Well, it's more of just a very small excerpt of what I'm working on...
To give you a little background...the guy is in a coma...that's it for now
---I immediately recognize the open sound. R.E.M, “Sweetness
follows.” It’s an amazing song. It’s a sad song. Yet it isn’t
making me sad. Instead I focus on the lyrics and the sweet
soothing voice of Michael Stipe. “Readying to bury to your father
and your mother, what did you think when you lost another, I
used to wonder why did you bother, distance from one, one to
the other…sweetness follows…” I think about the song. I think
about the lyrics and what they mean to me now rather than what
they did when I had first heard the song.
It is a song of hope; a hymn to the audacities of life, how
anything can happen to you whether you have chosen it or not.
This song is sinking into my being. Is this song about me? Will
sweetness follow this empty void that I have been living in? Will
I ever wake up to realize the sweetness? I am enthralled by
how this song is giving me hope, hope I haven’t had in my mind
before for this very minute. I wonder if my mom had realized this
as well. Did she think this song would give me hope? She must
have, I want to thank her, I wish that I could hit replay.
