Ever hear a song you don't really know what the lyrics mean or what the song is about but it just evokes this crazy emotion from you? Iron and Wine's Flightless Bird...I really don't know what this song is about and it doesn't really matter at this point. (there are boat loads of discussion boards on the internet about this meaning of this song) It could be the most romantic happiest song in the world but to me this song brings up nothing but sadness in my heart. His voice sounds venerable and alone but there is a sense of hope within this song. As I listen to this song memories, events, emotions push forward in my mind:
parents divorce
first taste of unrequited love
Bekah died. Catherine and I were going to see a movie with her that night after a year of being away at college.
Lara died. She gave birth to her second child only a few months before that day.
laid off
There are 24,5620(give or take a lil)amazing wonderful memories and events that have happened to me during those years that have shaped me to the person I love and have become today. However it is these events that have also made me the person I know and it is important to recognize those too.
