I am a very fortunate person. I have some very amazing people in my life. If were not for these huge pieces of awesome, I would not be able to manage. They offer me help and support. They offer me friendship. They offer me love. They let me know that no matter how alone I may feel from time to time, I never really am. And when I’m ready to reach out to them, they are there for me, waiting, knowing that Jules needs to do things on her own time.
I don’t like mentioning names or making anyone feel as if they are ever second or first or in any hierarchy as each of them have a very special place in my heart. If a single one of them were to not be in my life, my life would be lacking. But sometimes someone will do something and it leaves me, breathless… It knocks me off of my normally stoic stool and sends me whirling in a dizzy of emotions. Overwhelming emotions.
Today has been such a day. Touched does not even begin to describe how I am feeling. I am completely overwhelmed at the moment. Joe told me earlier he had a surprise later when he would be doing his JoeCast. This surprise has me in absolute tears. They are good tears. Tears brought on by someone who has done something pretty fucking amazing and who has paid huge attention to who I am. Tears brought on by an overwhelming sense of feeling loved for me and not some ideal of me.
There is a song that has very special meaning for me. Every time I mention how much I love this song, people say “I love it too.” But this goes beyond love. This song is Snow Patrol’s Chasing Cars. I am not going to say why it is so special to me. If you’ve read my book, you may have an idea why. Anyway, Joe knowing this and understanding why this song is so important me, did the most beautiful, amazingly awesome cover of it. And I am touched. HA, all I can really articulate is that I am touched. Today is going to be one of those days where I will be crying all day because of this wonderful thing he did for me. I am a quivering mess. Wow. I love him and I hate him for it, HA.
Anyway, I need to share this cover with the world because of how much it truly means to me. I am so very lucky to be able to say that the wonderful Joe “Covenant” Lamb is my friend. He has been a huge support for me over the past few months but today he has done something beyond extraordinary that I will never forget. And I just hope he can understand how much he truly (ha, I can’t think of good words at the moment) and honestly has touched me very very deeply today. He managed to reach a part of my heart that few are able to touch, let alone see. I am speechless and at a loss of coherent words and thought. Thank you again, Joe. <3
Joe “Covenant” Lamb – Chasing Cars
Lyrics – Snow Patrol
We’ll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don’t need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
I don’t quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They’re not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That’s bursting into life
Let’s waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That’s bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They’re all I can see
I don’t know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
I was going to leave a reply….
But no real need.. the lyric is there.
