Deep songs say so much

Okay so I have this thing where I hear a song, it sticks in my brain, tickles my heart and buries in my soul- don't worry I won't get too deep... I mean this is coming from a chick who credits "Ride On" and "If you want blood" by AC/DC as getting her through the tough teenage years!

So don't expect friggin Chopin or anything! But things affect people in different ways, music, lyrics they are the poetry of the modern world. The sonets from the latter day Romeos to their Juliets and vice-versa. So I guess that's just a weak excuse for me to compare to my journeys throughout my life. It plays out in songs... some cool, some wild and some downright lame! But in my favorites you fine me... my life... my story. I'm just friggin gutted I didn't think of them first.

So anyway my repeat fav at the mo when i'm cruising in my truck is the following... its kind of like if you were a fly on my wall on nights like this... Cold. Quiet. When pondering rings louder than thunder but its silent in the real world. Crazy. Then this song pops into the reverie and tells you what you want to hear... seems to answer all the questions and you hope that someone out there that think they know you, can listen and think "wow, i never knew that about her... Christ it's true...She's... human!?"

So here it is - the poetry of my cool end-of-winter-solice night... when nobody knows.........

But me.

Nobody knows, nobody knows but me that I sometimes cry,
If I could pretend that I'm asleep when my tears start to fall
I peek out from behind these walls I think nobody knows
Nobody likes, nobody likes to lose their inner voice
The one I used to hear before my life made a choice
But I think nobody knows, nobody knows
Oh the secret's safe with me there's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be
And don't it feel like I'm all alone who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown?
And I've lost my way back home I think nobody knows, I said nobody knows
Nobody cares, it's win or lose, not how you play the game
And the road to darkness has a way of always knowing my name
But I think nobody knows, nobody knows
Oh the secret's safe with me there's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be
And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown?
And I've lost my way back home, nobody knows
Tomorrow I'll be there my friend
I'll wake up and start all over again
When everybody else is gone
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows the rhythm of my heart
The way I do when I'm lying in the dark and the world is asleep
I think nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
But me

Ponder that.
Peace out.
