Today I Turn 35

Pondering: Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you. (Wally Amos)

This beautiful, beautiful song from the new Keane album, Perfect Symmetry moves me so much, I can’t explain it. It brings tears to my eyes for many different reasons. I am posting the lyrics here today, which is my birthday. Nothing else is more appropriate…

You Don’t See Me
(T. Rice-Oxley, T. Chaplin, R. Hughes)

Like a beautiful dawn, all made up and bright
Radiant people, in splintering light 
All moving at the speed of life 
Reflecting in each others’ eyes 
But you’re moving so fast 
Through this beautiful scene 
You don’t see me 
You don’t see me 

Oh truly we are, a fortunate few 
Who turn on your axis, revolve around you 
All spinning outwards from your sun 
Passing your reflection on 
In your hurry to grasp 
Everything you see 
You don’t see me 
You don’t see me 
You don’t see me 
No, you don’t see me 

Such a beautiful view 
I guess you’ve seen it all 
But you 
You see nothing at all 
Such a beautiful view 
Shining so bright 

Shining so bright 
So bright 

All moving at the speed of life 
Reflecting in each others’ eyes 
But you’re moving with such irresistible speed 
You don’t see me 
No, you don’t see me
