Song #34 – Young and Beautiful
This is one of those songs that I feel shy about showing people and really self conscious about because it is kind of like other songs that exist already. It’s also a love song, and I guess I feel sometimes weird about sharing my love for one person with the world… I grew up in a home that was moderately affectionate and has grown more affectionate over the years, but I think I was made to feel a bit guarded about outward love declaration. Anyway, here it is, and I’ve even put a picture of the woman it was written for. Laura has been an incredible benefit in my life, a person who I feel deeply for and work well with, a difficult combination to find! Anyway, I think the song says it much better than I can in this typed out form. I hope you all will enjoy it. This is another one from the Blackdog Sessions. Thanks to Dominic and Stan (my bandmates) for continuing to push me into playing this one and making me feel a bit more comfortable with a public declaration of my feelings… and, of course, thanks Laura for inspiring me all the time!

I’m going home
Even if I have to go alone
If no one I know is there
I’m gonna look in the places where
I would hide when just a child
Where we…
Where we grew up together
Friends bound in the pleasure
In the playground where we first kissed
At night alone in the moonlight
Turn around and that feeling enters my heart and ignites
Oooo
You young and beautiful
Our bodies the same
Move through you, you move too
I wander through these places
Remember all the faces
I’m going home
After all of the places I’ve roamed
Been all around the world
Thousands of dreams have unfurled
But I want to turn around
And go to
Where we grew up together
Friends bound in the pleasure
In the playground where we first kissed
At night alone in the moonlight
Turn around and that feeling enters my heart and ignites
Oooo
You young and beautiful
Our bodies the same
Move through you, you move too
I wander through these places
Remember all the faces
And if you’re looking closer
You might fall in the habit
Of running barrel over
When you try and grab it
The past is gone, you can never get back
But you can still go home, man
You’re running away from the home that you’ve got
Instead of adding a page to the plot
I’m going home
Cuz I don’t wanna be alone
Coming home to you
I know that’s what I’m supposed to do
Instead of hiding like a child
We will grow up together
Friends, bound in the pleasure
To the playground where we still kiss
At night, alone in the moonlight
Open up, and that feeling enters my heart
Oooo
You young and beautiful
Our bodies the same
Move through you, you move too
I wander through these places
Remember all the faces
You, young and beautiful
You, young and beautiful
You, young and beautiful
Our bodies the same.
