Boats And Birds | Jan 18th 2006
If you be my star
I’ll be your sky
you can hide underneath me and come out at night
when I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine
but you can skyrocket away from me
and never come back if you find another galaxy
far from here with more room to fly
just leave me your stardust to remember you by
if you be my boat
I’ll be your sea
a depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity
ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze
I live to make you free
I live to make you free
but you can set sail to the west if you want to
and past the horizon till I can’t even see you
far from here where the beaches are wide
just leave me your wake to remember you by
if you be my star
I’ll be your sky
you can hide underneath me and come out at night
when I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine
but you can skyrocket away from me
and never come back if you find another galaxy
far from here with more room to fly
just leave me your stardust to remember you by
stardust to remember you by
this song is purely amazing.

A friend described it as his “cloud” song…it really is the most beautiful song i’ve heard in a long time. the imagery in the song… “a sight to store away, then conjure up someday when [you] [are] no longer together” (Nelson DeMille). Pure.

Comment by Anthony — November 18, 2006 @ 3:28 am
this is “our” song the first time i heard it he was playing it on his psp an i hadnt seen him in ages and he held me in his arms while i cried cause this song is so moving and emotional…. the fact that i never thought i was going to see him again until he turned up on my doorstep that day was completely captured by these lyrics… its a song that represents pure love and devotion that you would even let someone you love leave you if that is what would make them happy… it really represents the meaning of being in love….:(……i have listened to it on repeat eversince its beautiful and is pure… its undescribable.

I agree with all of you!
I Love this song, I thought i heard it on tv. maybe it was my imagination but it was this girl and guy and they were walking everywhere. through walls and the streets to get the eachother. i think it was a show commercial. but it had this song and i was soo in to it that i just sat there.
the next time i heard it, my friend had burned a cd for me and it had this song. we were listening to this wonderful song in his car when it was raining. and it was soo romantic! =]

Comment by kwlcm — July 27, 2007 @ 10:22 am
this song made me cry and smile at the same time.it tells all the emotions of being in love and knowing theres a chance they may leave and still being okay with it.but most importantly not killing your love for them.
thanks so much.

A bedtime story, in fact.
It’s just comfortable and warm.

i completely fellin love with it, and i dont listen to this kind of songs
my friends would tease me about it being my lulaby, but i accept.
later in that day i told one of my friends to listen to it with me, she leaned on my shoulder and she started crying and i had to wipe the tears off of her!
it was sooo cute!

I absolutely love this song.
I downloaded what was supposed to be
“Yellow Birds and Coal Mines” By the Scene Aesthetic, and instead I got this song.
I fell in love with it instantly, and wasn’t too sad about not getting the song I was hoping for.
Genius.
