Song on repeat at the moment:
I am thinking it’s a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they’re perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clayTrue, it may seem like a stretch, but
It’s thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you’re away when I am missing you to death
- The Postal Service, “Such Great Heights” (Available for download on the band’s Sub Pop site)
I’ve never understood the “freckles in our eyes” bit - do people have eye freckles? But ahhh….. what a song. Non-cynical, heart on sleeve, and yet perfectly balanced so that it doesn’t tip over into mawkishness. And yes, it’s not new, and I’ve had it in my playlist for AGES, but for some reason it still feels fresh.
