New Song

I've got a new song of the week, playing on repeat right now recommended by Matt Wertz. "Mystery" by Indigo Girls is an amazing song. To quote him, "'Mystery' by the Indigo Girls is the most beautifully written song, lyrically, that i've ever heard in my life. Every line in that song could inspire pages of analysis. There is more truth wrapped up in that song than most of us have known in our whole life." So check it out and here are the lyrics, because I know you'll want to read them for yourself.

Each time you'd pull down the drivewayI wasn't sure when I would see you again/Yours was a twisted, blind-sided highway/No matter which road you took then

Oh you set up your place in my thoughts/Moved in and made my thinking crowded/Now we're out in the back with the barking dogs/My heart the red sun, your heart the moon clouded

Refrain
I could go crazy on a night like tonight/When summer's beginning to give up her fight/And every thought's a possibility/And voices are heard, but nothing is seen/Why do you spend this time with me/May be an equal mystery

So what is love then, is it dictated/Or chosen - Handed down or made by hand/Does it sing like the hymns of a thousand years/Or is it just pop emotion - Handed down or made by hand/And if it ever was there, and it left/Does it mean it was never true/And to exist it must elude/Is that why I think these things of you

{Refrain}

Oh, but you like the taste of danger/It shines like sugar on your lips/And you like to stand in the line of fire/Just to show you can shoot straight from your hip/There must be a thousand things you would die for/I can hardly think of two/But not everything is better spoken aloud/Not when I'm talking to you

Oh, the pirate gets the ship and the girl tonight/Breaks a bottle to christen her/Basking in the exploits of her thief/She's a very good listener/And maybe that's all that we need is to meet in the middle/Of impossibility/Standing at opposite poles/Equal partners in a mystery - Handed down or made by hand/We're standing at opposite poles/Equal partners in a mystery
