something in your heart

are you from another world
i've never seen someone who looks like you
beautiful stranger how do you do
told me is there something i could do for you

your energy when you touch me
lifted me off the ground
your words to me are like music

i don't know who you are
all i really know is theres something in your heart
that makes me feel its a new start
all i really know is theres something in your heart

something (x9)
oh theres something theres something i can see there
something (x9)
oh theres something theres something i can see there
something (x3)

i don't know who you are
all i really know is theres something in your heart
that makes me feel its a new start
all i really know is theres something in your heart (x2)

something (x3)
oh theres something theres something i can see there
(x4)
