When a song gets into your soul (head)

Sometimes a song just sticks in my head/mind/soul/being/esse/whatever

Right now, for some reason, Soul Meets Body by Death Cab For Cutie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9JB2ETgatI) is doing that to me. This song just keeps haunting me, I keep listening to it - along with "Wish you Here" (by Pink Floyd - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DXCHa9BYfE)just keeps digging deeper, prying out all shorts of rambles and thought paths and such - especially the lines:

"where soul meets body"

"A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere"

"If the silence takes you"

From the other song it is the line about two lost souls swimming in the fishbowl - we are all just fish in someone's fishbowl being watched.... hehe

Ah wellllllllll onto more thought------------------------



"Soul Meets Body" Death Cab For Cutie

I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what its like to be new

Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they’re far more suited than here

And I cannot guess what we'll discover
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s
And not one speck will remain

And I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body

And I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war,
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
