Interesting...
I'm going to listen to Forever Blue now.

I've been quoted on this one before too:

"I'm in love with a girl who's in love with the world
and I can't help but follow
though I know someday she is bound to go away
and stay over the rainbow
gotta learn how to let her go
over the rainbow "
- Amos Lee 'Keep it Loose, Keep it Tight'

The first line of this reminds me of an Elliott Smith song called "Say Yes" that begins with "I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl"... it's like the yin to that other lyric's yang! haha.

This post is how I feel about a lot of songs...some that come to mind for me are the songs "Waltz #2" by Elliott Smith, "Crucify" by Tori Amos, and "In the Fade" by Queens of the Stone Age.

Those songs really do compliment each other! Must go listen to 'Say Yes' now...

And that's what I love about, everyone has that special song (or songs) that make them feel that way.
