A brief discussion with Mr T reminded me of a song that means more to me now than it did at the time.
I'll leave it to Mr T to post that song,
Mine is
As far as I can guess it is about putting on a brave face to be with your loved one. It brings me to tears every time. In my 20s it was just a song that I liked.
[Verse]We live on a mountain right at the topThere's a beautiful view from the top of the mountainEvery morning I walk towards the edgeAnd throw little things offLike car parts, bottles, and cutleryOr whatever I find lying around
[Pre-Chorus]It's become a habitA way to start the day
[Chorus]I go through all this before you wake upSo I can feel happier to be safe up here with youI go through all this before you wake upSo I can feel happier to be safe up here with you
[Verse]It's early morning, no one is awakeI'm back at my cliff, still throwing things offI listen to the sounds they make on their way downI follow with my eyes till they crashI imagine what my body would sound likeSlamming against those rocks
I listened to Talking Heads when I was a teenager and into my 20’s. I really enjoyed their music, it was just there and on the radio and jukeboxes. It was different.A few months ago ‘I disappeared down a rabbit hole’ and now they mean so much more to me.
This is my go to track at least once a day.
Life During Wartime. (Live)
