song #2

and here's the second song

"words and music"
sondre lerche

you be words, and i'll be music

ain't you heard, that's how they do it?
you're a poem when you're on your own
i'll try not to get in your way
but of all the poems i have known, baby, you give me something to say

i'll be words, and you'll be music
i concur, i can't refuse it
you're a sad little tune by yourself
so lovely i wanna sing along
if there's one thing i know i can tell, when we get together we're a song

whenever i'm with you it's true it's
everything you say and do it's
words & music, you & i

listen here, i've gotta say it
it's so clear, the way we should play it
i will carry you, together we'll float through the sky
we can marry too, together just look at us fly

whenever i'm with you it's true it's
everything you say and do it's
words & music, you & i

when we fight it's rock & roll
when we make it up, it's soul
and in the meanwhile, freestyle, play-by-ear, improvise
it's clear we go together, it's been like this forever
you & i and words & music

whenever i'm with you it's true it's
everything you say and do it's true
you and i are, you and i are
you and i are words & music


isn't that such a sweet song?

happy new year! and....a quarter of a century

happy new year, my friends! i hope you celebrated in a fun way and were with people you love :) i was able to see some friends i never get to see new year's eve...and then was back at my parents' house by around 10:15...and was in bed by 11:30.... i did not stay awake to welcome in 2010, but i'm ok with that :) in other news, i'll be a quarter of a century old in a week. 25... i'm not one to freak out about my age (at least not yet) but 25 is a good year, i think. and in honor of my turning 25, i've decided to make lists of 25. because it'll be fun, and who doesn't love a good list? and because i spent yesterday traveling, the first list is a travel list, but is by no means complete or comprehensive....there's no way i could make a full list of everywhere i've been or would like to go.... so, enjoy!! 25 places i've traveled or would like to travel (red = where i've been, blue = where i'd like to go) 1. new orleans,...

motivation!

i think you should know that as i was typing the title to this post, i was singing it to a made up tune in my head... i have two papers due next week. one massive one and one that won't be so difficult. this means however, that i have less than a week to finish both of them and that means that i cannot spend any time doing anything other than work, school, or writing/researching. but. i've developed this "fall break is almost here, i don't want to do anything important right now" mentality. which is curious since i'll be doing school stuff all during fall break simply to catch up and then get ahead a little. so tonight, as i am about to get started on my work, i made a "motivation sheet!" that i can look at when i want to give up: using that verse might be a bit of a stretch, since i doubt the writer was thinking about writing 20 pg papers when he said it, but it seemed to fit. it includes baking and crafting and spending time with people, of cours...

pigeon love

yesterday, i was walking to my car and heard a pigeon. this is not especially unusual because there are pigeons all over the place, their presence just outside my house encouraged by the bird feeder hanging from one of the trees. however, this pigeon caught my attention because it was loud, close and sounded strange. i looked down and saw this pigeon essentially pacing back and forth by the wheels of a car.... where his pigeon friend had been the wheel's unfortunate victim and was no longer with us.  y'all... the pigeon was mourning the loss of his friend. it was so sad and sweet and touching.  i honestly wish i had had a camera to capture the moment. but it got me thinking. about friends, family, community, etc. being missed. don't we all want to be missed and mourned like the poor pigeon was? the kind of people that make the world, our communities, our families, and our friendships better because we are a part of them? and isn't that wh...
