Your music is beautiful, your voice is beautiful, your words are beautiful; they push buttons I never knew I had. Inexplicable tears fell down my cheek. Paradoxical emotions were stirred. Never have I felt so alone, yet loved. Sad, yet cautiously optimistic. Satisfied, yet wistful.
Why do I apply meaning to a song that I have yet to identify whatever name, face, or significant life moment I've associated with it? Why am I so certain I haven't even made said association? It's completely illogical, so much that it seems ridiculous that my eyes should even begin to water in the first place. Maybe I've only convinced myself that I've made sense of it all. But indecision isn't easily turned into unmitigated temerity (ever since Sigmar's class, those two words have always gone together and I've been waiting to use 'em).
The more I listen to the cd, the less I am sure I know. But that was already little to begin with.
What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
*note: and these aren't even his best.*
I joined Brandi in her room to watch them on Leno; it was by far the most intense, but absolutely glorious, 5 minutes of the night. As if the music and words weren't enough, throwing his deeply expressive eyes into the mix surely sent chills down my spine. *sigh*
Or maybe the "Stewart sensitivity gene" is reason for the waterworks. There is no legitimate explanation. I can't even come up with another song that I feel similarly about.
Jason Wade, you are incredible.
