Okay, i have decided in light of recent events, and a sudden desire to, that i am going to post one song each day from an album that means alot to me. I know it seems quite a "cheesey" thing to do, posting song lyrics. But i see these songs not just as words just thrown onto paper, but meaningful verses that i wouldn't just type out onto the internet if i didn't think they wouldn't resonate with people. Their deeper meaning is hidden only by their simplicity. Plus the album they are from is one of the greatest albums of modern times, in my opinion at least.
I hope that you enjoy them at least half as much as i do. I'm putting these here so i can read them without having to refer to the booklet all the time! I also thought that certain people might enjoy them. The album is in a journal form, the actual lyrics sung in the song will be obvious.
Okay, because the album has an intro track, i shall post that along with the first "proper" track. Here goes....
June 22 - Somewhere in the desert.
Journal entry 1 - "Summer Solstice"
I can feel it in the air, i know that my time is approaching. The only caertainty i feel is the one for the memories i will gain in the coming months. I pray that i can grow from this experience....
I am the blade of grass
trembling in the breeze
affected by surroundings.
I am the lava
whose path nothing can stop
changing the land for better or for worse.
i am the forest
The one being cut down to size
Only the owls know the secrets that i keep.
I am the sail
the one standing in awe of the wind
Amazed by the great lengths it carries me.
I am a student
The one with an eager mind
I have the most left to learn.
All i see is white.
I can honestly say i haven't felt this way in years. It's as if i was born today, born to set sail the prairie.....
