A Thousand Miles…
Here I am, just spending my afternoon after work doing the usual. One thing I really enjoy is just browsing through the web for up and coming, unheard of artists. Thanks to avenues like facebook and twitter, I have found a lot of great indie musicians whose music is honest, albeit not-so-mainstream.
One of these rare finds is Tony Lucca. He’s one amazing singer/ songwriter. As I opened the link to one of his vids, I knew after a minute of listening into the song, that it will be amazing. Watch it HERE.
I thought of a few good friends who are in long distance relationships right now, and I thought this song captured what some of how it might feel to be in a situation like that. The lyrics go:
“I watch the sunset, while you watch it rise.
Flame colored teardrops burn in my eyes.
While you find another day, thousands of miles away.
One more night finds me alone, holding on
To the simple and sweetest thought of you-
It’s you, it’s you.
I’ll out dance the ocean, parade in the sand.
Waiting for you, I’ll wait like no other man.
For you to come into me, lay skin to skin with me.
Making me smile and smile-it’s been a while.
Still, making my memories come true.
It’s you, it’s you.
I told her all my thoughts on loneliness.
Shared with her all my fears of afraid.
Maybe there’s no point trying to paint the picture,
Wondering what if she could’ve stayed.
So don’t send me no letters, I won’t drop you no line.
Things will get better, baby in due time.
Just keep me in your prayer and I’ll keep you right here-
Deep in this heart of mine, cause I find,
The only thing that helps me make it through
Is you, it’s you.”
Somehow, this song also made sense to me. Although you might not be separated physically from someone, it may also be the same thing if emotionally, you are not on the same page with a person. It’s like being night and day. And yet, you just let it go, and pray that if you and that other person is meant to be, it will happen. Because no matter how hard you try, that person IS special to you. And just thinking of whoever that is, gets you through the day.
Special shout out to B & G. Wishing you all the best. =)
