merchant nightingales

did i mention to anyone that nightingale wants to get together to listen to shipwrecked? I almost spit my coffee out when reading the text message!

several years ago, sonbanon suggested natalie merchant's song "these are the days" to me...
I recently revisited this song and love it so much :) like a good piece of art, it evokes meaning every time i hear it.
(thanks sonbanon!!)

these are the days

these are days you'll remember

never before and never since, I promise
will the whole world be warm as this
and as you feel it, you'll know it's true
that you are blessed and lucky
it's true, that you are touched by something
that will grow and bloom in you

these are days you'll remember

when May is rushing over you with desire
to be part of the miracles you see in every hour
you'll know it's true, that you are blessed and lucky
it's true, that you are touched by something
that will grow and bloom in you

these are the days
you might fill with laughter
until you break

these days you might feel a shaft of light
make its way across your face
and when you do
you'll know how it was meant to be
see the signs and know their meaning
it's true
you'll know how it was meant to be
hear the signs and
know they're speaking to you
to you

shipwreck, nightingale, merchant
