Struck a cord

I’m here sitting listening to some good ol’ East Coast tunes when I hear some lyrics that jump right out of the computer at me. Good ol’Great Big Sea.

Definitely something I relate to.

Here’s the snippet that caught my ear.

“Seagulls”

“The people here seem really nice
But the winter’s way too long
New friends, they don’t understand
They just tell her to be strong

She made some decent money
But nothing comes for free
The busy streets just can’t compete
With the sky, the rocks and sea

[Chorus]
You know that she wants to try,
never lets you see her cry
You know that she wants to try,
she’s got seagulls in her eyes

I couldn’t have said it better myself.
