The One Who Knows Best

Happy Mother's Day!
I pretty much had Angie to thank for for making me not feel bad about not doing anything for this year's mother's day.
I had to make an unpleasant exit to Rachel's birthday party earlier because of, thankfully, a false alarm. I received quite a fair bit of concern from everyone so I'm really grateful for that.


This is one song that never fails to evoke such haunting emotion each time it comes on that I honestly can't finish it sometimes, having to skip the track midway through.


Corrinne May - Fly Away
"When will you be home?" she asks
as we watch the planes take off
We both know we have no clear answer
to where my dreams may lead
She's watched me as I crawled and stumbled
As a child, she was my world
And now to let me go, I know she bleeds
and yet she says to me
You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart
to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away
Autumn leaves fell into spring time and
Silver-painted hair
Daddy called one evening saying
"We need you. Please come back"
When I saw her laying in her bed
Fragile as a child
Pale just like an angel taking flight
I held her as I cried
You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart
to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away

It's such a simple 4-verse song but it spells a message of a scenario, so clear, that we'd all have to face one day.





Memory is like an orgasm. It's a lot better if you don't have to fake it.
