Day 7 - 20 Lines in 20 Days

The next song on the is another surprise. One you will remember, but one I don't mention that often. However, it is a pretty haunting song.

While I know you hate R.E.M. Michael Stipe can really add some emotion to a song. He does so in the entry. The song is "You are the everything" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87eXabsf9mc). It is really pretty. There is one section in the song where he talks about some pretty ordinary stuff in life. Then he ends the verse with the haunting "you are the everything". Here is that verse:

"I think about this world a lot and I cry
And I've seen the films and the eyes
But I'm in this kitchen
Everything is beautiful
And she is so beautiful
She is so young and old
I look at her and I see the beauty
Of the light of music
The voices talking somewhere in the house
Late spring and you're drifting off to sleep
With your teeth in your mouth
You are here with me
You are here with me
You have been here and you are everything"

The verse basically indicates that no matter what, no matter how simple or insignificant the girls does she is beauty. Because of that beauty he realizes she is the everything. I think you are beautiful in so many ways. The way look. The way you smile. The way you think. The way you laugh. In every way I see beauty in you. Like looking at a painting that tells a million stories. You are the everything. Our lives, our 20 years, may have had ordinary moments, but as long as you were there they were beautiful. They were perfect.

I picked the line "I look at her and I see the beauty of the light of music". Given the poem it seems to fit best and I couldn't use the whole verse.

You're the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
