Crazy Songs

Mostly this blog has been about my writings. But Not only is it about writing out my feelings and thoughts and every other crazy thing I do. But often times when  I feel that I am lost for the words I come across a song that can say it all. That can say or describe that exact emotion that I am feeling. Sometimes it  feels so overwhelming that I can't even find the words let alone write about it. So I guess on days or times when I want to write but feel blocked or even clogged by my emotions. I will post a song for you to hear. To listen, to immerse yourself in for just a little bit. The past couple days I have missed Pete so bad that I found  at times impossible to breathe. As if the world or a giant has laid me on the ground and is standing on my heart. As if I were his step-stool to reach something. You could maybe imagine what that kind of pain would feel  like. Since music has always been so much a part of my DNA along with who I am. I figured why not have a song say, what I can't seem to write. I feel so utterly lost without him that my head feels foggy and too many emotions just swirl around and around and only thing that comes to mind is a song.
    Sometimes I can write my own songs but lately I have been relying on other musicians to be my words. One musician in particular that is so insightful with her words and how she writes songs is Jewel. The song I have posted on here that I hope you can view or link to is called "Violet Eyes"  However Pete's eye's were brown but his favorite color was purple. So it feels fitting.

Lyrics :
It's been a while since you've been around
I'm drifting like a gypsy from town to town
I've been to France and Rome
Seen Duomo's glittered domes
Laid beneath Spanish summer skies
I've seen nothing so lovely as your violet eyes

Do you recall the turquoise sea?
On the isles off the shores of Greece
I've sworn I won't forget
Your exact smile when we went
I see you in everything
And everywhere I go,
I see your violet eyes

Seasons come and seasons pass
Time can seem so fragile as a looking glass
Oh, I know there must be something more constant than time
Cause everywhere I go,
I see your violet eyes

If I could write a post card to you
And know that somehow it would get through
I'm not sure I could express
This aching in my chest
I guess I'll always miss you
And everywhere I go,
I see your violet eyes

Seasons come and seasons pass
Time can seem so fragile as a looking glass
Oh, I know there must be something more constant than time
Cause everywhere I go,
I see your violet eyes

It was a year ago last Christmas
We spent in Hawaii
Laughing beneath the stars
Playing in the sand not snow
Laughing in the sea
It'll be a year this coming 4th of July
When I held your hand
And for the last time,
You closed your Violet Eyes

Seasons come and seasons pass
Time can seem so fragile as
Fragile like a looking glass
I know there must be something more constant than time
Cause at night when I sleep
I feel you all around me
I feel your eyes upon me
I see your Violet Eyes
