    Rosie:

    Song and Video by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes.

    [after a whirlwind trip through my life stateside i am taking the redeye back tonight and feeling reflective and happy, happy like a stoned dog]

    from a spoken interlude 2/3 through the song:

    Him: Do you remember that day you fell out of my window?
    Her: I sure do, you came jumping out after me.
    Him: Well you fell on the concrete, nearly broke your ass, you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you off to the hospital, you remember that?
    Her: Yes I do
    Him: Well there’s something I never told you about that night
    Her: What didn’t you tell me
    Him: While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was gonna be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you, and I never told you till just now.

    Sometimes all of life feels this way. No one can strum the chord the way Rosie can, either. It makes me glad that she found this song for herself.
