The "I c...That sounds like a beautiful night!<br /><br />The "I could be your size" line is one of the ones that I thought could sound boastful in the wrong context. Sort of like John Lennon's <i>"No one I think is in my tree... it must be high or low."</i> In both cases, the only real fact put forward is "Gosh, I'm different." Whether that's good or bad is left up for debate! :-)Cygnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394890573443379954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63753090450546412.post-79320750211252976412013-11-10T03:41:13.964-07:002013-11-10T03:41:13.964-07:00Thanks, Michelle.

It's another road-trip narrative like my Halley's Comet piece. :-)Cygnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394890573443379954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63753090450546412.post-64091246286034720182013-11-10T00:16:14.635-07:002013-11-10T00:16:14.635-07:00Dear Cygnus,
the lyrics are beautiful, I still ha...Dear Cygnus, <br />the lyrics are beautiful, I still have to look up the offered link from Grace. Came home deep at night after a pub trip through Berlin with husband and two narrowboat guys - and have seen what Gorka sings of: a beautiful, beautiful starry sky - so blinking and sparkling (it was very cold). I was surprised when one guy used an app from his i-phone to see the constellation of stars above us - so they even look into that thing instead of the sky! Prefer: "I am good at stars<br />I am good at skies<br />Not like other guys<br />I am good at skies<br />I could close my eyes" <br />though I wonder about "I could be your size/ I would still be good at skies". <br />Thank you for drawing attention to the song + singer!

I love the lyrics. And now I really, really ...Awww. I love the lyrics. And now I really, really want to hear the song. I just did my own search and was able to hear a tiny sample at Amazon,<br />http://www.amazon.com/Jacks-Crows/dp/B006U642KM<br />That's also the only place I could find the whole album available to download. <br />Thaaaank you for sharing!!!<br />BTW that is probably my favorite Van Gogh, and it goes perfectly with this song...Remembering Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760441035721518260noreply@blogger.com
