Just Because

I fished out this mix CD I'd made for myself back in the beginning of June. It's my "Love Songs Mix." I remember making it and thinking of Jen...well before it was a reality, at cusp of that thought as a possibility. And I listen to it now, and well, it's a great mix of songs. Love as infatuation (Every Little Thing She Does), love for family (In My Life), love as clingy and desperate (God Only Knows) and my favorite: love as balanced comfort, easy and gentle--"The Weather." Built to Spill, whom I never got to see at Bumbershoot, because I arrived a mere 5 hours early...instead of arriving 8 hours early. Feel my wrath Bumbershoot. Feel my wrath. Anyway, BTS wrote this great song, and it was the song at Mark and Stacy's wedding. It's perfect. It is *the* love song in my mind.

"Do you want it to be outside in the cool night,
where the stars gravitate toward you?
Do you want it to be outside in the cool night, where
the fog wraps itself around you?
Do you want it to be outside in the sunshine,
where the clouds take their places for you?

And the wind and snow and the rain that blows,
none of those would matter much without you.
And as long as its talking with you,
talk of the weather will do.

Do you want it to be outside in the cool night,
where the stars gravitate toward you?
Do you want it to be outside in the sunshine,
where the song keeps itself inside you?
And the wind and snow and the rain that blows,
none of those would matter much without you.

Nobody's hoping for better days,
No one knows what to do.
You're ok in your secret ways,
No one bothering you.
It might save time if I meet you there
But I dont care, I'd rather wait for you."

I may have posted something like this before, but fuck it, it's a great song.
