Sometimes you come across a text or even just a snippet of a text that etches itself into your heart & soul. Here I will try to gather some that mean something to me. Poems, quotes, and many song lyrics...
And yes, I think Nick Hornby was right in "High Fidelity".
Enjoy them, cherish them, nourish them...!

Dire Straits - Why Worry
"Baby I see this world has made you sad Some people can be bad The things they do, the things they say But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears I'll chase away those restless fears That turn your blue skies into grey Why worry, there should be laughter after the pain There should be sunshine after rain These things have always been the same So why worry now Baby when I get down I turn to you And you make sense of what I do I know it isn't hard to say But baby just when this world seems mean and cold Our love comes shining red and gold And all the rest is by the way Why worry, there should be laughter after pain There should be sunsh ine after rain These things have always been the same So why worry now"
"Papelillos de colores Luces ardientes de los carteles en las paredes Unos que salen y otros que vienen Solo falta que la orquesta suba a su sitio Las ilusiones para esta noche se haran posible Tras sus sonidos Cuando el baile comience ya me habre ido Pero dejare pistas para probar todos tus sentidos Cuando el baile comience ya me habre idoSigue mi amor, sigue mis latidos.
Por eso, búscame amor mio, Búscame te digo, Búscame Hasta las luces de la mañana Por eso, búscame amor mio, Búscame te digo, Búscame Porque esta noche bailo contigo.
Desde que la noche es noche todas las bellas pierden zapatos Para que puedas seguir los pasos de la leyenda Miralas con buenos ojos Solo son parte de un viejo juego que nunca falten Pistas de amor y rastro de estrellas. Cuando el baile comience ya me habre ido Mi perfume en el aire, la puerta abierta seran mis signos Baila hasta el fin, esta noche de pasion."
"I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned And I have to speculate that God himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch but it's thoughts like this that catch my troubled head when you're away when I am missing you to death when you are out there on the road for several weeks of shows and when you scan the radio I hope this song will guide you home
they will see us waving from such great heights, "come down now", they'll say but everything looks perfect from far away, "come down now", but we'll stay...
I tried my best to leave this all on your machine but the persistent beat it sounded thin upon listening and that frankly will not fly you will hear the shrillest highs and lowest lows with the windows down when this is guiding you home
they will see us waving from such great heights, "come down now", they'll say but everything looks perfect from far away "come down now", but we'll stay..."
