This Must Be The Place
Miles Fisher

Home is where I want to be
But I guess I’m already there
I come home (h-h-home), she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb, born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun

The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It’s okay, I know nothing’s wrong, nothing

Hiyo, I’ve got plenty of time
Hiyo, you’ve got light in your eyes
And you’re standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money, always for love
Cover up and say goodnight, say goodnight

Home is where I want to be
But I guess I’m already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place

I can’t tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this is where I’ll be, where I’ll be

Hiyo, we drift in and out
Hiyo, sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You’ve got a face with a view
I’m just an animal looking for a home
Share the same space for a minute or two

And you’ll love me ’til my heart stops
Love me ’til I’m dead
Eyes that light up, eyes that look through
Cover up the blank spots, hit me on the head

I Will Possess Your Heart
by Death Cab for Cutie from Narrow Stairs

There are days when outside your window
I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective
When we’ll be lovers, lovers at last

This song always makes me think of several things. Aside from the obvious, it always relates back to how I see myself. I know that others perceive PAUL differently than I do, but to what extent should I trust others’ observations? Usually they make me doubt myself or become self-deprecating in my thoughts. Earlier tonight I was walking and talking with a friend, and he made a rather unpleasant insinuation about my appearance. Now I’m feeling gloomy over the way I look, but no matter how much effort I put into it, nothing ever changes. I guess I’ll just have to learn to love myself through all of my flaws.

Other people do and I find myself loving them in return.

Let the love go ’round.

The short version is as follows: summercamp. office. long nights. sweet dreams.

Naked As We Came
by Iron and Wine from Such Great Heights

I love this version by Iron and Wine because is so soothing to listen to. Be careful, the song can get stuck in your head. Seriously, though, this song became a mantra to the stressful nights and the bonding time with friends and just seemed to melt the bad times away to reveal the beauty in life.

When you think about it, it’s all about our growth through life as we age. It’s like riding on a sinusoidal wave. You have your down days, your up days, and things always balance themselves out. It’s the phenomenon of what we perceive to be karma. So when you’re in a trough and you need a pick-me-up, this song will always be there to guide your way.
