There wasn't really a song that stuck out for me this month, but after going through my iTunes, I realized that I listened to "Stars" by Heart quite a bit this month. And why not, I'm not Stars' biggest fan -- I'll leave that to PB -- but this song really strikes a chord with me.

Other than the lyrics being very beautiful, I love the melody of the song. Also, the way the band does music is so relaxed and so calm, I can't help but get calmed by it. And now that I'm especially on edge, it doesn't hurt to just plug in and tune out.

Time can take its toll on the best of us,
Look at you you're growing old so young,
Traffic lights blink at you in the evening,
Tilt your head and turn into the sun,

Sometimes the T.V. is like a lover,
Singing softly as your fall asleep,
You wake up in the morning and it's still there,
Adding up the things you'll never be,

Alright, I can say what you want me to,
Alright, I can do all the things you do,
Alright, I'll make it all up for you,
I'm still in love with you,
I'm still in love with you,

You disembark the latest flight from paradise,
You almost turn your ankle in the snow,
You fall back into where you started,
Make up songs you used to know,
So...

The hard luck god,
You never had a chance you know,
Incurable romantics never do
He held a flame I wasn't born to carry,
I'll leave the dieing you stuff up to you,

You get back on the latest flight to paradise,
I found out, from a note taped to the door
I think I saw your airplane in the sky tonight,
Through my window, lying on the kitchen floor.

Alright, I can say what you want me to,
[I want more]
Alright, I can do all the things you do,
[Give me more]
Alright, I'll make it all up for you,
I'm still in love with you,
I'm still in love with you,
[I want more]
