Naamdag

Mijn stem is niet meer gebroken,
het is schip is niet vergaan.
De beschutting van de baai

You’re the lucky ones

My music friends at Digging for Gems actually do dig up very beautiful things from time to time. Such as the song Youth by the Daughter [I at first was under the impression that ‘Daughter’ was the name of the track.].

It contains this one part of -bitter- lyrics that I particularity like:

And if you’re in love, then you are the lucky one,
‘Cause most of us are bitter over someone.
Setting fire to our insides for fun,
To distract our hearts from ever missing them.
But I’m forever missing him.
