Home (RAC Mix) - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

“If you are a bird, then I’m a bird!” She said as she jumped into my arms.

“You’re such a dork, you know that?” I smirked.

She pouted, it was the most adorable pout I have ever seen. I couldn’t resist but smile every time she did.

“I know… but you like it.” Her long delicate fingers traced the outline of my lips.

I pulled her closer and tenderly whispered into her ear “Since I’m a bird, I’m going to swoop through the curves of your beautiful body and build a nest in your heart.”

“Home is wherever I’m with you.”

1904 - The Tallest Man On Earth

No longer do I look out towards the horizon and long to be somewhere else. No longer do I feel excluded when I listen to songs that pertain to matters of the heart. No longer am I envious of the birds that swiftly sway through the skies. Goodbye old woes. Life energizes my spirits once again as I feel the breeze of the American heartland flowing through my hair.

“And some would say it’s not even healthy but body is young and mind is sure that something is so right with your thinking.”

Chicago - Sufjan Stevens

I made alot of mistakes. Regrets linger in my mind from time to time, wishing I could go into the past and change the outcome. However, all things go. Even regrets wither away because I realize that whatever went wrong in the past was an invaluable lesson that has made me a better person. All things go. Every thing in our lives has a beginning and an end. Even though it’s sometimes hard, I try to live in the moment because I never know when it will all end.

“I made alot of mistakes, in my mind, in my mind.”

Slow & Steady - Sleeping at Last

My heart is a strange thing. It pounds heavily with nervousness and anticipation before a kiss. It flutters at seeing a simple smile. It stops when something seems too good to be true. It shrivels up in the fear of being hurt once again. It’s a fact of life that I will never know certainly what will happen. Whether love will flourish or falter is beyond my control, but not beyond my influence. When it comes to matters of the heart, I have realized that I need to take risks because I never know what I might be missing. I have make every moment count, even if the thought of it’s consequences terrify me. The unknown is a scary thing but I will keep going forth, slow and steady.

“Maybe the soul is the soil that holds the fallen seed. Or the light pouring down in between the rain clouds, daring life to reach. Or maybe it’s the rings in the trunk of the tree, a birthmark time will leave to measure the past.”

Michicant - Bon Iver

Between God and bearded lumberjacks, there is Bon Iver. His music is a lifetime of sorrow, beauty, and joy poured into every note and lyric as it stirs the soul in all the right places. Congratulations Bon Iver for winning the Grammy of Best New Artist, you truly deserve it.

“Love can hardly leave the room with your heart.”

In Ear Park - Department Of Eagles

Time stood still when your lips were upon mine. Everything around us was in chaos but we were stuck in moment where the world faded away. We enter a new reality where it was only you and I, forever entranced in serenity. What I love about you is your smile. It’s a sudden rush of pure joy with a hint of melancholy, and that is why you’re the pinnacle of perfection because you feel all emotion. You have a smile that can change the world, in a instant my entire paradigm is shifted to a feeling of heaven. Your eyes glow with lovestruck eyes, penetrating the very fabric of my soul and for some unknown reason I feel a part of something magical when I’m with you. I didn’t believe in magic until I saw you. I thought there was no way someone could be perfect for me until I got to know you. I thought it was impossible for me to be completely in love as I am with you. It really doesn’t matter what I say because words are futile devices, however you should know that I feel for you more than I have ever felt for anyone else before. You made me believe in fate, in a gravitational force between two beings constantly becoming closer. You are a reflection of everything I yearn for, a perfect mirror image of everything I wanted to believe but didn’t because I lost hope. You became that beacon of hope in my life, that shining tower leading my way ashore. I couldn’t imagine a life without you, such a thought is to hard to bear. So always remember that you have made an impression on me that I will never be able to forget. You have changed my life and made me a better man. I want to freeze time with you and make the world fade away. I want to feel your lips upon mine as chaos ensues arounds us and while you and I are encapsulated in a moment that lasts a lifetime. I want to feel the ecstasy of your skin touching mine. I want my soul to be penetrated by your gaze. I want you in every way possible, because you are heaven in female form.

“If you’d listen, you’ll hear the waves.”

Naked As We Came - Iron & Wine

You are afraid, and that is okay because most of us are afraid of many things. You are not the only one who fears to die unhappy, or to live forever lonely, or be stuck someplace you don’t want to be, or be eternally lost. We all fear something and it haunts us day after day. However, those fears rarely ever become true, they are just manifestations in our worried minds. So rest easy because everything is going to be alright. Smile at at the world so it can smile right back at you.

“One of us will die inside these arms.”

Lonely Boy - Matt Corby

She undressed me with her lovestruck auburn eyes. They shined right back at me with a piercing gaze and I was left motionless because I felt her penetrating my dormant soul. That’s what I love most about women, it’s the eyes. They contain an entire life story and with just a quick glance you can see everything, you can feel everything they felt. While words can spew the untrue and smiles can be faked, eyes never lie. That is where truth resides, in your beautiful eyes. That is where I can get lost in a moment of time-stopping bliss. That is what draws me in. That is what drives me mad.

“So you tore my heart out and I don’t mind bleeding.”
