Something in my liberty



Happiness
More or less
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just where I am

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

Well, I'm a lucky man
With fire in my hands

Happiness
Something in my own place
I'm standing naked
Smiling, I feel no disgrace
With who I am

Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just who I am

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

I hope you understand
I hope you understand

Gotta love that'll never die

Happiness
More or less
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Happiness
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know
Oh, my, my

Gotta love that'll never die
Gotta love that'll never die
No, no
I'm a lucky man

It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my








I'm loving The Verve right now =)
If you've watched Marley & Me, you might remember the scene when Owen Wilson released Marley and let him roam freely on the beach, and into the water. This song was played during that scene, and as strange as how a Verve track would fit in a commercial Hollywood movie, it turned out surprisingly well. I thought that was one of the best scenes of the movie, and the tune made it work.

"Happiness, coming and going"
this whole trip has become a debacle of sorts. I've always believed that life is fair, and a turn in fortune might just be the calm before the storm. Still, that does not mean that life is at a standstill, but it has proven to me the very true saying of "you win some, you lose some." This is like a lesson in providence, a exercise in divine care. Great, can never be truely great. I've been thinking about this and that so much, that I'm falling behind in my revision. I really felt like giving up, because there's really no time, but I figured, tough times make tough men. Then there is the financial prospect when I return, because borrowing 1k from my naggy mother means that I will have a heavier burden when I return. Is it that hard to just want to spend a holiday with a friend?!

Yes it does sound like a bad paradox, but the past week has been revealing, and I hope it stays this way, or in the best way possible, when I'm there. When Susan told me that it's not so bad travelling alone, and it could be a trip of self-discovery, I did not cringe. The thought's been at the back of my head all these time, and her saying it out just made sense and made it obvious. As I've always said, she makes the most sense. =)

Right now, it's "Happiness, more or less". I should be looking forward.

If you like this, try The Drugs Don't Work. But I figured I just might post it here sooner or later.
