Day 1 - My Favourite Song

In all honesty, I don't think I will ever find a song which I'll be able to descibe as 'my favourite song'. Music is incredible. There is so much of it that you will never in a million years be able to listen to it all. There are so many songs that I listen to the with the kind of wonder reserved for genius and works of art. There is simply no way I could choose one favourite.

In my mind I have always had this track listed as my favourite: For The Widows In Paradise, For The Fatherless In Ypsilanti by Sufjan Stevens. But truthfully I know that it is not really my all-time favourite song, because I don't have one.



It is however an incredible song, which has always moved me. Which is strange in a way because whilst the themes of the song are highly religious, I am not.

These are the lyrics:

I have called you children,
I have called you son.
What is there to answer,
if I'm the only one?
Mourning comes in paradise,
mourning comes in light,
still I must obey,
still I must invite.

If there's anything to say,
if there's anything to do,
if there's any other way,
I'd do anything for you.

I was dressed in embarrassment,
I was dressed in white.
If you have a part of me,
will you take your time?
Even if I come back,
even if I die,
is there some idea,
to replace my life?

Like a father to impress,
like a mother's mourning dress,
if we ever make a mess,
I'll do anything for you.

I have called you preacher,
I have called you son.
If you have a father,
or if you havn't one.

I'll do anything for you,
I'll do anything for you,
I'll do anything for you,
I'll do anything for you,
I'll do anything for you.

I did everything for you,
I did everything for you,
I did everything for you,
I did everything for you,
I did everything for you,
I did everything for you,
I did everything for you,
I did everything for you,
I did everything for you,
I did everything for you,
I did everything for you,
I did everything for you,
I did everything for you,
I did everything for you.

I first heard the song on The OC, during an episode in which one of the characters, Johnny's, funeral took place. It had been a shocking and accidental death, and the song coincided with the characters, both living and dead, and their feelings towards one another. It was beautiful and heartbreaking for me - considering my aforementioned intense involvement with film and television characters, and ever since the song has meant a lot to me.

You should check it out, it's amazing, here's a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4tkiGvV_ek

I'm choosing to be anonymous, but you can call me Kaia. I'm an English teenager, using this blog to post my views on fashion, music, art, the world, writing, books, film, television, life and the people in it.

I doubt it will be particularly deep or serious, and not because I lack the ability to be that way, rather because this is an outlet in which I choose not to be that way.

Despite the fact that I currently have no followers, I hope that soon I will and that you will be somewhat inspired or amused by my posts.
