"Soul Meets Body" - Death Cab for Cutie
My office building is haunted. It sits on a lonely hilltop surrounded by trees and a small garden. This is a very quiet and serene environment where in the late 80's and early 90's it provided a safe place to care for those dying of AIDS. Over 1,000 people passed away here and in their memory, plaques align the walls and carved, wooden name plates stand near the bountiful grapefruit and orange trees along the driveway.
You can feel a calm presence the minute you walk up the hill. Some of us have witnessed a few unexplainable things happening when we were by ourselves in the building like hurried footsteps in the hallway, running water, and the opening and closing of doors. A few of us have even seen ghostly images. Nothing too aggressive, just an obvious hint that the spirits aren't too far away.
We tend to joke around about it like telling scary stories around a campfire vs. taking it too seriously because we don't want to freak each other out knowing that all of this actually exists. It may be a bit eerie to say the least, but not evil. In a way, it's nice to know that they are watching us up there so they can see that we are progressing against this terrible disease. And that those who suffered through it at a time when we had no idea what we were dealing with can somehow know that we no longer use this place to watch more people die, but to fight to keep people from dying too soon.
Lyrics:
I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what its like to be new
Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they’re far more suited than here
And I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s
And not one speck will remain
And I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
And I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
