i wish i was the moon tonight
If there ever was a song to describe my feelings here it is...
Beautiful story behind this song....
One day, walking back from the art studio to be in time for my house meeting, I took the short cut, which means going through the boys res's, botha, matthews, cory etc, but this cut goes through botha... and there sitting on the botha lawns was a friend I had made during subject registration, he was having a chat with another very peculiar human being, and they both, called me over and I joined the conversation. It didn’t take me too long to hear his accent was foreign and then he very sweetly told me he was Canadian. This boy was really amazing, so cool and soiled... I found out he was studying music and then begged him to sing to me. He then got a guitar, and played like an absolute angel. He's into jazz. I’m not a music expert but it was surely amazing. Not only his perfected notes, but this voice, that was just so unadulterated, ever-lasting, pure....
And this song was what he sang, and this song changed my life that day, well not my whole life, just that little part of me that forgets what is really out there.
All
you
need
to
do
is
look
at
the
moon
and its there...
In the end I left his voice, but took this song with me forever
sweet dreams
