“And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in”
Artist: Matt Nathanson
Song: Come on Get Higher
This has been my song for the past few weeks. That one song that just pauses life as you know it and for about three minutes lets you forget what’s really going on. This particular lyric is only a few lines in, but is by far my favorite line. It is so true…I miss the little moments of silence. You all know what/who I am talking about. I once heard someone say they would lay awake and watch their spouse sleep in the middle of the night and realized how special that time was. You might ask but if you couldn’t sleep wouldn’t that bother you (especially if they are snoring). The response, “…no, it makes me happy to see him/her sleeping there so peacefully.” I have never thought about waking up next to someone quite the same after hearing that and I have to admit I miss those moments. Every time I hear that lyric it takes my breathe away. So don’t forget tonight to count your blessings and enjoy a little moment of silence. Sweet Dreams!
