sotd for tuesday

it’s been a while since we’ve done one of these. I love this song. Very, very much. This song resounds to me the following memories:

  • Sitting in the back of Jo-anne’s car, the day she and Trac got their tattoos, and talking loudly, and they stopped everything, came over and gave me a hug. I was having a monumentally bad day and they lifted my world.
  • Standing in row at concert with my brother and he and I singing Sooooo badly along, whilst he air-guitared. Both times, both concerts. We shouldn’t do karaoke. Ever. Wah.
  • One night, aaaaaaaaaages ago, dancing like a mad person in the road i grew up in, with Jo and Trac. (fuck, i miss them, we’re all mothers now! when the hell did that happen!?! waha!)
  • It was playing in the store the day the twelve Rand man arrived. Waha.

Anyway, here it is:

SOTD: Run to the water – Live.

it’s as crazy as it’s ever been
love’s a stranger all around

in a moment we lost our minds here
and lay our spirit down
today we lived a thousand years
all we have is now

run to the water
and find me there
burnt to the core but not broken
we’ll cut through the madness
of these streets below the moon
these streets below the moon

and I will never leave you
’til we can say, “this world was just a dream
we were sleepin’ now we are awake”
’til we can say

in a moment we lost our minds here
and dreamt the world was round
a million mile fall from grace
thank god we missed the ground

run to the water
and find me there
burnt to the core but not broken
we’ll cut through the madness
of these streets below the moon
with a nuclear fire of love in our hearts

yeah, I can see it now lord
out beyond all the breakin’ of waves
and the tribulation
it’s a place and the home of ascended souls
who swam out there in love!

run to the water
and find me there
burnt to the core but not broken
we’ll cut through the madness
of these streets below the moon
with a nuclear fire of love in our hearts
rest easy baby, rest easy
and recognize it all as light and rainbows
smashed to smithereens and be happy
run to the water (and find me there)
run to the water
