Music in the morning

i
i'm thinking it's a sign
that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images
and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned

pandora just played one of my favorite songs (such great heights by snow patrol) and above is my favorite lyric. i love it both for the sentiment it evokes as well as its poetic aural qualities. at georgetown i had to take a 19th C poetry class and learned all about meter, iambs, enjambment, etc. sometimes i miss the type of academic literary analysis we had to do in english classes. but somehow i still havent finished this month's book club book [meeting is on sunday]... never said i wasn't a procrastinator.

What's your favorite song and/or song lyric? reply in the comments

Rather than bombard your blog with quotes from "Britney Spears" or some other artist who has a hit on the top 40 pop charts... I'm going to reveal my favorite quote which comes from Gandhi: "be the change you wish to see in this world."

Dearest Candy:

I'm not much of a blogger but I love music so I will participate.

Favorite lyric:

"I've done things that I can't defend
Honest sins of an honest man
Take me back to where this all began"

It's a song by a Tampa artist, Will Quinlan. He has the best lyrics!

Heart,
Laura
