the first day of my life.
so...about two years ago my friend greg came to my dorm room and uploaded a substantial amount of music onto my computer. and i have just recently been exploring these cd's and checking out the music. and, i have indeed found one that i really like. it's called the first day of my life by bright eyes.
so anyway, i just thought i would share the song with you. i think it's got some nice lyrics that could perhaps be equated to someone's experience meeting God for the first time. not all the lyrics...but a select few...anyway...give them a look if you will...

This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go
And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home...
..But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go
And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home...
and if you would care to hear the song (by watching the video)...you can go here...although the video is not as resemblant to someone's experiences when first meeting God. (but it's not like dirty or anything...)

that was a cute video. well, parts of it.. lol. i liked it when the pregnant lady was on...
I can definitely sense the Christian allegory; moreover, I can see where it is applicable to one’s spiritual life. I’m glad you posted it, it is intense. Reminiscing on those first days as a Christian can be melancholic when the communion is eroding, or when that glee and blissfulness is not the same as it was initially. It’s sad that it can take a long time to realize this. Also, the music’s chord progressions add that sense of happy/sad surge of emotions. It made me happy/sad. keep it real.
I like this song...but for some reason the tune that my mind put these words to was "the wheels on the bus go round and round..."
Hmmmm.
whys ashlee crakin you up?
i dont like the one on one thing... too much intense time with one person. if there was more then one, i think i would like that a lot. living alone is... well... lonely. go figure.
