What ONE song best describes you/your views on life?

There are no lyrics, so I can't say it describes my views on life... but the melodies always take me on a journey.

Just gave my vinyl copy of Leftoverture a spin last night. Had forgotten how good it is.

Minstrel of the Dawn , lyrics


The minstrel of the dawn is here
To make you laugh and bend your ear
Up the steps you'll hear him climb
All full of thoughts, all full of rhymes
Listen to the pictures flow
Across the room into your mind they go
Listen to the strings
They jangle and dangle
While the old guitar rings
The minstrel of the dawn is he
Not too wise but oh so free
He'll talk of life out on the street
He'll play it sad and say it sweet
Look into his shining face
Of lonelines you'll always find a trace
Just like me and you
He's tryin' to get into things
More happy than blue
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/gordon-lightfoot-minstrel-of-the-dawn-lyrics.html ]
A minstrel of the changin' tide
He'll ask for nothing but his pride
Just sit him down upon that chair
Go fetch some wine and set it there
Listen to the pictures flow
And follow the fingers where they go
Listen to the strings
They jangle and dangle
While the old guitar rings

A minstrel of the dawn is near
Just like a step 'n fetchit here
He's like an old time troubador
Just wanting life and nothing more
Look into his shining eyes
And if you see a ghost don't be surprised
Like me and you
He's tryin' to get into things
More happy than blue

The minstrel boy will understand
He holds a promise in his hand
He talks of better days ahead
And by his words your fortune's read
Listen to the pictures flow
Across the room into your mind they go
Listen to the strings
They jangle and dangle
While the old guitar rings

The minstrel of the dawn is gone
I hope he'll call before too long
And if you meet him you must be
The victim of his minstrelsy
He'll sing for you a song
The minstrel of the dawn

Song for a Winters Night

Lyrics


The lamp is burning low upon my table top
The snow is softly falling
The air is still in the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly calling
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter night with you

The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon each page
The words of love you sent me
If I could know within my heart, that you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
On this winter night with you

The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are lifting
The morning light steals across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are drifting
If I could only have you near, to breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
And to be once again with you
On this winter night with you

So ...I'm seeing someone, and he sent me this song today via email. It really touched me, and I put it in this thread, because...I think I've learned how to trust. Finally.

Trust has been a hard thing for me ...so, to think differently about things, is a milestone of sorts.

Enjoy...

What made the difference with this guy? I think you might be rushing it a bit.

 

Hello. I've mentioned to u in private that he has been a friend for a time. So, wasn't like "cold" dating, kwim?
Besides a connection that we share, he greatly respects me as a person. In turn, that has caused me to trust.
I will try not to rush things as u say here.
