is...
running up that hill.
for some reason...it makes me super charged.... and determined...gracious...ready to take the bullet...to dig in and plough through the thickest of untouched soil.
when I turned in my master's thesis...I took off to Hawaii...on my own....I do stuff like that. sometimes...instead of having to entertain others...or compromise on activities...or....other reasons....I'll do things by myself...at least...I could do that more before kids.....but I would....go to concerts, because I couldn't find someone to go...so I'd go by myself...I don't like to wait for when someone else can do it.....the waiting....then you spend life waiting...for the moment when the stars align and another person can go....why wait? and then....that concert night happens...without you.
so...I went to Hawaii....by myself....and had fun....and of course.....because this is what I do as well....I created a mix cd for the rental car...which for some weird reason- turned out to be a minivan...so weird. I was by myself...driving around this rental minivan.
and on that mix cd...was Running Up that Hill. and every time that damn song came on....it just....
was awesome....driving around Hawaii...free from my thesis...
its that beginning beat.....tribal...and strong....like someone with the determination of a herd of a thousand wild horses....carving out their own new path....liberation and freedom and wildness...and a world of possibilities...
amazing....what music can do to you....and because of my mix cds, I have all this great music....with great memories imprinted in my brain....
It doesn't hurt me...
you wanna feel how it feels?
do you wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
do you wanna hear about the deal I'm making?
you...it's you and me.
and if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
and get him to swap our places,
be running up that road,
be running up that hill...
be running up that building.
you don't want to hurt me,
but see how deep the bullet lies,
unaware that I'm tearing you asunder
There is thunder in our hearts
so much hate for the ones we love?
tell me, we both matter, don't we?
you and me... we won't be unhappy.
if I only could, I'd make a deal with God,
and get him to swap our places,
be running up that road,
be running up that hill, be running up that building,
with no problem.
peace and love and....running up that hill......with no problem.
That's an awesome song Kelly! I had a friend that played Kate Bush constantly - but that was definitely one of my favorite songs. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLance, I love it..too....I'm not a huge Kate Bush fan...but yeah, for some reason...that song just hits me hard. :) hope you had a great weekend! :)
