Songs I love: Place To Be

Written and performed by the amazing Nick Drake, the song was first featured on his final alum, Pink Moon (released in '72, when he was around 24 years old). I love the album and this song is one of  my favourites.




 When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older see it face to face
And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place.

And I was green, greener than a hill
Where flowers grew and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be.

And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day is done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you.

What's the song on your lips?

So, I was thinking about movies and the background score...esp. the song they play in the last scene...for me its like the conclusion for the movie...

Like in The Princess Diaries, the song that plays during the credits is "Miracles Happen" by Myra

You showed me faith is not blind,
I don't need wings to help me fly,
Miracles happen, once in a while,
When you believe...

As you know, that was not the END of the story (PD2 was on the cards), but only a significant incident in her(the princess') life. The last time something significant happened in my life, the song playing in my head was...

The end,
Its such a scary place to start,
Everything is torn apart,
Don't know where to go from here...

(The End by Jason Reeves)

God, I hate reality...


On a serious note, I really do wish we had a background score for life...you know...the good times and the bad times...hell, I even have a list ready...I just need someone to follow me around with an Ipod in hand...

I wonder what would be my LAST song...probably related to how I die...I wonder what song fits the description: "fell asleep in a hammock in Maui and never woke up"

Hey, a girl can dream, right?


Not that I dream of dying....I'm not *that* suicidal

Hell, I'm not suicidal at all...

I am hungry though...
