I think this is the song for my opening credits -- because there's this franticness to it.
When I think about my story -- I think about how at the beginning all the things driving my life were external -- pushing me -- pulling me -- searching -- this song is all about others and finding things outside herself. "I love you when I forget about me"
I want this song too -- I love a case of you -- because for me it's about being addicted to something/someone that's empty to her now -or bad for her -- and yet -- still sucks her in.
ahem -- sound like someplace I've been?
and this is the song I hope will play over the closing credits
I used to sing that Billy Joel song every night to/with my daughter I before I kissed her goodnight. She is now about to start high school. She just heard it playing on my computer and came in and said, "Mom, I remember you singing that!" brought tears to my eyes. Where did the time go? Enjoy the Pixie at this age, they grow up way too fast!
i do love Joni Mitchell. Want a wonderful choice of songs.
