Reality's Musicality

There are two stanzas in an obscure song by an obscure midwestern band that most intimately express the hurt and the hope of my heart. It almost always puts tears in my eyes.

Go check out www.myspace.com/sleepingatlast and listen to "Needle and Thread

The verse:

They say this place has changed
but strip away all of the technology
and you will see that we all are hunters
hunting for something that will make us OK...

And then:

"You were a million years of work"
said God and his angels with needle and thread.
They kissed your head and said
"You're a good kid and you make us proud,
so just give your best and the rest we'll come and we'll see you soon."

Feeling a tad overmatched tonight, but I'm looking forward to keeping a promise tomorrow.


Godspeed
