Hey Rosetta!- Psalm

So I have listened to this song like a hundred times. It is beautiful and melancholy and good to listen to with your eyes closed. To me it is full of sorrow and longing and grace, but you can draw your own conclusions. The lyrics are:

But often it happens you know
That the things you don't trust are the ones you need most
So it's cautiously into the dark
But you see before long that your eyes will adjust
And under the night you can hear
The full moon rise like a psalm in the air
And the air goes into your lungs
And around in your heart and on through your blood
It goes cautiously into the dark
And you see before long that we all have a part
And under your skin you can feel
That the fear that you feel is what will set you free

And under the night you can hear
The full moon rise like a psalm in the air
And the air goes into your lungs

Another good song and lyrics

Bowl of Oranges- Bright Eyes
The rain had started tapping
On the window near my bed
There was a loophole in my dreaming
So I got out of it
And to my surprise my eyes were wide
And already open
Just my nightstand and my dresser
Where those nightmares had just been

So I dressed myself and left then
Out into the gray streets
But everything seemed different
Completely new to me
The sky, the trees, houses, buildings
Even my own body
And each person I encountered
I couldn't wait to meet

And I came upon a doctor
Who appeared in quite poor health
I said, "There's nothing I can do for you
You can't do for yourself"
He said, "Oh, yes you can, just hold my hand
I think that that would help"
So I sat with him a while
And I asked him how he felt
He said, "I think I'm cured
No, in fact I'm sure of it
Thank you stranger
For your theraputic smile"

So that's how I learned the lesson
That everyone's alone
And your eyes must do some raining
If you're ever gonna grow
When crying don't help, you can't compose yourself
It's best to compose a poem
An honest verse of longing
Or a simple song of hope

That's why I'm singing, baby, don't worry
Because now I've got your back
And every time you feel like crying
I'm gonna try to make you laugh
And if I can't, if it just hurts too bad
Then we'll wait for it to pass
And I will keep you company
Through those days so long and black

We'll keep working on the problem
We know we'll never solve
Of love's uneven remainders
Our lives are fractions of a whole
But if the world could remain within a frame
Like a painting on a wall
Then I think we'd see the beauty then
And stand staring in awe

At our still lives posed
Like a bowl of oranges
Like a story told
By the fault lines and the soil

Good Lyrics & Song

The Fray- You Found Me
I found God on the corner of 1st and Amistad
Where the West was all but won
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
I said, "Where've you been?" He said, "Ask anything."

Where were you, when everything was falling apart.
All my days were spent by the telephone that never rang
And all I needed was a call that never came
To the corner of 1st and Amistad

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor, surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me.

But in the end everyone ends up alone
Losing her, the only one who's ever known
Who I am, who I'm not and who I wanna to be
No way to know how long she will be next to me

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor, surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me.

The early morning, the city breaks
And I've been calling for years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve taking all I want

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor, Where were you? Where were you?

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor, surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me.

Why'd you have to wait, to find me, to find me?

So, I just returned home from a weekend at the Gaelic College in Cape Breton. Great experience.
Everything Scottish is awesome. Think about it. Its true.

One Valentine's Day

I usually don't like this holiday because it is one holiday that has a catch. It has strings attached. In order to be older than about 12 and celebrate Valentine's Day you must be in a relationship. Well the last few years I have just mostly sat at home and felt sorry for myself on this particular day of the year, but this year it was great! Valentine's of 2009 was my favourite in my memory. It was on a Saturday, and I got to sleep in which is something I rarely do. Then my mum made me brunch, which was kind of her. Then my sister and I made Valentine's Cards, and we went to a local Senior's Residence to give them out and we played Trivial Pursuit with some elderly ladies. They were pretty forgetful, but they knew some answers like the capital of New Brunswick (Fredericton) and Napoleon's last name (Bonaparte). It was Trivial Pursuit Jr. There was a little girl also spending Valentine's Day with the seniors, and she made me a card. It turned out to be the only card I got, which is kind of funny, but it was a very sweet card with a poem (roses are red...). After we went to the Senior's Home, we went to Tim Horton's. My town has like seven Tim Horton's and it is pretty much impossible to get from "A" to "B" without passing one. So we got French Vanillas, the love of my life. I was also with my wonderful sister and Mum. Then we went to a local second-hand store which has all kinds of clothes and stuff. It is probably my favourite store ever. When I go to college, I will miss this store for sure. And I went there on Valentine's Day! And I got two tops! Just so y'all know. That night, we stayed at home and ate pizza (its not delivery...). And did I mention that throughout the entire day, it was lightly snowing in the perfect fluffy way? Well, it was, and it was perfect. That evening, we watched a movie called Fireproof. It is a really low budget film, made by a church in like Georgia or something, but is really good. Anyway, last night I went to bed feeling a peace and contentness that I haven't felt in ages. And I thought, if someday I can find someone who makes me feel like that, I will stay with them forever.

February 14

Happy Valentine's Day! :)
