tunes: day 30

the final selection. one of my all-time favorites. possibly my favorite song ever, and this blog's namesake.

i cannot say enough good things about this song. i feel like it has inspired my music tastes.



great lines to listen for:
"perhaps someone you know could sparkle and shine"
"and i love you"
"shooting stars around your heart"
"don't sell the dreams you should be keeping"
"where feelings not reasons can make you decide"
"as leaves fall down, splash autumn on gardens"
"look at me with starry eyes, push me up to starry skies"
"if love's the truth then look no lies
and let me swim around your eyes
i've found a place i'll never leave
shut my mouth and just believe
love is the truth i realize
not a stream of pretty lies
to use us up and waste our time"

I made many a mix tape in my day with The Lightning Seeds making frequent appearances. Pure and simple lyrics. Pure and simple voice. One of many, many underrated bands from the 80s and early 90s.
