Praise for the deserving

     Happy Humpday everyone! I hope your Wednesday's were all wonderful. I'm prepping like crazy for Valentines day, I'll post about my frugal and beautiful cards and gifts coming up in one of the next few posts along with some stuff for those of you going into--or already in college. Now--in the words of Monty Python, it's time for something completely different.

     I'd like to take this moment to share with all of you the beautiful work of a friend of mine. I'm completely enraptured by this song and her rendition of it. "Peter" covered by Olivia in the video originally by Daughter.

    The lyrics are below, and i'm just hooked. I can't say enough good things about Olivia's unique voice nor the way I think she just completely captures the meaning of this song for me. It's eerie, sorrowful, with this edge to it, -shivers- gives me chills. {Every. single. time.} If you like this and want to hear more follow the youtube video, on to her page.

"Peter, can I go back home?
I flew here under false pretense
I thought it would be fun
But the lost boys have all moved away
And one of them's locked up
I know you think you're still a child
But I couldn't give a f**** (Changed in this version)
You're twenty-one

Oh Peter,
I can dream no more
I've been chasing all of yours
That I've forgotten what it was that I wanted
That I want

No I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me to
You see that I don't look so good in yellow
Like other dolls they do
Like other dolls they do

Oh Peter
I am not naïve
I see the way you look at her
You don't do that for me
Oh it must be love
And we both know it's not with us

No I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me to
You see that I don't look so good in yellow
Like other dolls they do
Like other dolls they do

Oh Peter
He walks beside the lake
While I lie beside an empty space
Waiting for the sirens
Just waiting for the sirens

No I won't be your doll
So please don't you ask me to
I won't shut my little painted face
Like all your other dolls they do
Like all your other dolls they do
They do"
