On feeling like me or is us more accurate?
Lesley, the disc arrived and I LOVE IT! And I think experiences far outweigh things that are bought. As far as presents, getting dear friends again is greater than anything. I couldn't ask for more.
Good things by Kathleen Edwards is one of the songs Lesley included especially for her and I. But I think, after reading the lyrics, its for all of us too.
I've got a long, long list of things
That no one needs to see
Desk drawers filled with picture frames
Postcards tucked in underneath
We were only young when we moved away
It went on and on for years
You fell in love and now you live in the city
I'm my own company out here
Don't get down
Good things come when you stop waiting around
Good things come when you stop looking
Don't get down
You've just got to stop looking
There are some things that I believe
Like if you've got nothing you've still got your family
And when you are no one you're still the king
And there's not a dollar enough in the world to
make you sing
So don't get down
Good things come when you stop waiting around
Good things come when you stop looking
Don't get down
You've just got to stop looking
There are some things I used to be
Won't you find the will just to remind me
Because you are so safe inside my memory
And the scar underneath my knee
Maybe, just maybe we need to be together, not only for ourselves, but to remind us of who we really are. Someone once said that you need, long for the friends you had when you were young. For the people who knew you when...
That's what I have, and I find that wonderous person again. (If ONLY I had her smaller ass!) Don't get me wrong, I love my friends here, but you are all a part of the real me.

I just now found your post after posting my "liner notes" -- and I'm so glad this song got to you like it did me. Her voice just sounds so raw and yet very pure when she sings this..... Yeah, and then I wrote, it's for all of us -- before reading your post. (I'm reading your post and want to tell you -- all of you! -- what Topher often tells me: "I love you 'cause you 'get it.'")
