it is knowing you are there that makes me fine
Got up early this morning for an exciting but unrelated reason and ended up watching Obama's acceptance speech over breakfast. If I didn't already like him I sure would now. I was teary-eyed through pretty much the entire speech because hope, apparently, turns me even sappier than I already was. How freaking cool would it be to have a president and a government that I felt had my best interests at heart? It warms my cynical little heart it does.
The rest of my life is pretty much filled with Doctor Who and work lately. I've been super busy which is good 'cause all that vacationing took a totally worthwhile a toll on my bank account. BUT, while working yesterday, my mind wandering as it does, I had a revelation that Warmer Climate by Snow Patrol is TOTALLY about Jack and The Doctor (except for the bit about the dress but who's to say The Doctor's never worn a dress I'm sure he has at some point). Jack POV. Plus, it's just a good song IMO and my favorite off Eyes Open even if it is a British release only extra track. Have a listen.
Tell me if I'm going crazy
But everything you said amazed me
Seems to easy on the ear to
Be something I should adhere to
You told me to just simply wander
Rather than take shelter under
And open my heart to the thought that
Life is something you're not caught at
Too easy to get lost in progress
I didn't see you there in that dress
And suddenly the world seems so small
We'd fit it all inside our front hall
Edison would spin in his grave
To ever see the light that you gave
Don't want to take it nice and slow here
Don't want to waste a minute more, dear
The universe just vanished out of sight
And all the stars collapsed behind the pitch black night
And I can barely see your face in front of mine
But it is knowing you are there that makes me fine
Maybe it's the warmer climate
Maybe I'm a smarter primate
Maybe it's the beer I'm drinking
Maybe I've stopped over-thinking
Baby you're the words and chapters
The sweetness in the morning after
You are the cry that turns to laughter
You're the hope that ends disaster
The universe just vanished out of sight
And all the stars collapsed behind the pitch black night
And I can barely see your face in front of mine
But it is knowing you are there that makes me fine
But the universe is just an empty space
And all the stars can disappear without a trace
And I'm so glad that this has taken so long
'cause it's the journey that made me so strong
ETA: Smiley Faces is a very excellent Torchwood vid that you all should go watch. It is full of (as femmenerd said) bouncy angst and that is a lovely lovely thing.
