Fits the end of winter/start of spring vibe really well. Great song, I just hate the way John says “brrrrrrright” on the second verse for whatever reason.
This set of songs is so heart warming/meaningful. John Denvers delivery also gives these tunes so much fun and power. Personally it always resets my mind in a way to realize that all of this stuff in the world comes and goes in cycles and nature is awesome.
"And, oh, I love the life within me
I feel a part of everything I see
And, oh, I love the life around me...
...Can you see yourself reflected in the seasons?
Can you understand the need to carry on?"
In this case the song. Britpop is usually more of a fall affair for me but this one is so fun and springy. This part of the song gets me every time: I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrows too
It gives me a sense of enormous well-being
(Parklife)
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day
Safe in the knowledge there will always be
A bit of my heart devoted to it Link to this part because the accent is crucial
I don’t understand how yall end up at these random ass places you do, come across the books on ancient polyrhythmic science or whatever you read, listen to those indescribably niche tracks I’ve never heard of before or since, or host art installations from your makeshift garage, but I love hearing about every little bit of it, beyond fascinating to know all your stories and passions and the things that occupy ya mind and keep you alive. It’s like a big canvas comprised of different jagged pieces that all add up to a whole. I’ve only been on the app for two weeks or so and it’s already partly helped me heal from a lotta past grief and pain so I’m grateful to interact with yall.
It’s cool to learn new things, it’s cool to develop some new skills. It’s cool to be able to access a whole bunch of data and knowledge at your fingertips. Don’t let some guy on a podcast become your father figure or give you financial advice or try to anoint you with another monolithic identity not too dissimilar from the one you vowed to leave behind. Life doesn’t get any better, but YOU do.
