We are into the top 10 now. The top 10 songs/lines of our 20 years together. Now technically these aren't ranked (well sort of not ranked as you will see) but we are officially in the final countdown.
Today's song is one I think is really more about you and the way your wonderful mind works. Much of the song really doesn't fit but there is one part that is so romantic I can't help but think of you when I hear it. The song is about someone who has been through much and yet somehow still shines. SO maybe there is some of you in there, but the "still shines" part is clearly you.
The song is the 2nd Counting Crows entry. If you remember from an earlier post they are actually a whole band i dedicate to you. You are the reason I love them so. The song is "Recovering the Satellites" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjW6XOIQQ7g). Adam really wails on this song. He has so much emotion in his voice. I am not sure how it affects or what it means to him but it is powerful.
Once of my favorite verses remind me of you pretty clearly:
"Maybe you were shot down in pieces
Maybe I slipped in between
But we were gonna be the wildest people they ever hoped to see
Just you and me
So why'd you come home to this sleepless town
It's a lifetime commitment
Recovering the satellites
All anybody really wants to know is...
when you gonna come down"
The song to me is about two people who really weren't sure where they were headed until the found each other. "Maybe I slipped in between" means to me that maybe I found that one perfect moment where we both knew for the first time in a long time that we found that person. Maybe I am wrong. But I know that had I not found you my life would be terribly different. What I have now is because I found you.
The line I picked comes from a verse I know I have turned up in the car just for you to hear. I think it is poetry all on its own.
"She sees shooting stars and comet tails
She's got heaven in her eyes
She says I don't need to be an angel
But I'm nothing if I'm not this high
But we only stay in orbit
For a moment of time
And then you're everybody's satellite
I know that you were mine"
The line that goes into the poem is "She sees shooting stars and comet tails - She's got heaven in her eyes". I smiled just typing it.
You're the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
