Info:
An original song about my amazingly talented little sister, written 4 years ago. Lyrics, music, instruments and singing written/played/recorded by me(LMG). Footage by me, Ryan and Melissa.
Lyrics:
Melissa the world has been turning with you 13 years now
As it spins and circles the sun so our hopes change direction
And they're overwhelming; blighting our senses and straining our thoughts
all these looming possibilities and all we are not
CHORUS:
And there's, too much fate to decide
there's so much (fate) that we just want to hide (ourselves)
And while detailing the sun we are blinded but we'll start again
Melissa I read all the poems you wrote
late last night
Nature whispered the deepest of life to you stretching your sight
to describe the trees and the air and all spirits that dance
Things that few men have ever seen and you've shared them with me
CHORUS x2
BRIDGE:
For fortune will find us we're leaving behind us
a 9-5 monster we'll hide from it and fight it
We enter with nothing but freedom to answer to;
exit with nothing but life on our backs x2
Melissa, the world has been turning with you
13 years now

she'll always be 9 to me
I was watching a video of when she visited us at college the other day, so cute and little! I forgot how teeny she was for her age back then.
what a pretty song -- the video is very well done too. i always like seeing your family, they're so nice. :-)
thanks, it's not my best editing, but I loved doing it since I got to look at pictures of my family over and over. Awesomes peoples thems guys.
hey laurie!
have you heard back from the uw yet? i hope you guys move there, it would be so much fun. :-)
Oh sorry. I was going to say that Ryan and I have kind of decided to
A) live in Appleton for a year and then move to Madison for school
B) Live in Madison a year and then go to school there.
C) Look for a program in Southern Calif. or another state that appeals to us, live there long enough to establish residency and then go to school there.
Then, yesterday, I heard back from them saying that they gave the slots to people with SW experience! 3 years teaching overseas, I don't think they understand what teachers in Japan are... Let's just say there are no counselors in schools in Japan. Even though I had decided I didn't really want another SW degree, well, I guess I was happy that for once I made a decision BEFORE my road turned on its own. Usually I just leave it up to whatever happens.
yeah, i didn't think you wanted another SW degree..? weren't you planning on going for linguistics? i guess i must be behind a little...! i think last i heard you wanted to be a professor right? is that what you're still thinking of doing or is it something else?
Yeah, something along those lines. You're not really behind, I haven't really changed, it's just that if I got in this year for SW my schooling would have basically been free and over within a year at most.
Then I would've just gotten a PH.D. in Linguistics or something in order to teach.
So it was just an alternative version of the same original plan ^_^
well i'm glad to hear you're still probably coming. :-)
we could have so much fun this summer!!!
so laurie!!!
no updates in a while! are you getting excited for the move? only a month or so to go, right? i can't wait to see you! :-)
