It's been awhile since I've posted... hopefully that has given you all plenty of time to miss me. Speaking of missing someone, I'm sure you'd all agree with me that there are times that it can become absolutely torturous (along with plenty of other things that are equally torturous, but maybe those can be addressed in their own separate posts some day). Anyhow, this song came on my Pandora station this morning, and although I'm not really sure what the intended meaning truly is, it always makes me think about missing someone.
Of course, the original version is by The Postal Service (which I will include below the lyrics); however, I love this acoustic version by Iron & Wine much, much more (which is a bit odd since I tend to love synthesizers so much)! Iron & Wine's version also appeared on the soundtrack for the film, Garden State, which I mentioned when I posted about The Shins.
Another song by Iron & Wine that also shows up on my Pandora station quite frequently that I've also grown quite fond of is "Flightless Bird American Mouth", so I'll share that one with you today too!
Until next time...

I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate
That God himself did make
Us into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch,
But its thoughts like this that catch
My troubled head when you're away
When I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road
For several weeks of shows
And when you scan the radio,
I hope this song will guide you home
They will see us waving from such great heights,
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
"Come down now," but we'll stay...
I tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
But the persistent beat it sounded thin
Upon listening
And that frankly will not fly.
You will hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down
When this is guiding you home
They will see us waving from such great heights,
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
"Come down now," but we'll stay...
They will see us waving from such great heights,
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
"Come down now," but we'll stay...
They will see us waving from such great heights,
"Come down now."
They will see us waving from such great heights,
"Come down now."
