really listening

so lately i've been into a lot of indie rock / some "slower" pop songs and actually listening to the lyrics and the underlying meanings. such as one of my favorites, sophie hawkins, as i lay me down. i love the lyrics and i carry it with me everywhere. 

It felt like spring time on this February morning

In a courtyard birds were singing your praise

I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright

I carried them with me today

Now

As I lay me down to sleep

This I pray

That you will hold me dear

Though I'm far away

I'll whisper your name into the sky

And I will wake up happy

I wonder why I feel so high

Though I am not above the sorrow

Heavy hearted

Till you call my name

And it sounds like church bells

Or the whistle of a train

On a summer evening

I'll run to meet you

Barefoot, barely breathing

As I lay me down to sleep

This I pray

That you will hold me dear

Though I'm far away

I'll whisper your name into the sky

And I will wake up happy

Oh, darlin'

As I lay me down to sleep

Ooh La Kah Koh

This I pray

That you will hold me dear

Though I'm far away

I'll whisper your name into the sky

And I will wake up happy

It's not too near for me

Like a flower I need the rain

Though it's not clear to me

Every season has it's change

And I will see you

When the sun comes out again

As I lay me down to sleep

This I pray

That you will hold me dear

Though I'm far away

I'll whisper your name into the sky

And I will wake up happy

(Repeat twice)

I wonder why... 

When the sun comes out again... 

I will wake up happy... 

This I pray...

they just.....idk speak to me....ever had one of those songs where it is like YOUR song! or whn you have a song that is perfect for somebody else but you are too scared to tell them..... i think that music is such a huge part of our lives, even if you are one of the most un-musical person on the face of the earth. the rhythm of your heart beating stead (hopefully) and pulse of your blood flowing through your body....it just

its a way of life

whether it is show tunes or pop or heavey metal.

music can express yourself in the way that you can't even imagine.

it can say what you can't and when you are at a completely loss of what to do it can guide you.....

i know. corny.

but i just.....

as stupid as this is i know every single person does have a song...somewhere .

it captures the true essence and what you truly are....

oui, la musique, c'est ma monde. (wow that sucked)
