Souvent je suis une ombre...

une ombre de les autres autour de moi. A reflection, a copy, heavily influenced by... Sometimes it makes me wonder who I am.


One time I saw Paul Dempsey play a piano version of "Back To You" and I wanted to cry. It was at The Metro (so unfortunately I was a part of a huge crowd, I wished it was a more intimate performance so I could have had a better view). He prefaced it by saying that he was just newly learning the piano and was giving it ago. Guys playing piano... it has to be one of the Top 10 Sweetest Things in my book. Anyway. I like how the lyrics of this song kind of fit with the ideas swirling around my head.


Something For Kate - Back To You (piano version)


quietly
and gracefully
you move around the weight of the evidence
forever side stepping your own shadow and knowing
only what you wanna know
what you wanna know (x2)
says drama queen we're leaving
say your goodbyes for the hundred millionth time
this house is pushing us out
it's just turning heads now
sweet thing
with hopes like that
you're gonna need help
sweet thing
with hopes like that
you're gonna need help
avoiding the facts
ooh ooh
one of these days (x2)
i find myself talking to ghosts
and there's no such thing as a stupid question
but i watch her making so much noise
that she thinks that she can win them over
win them over
i watch her making so much noise
that she thinks that she can win them over
win them over
but i have a compass
i watch the sundial
and i defy gravity just to get myself
back to you




The real SFK song that kills me is "You Only Hide..." and "Pinstripe". I got that version up there from their album Phantom Limbs.

Anyway,

Cathrine
