"Universe & U" - KT Tunstall
I just moved into a new little office on the 2nd floor. It's quaint and tucked in a corner somewhere in the middle of nowhere (I have a view of tree tops and squirrels). Most of the other staff are stationed downstairs or close their doors to keep the cool draft out and the heat from escaping into the hallway. By lunch time everyone pretty much goes their separate ways so it often gets quiet.
As I was unpacking a few boxes and rearranging the little furniture I had, I found my tiny MP3 player stuck in a bag of bags in-between junk I almost forgot about. So, I plugged in my ear piece and pressed play. To my surprise, a variety of songs I haven't heard in a while came tumbling out and as it went on, this song finally made its way back to me and I smiled and sang along.
This is why I need music. It fills up the empty space that surrounds me so that I don't feel like I'm not the only one in the room, let alone in the building hidden high up in the peaceful hills of Elysian Park away from the hectic downtown LA.
Lyrics:
A fire burns
Water comes
You cool me down
When I'm cold inside
You are warm and bright
You know you are so good for me
With your child's eyes
You are more than you seem
You see into space
I see in your face
The places you've been
The things you have learned
They sit with you so beautifully
You know there's no need to hide away
You know I tell the truth
We are just the same
I can feel everything you do
Hear everything you say
Even when you're miles away
Cause I am me, the universe and you
Just like stars burning bright
Making holes in the night
We are building bridges
You know
When you're on your own
I'll send you a sign
Just so you know
I am me, the universe and you
