In my living room... and everywhere...

I grew up in a house where music was always playing. And following that tradition, I also keep my mom's ritual of hearing the same CD over and over for days until I cannot hear it in months. The lucky CD of the week is "When it falls" from Zero 7. My favorite song from that CD (as of today) is Somersault... and more than dedicated to a person in particular, it just makes me think of all the sweet people of my everyday life, which distant or far mean so much to me. Starting with that human being that inspires me to listen to a CD over and over...


"Somersault"


You're the prince to my ballerina
You feed other people's parking meters
You encourage the eating of ice cream
You would somersault in sand with me

You talk to loners, you ask how's your week
You give love to all and give love to me
You're obsessed with hiding the sticks and stones
When I feel the unknown
You feel like home, you feel like home

You put my feet back on the ground
Did you know you brought me around
You were sweet and you were sound
You saved me

You're the warmth in my summer breeze
You're the ivory to my ebony keys
You would share your last jelly bean
You would somersault in sand with me

You put my feet back on the ground
Did you know you brought me around
You were sweet and you were sound
You saved me

You put my feet back on the ground
Did you know you brought me around
You were sweet and you were sound
See I had shrunk yet still you wore me around
And 'round and 'round
