(Note: Because this is copyrighted material, it was difficult to find a quality video that hadn’t been muted by the copyright holders, much less a version that contains that delicious low chuckle that opens this song — which has always been my favorite part of this song.
But, if you listen really closely, you can hear a bit of it on this one.)

I know that this might not be a song about love; maybe it’s a song about hope, or perhaps regret.
The chorus is what struck me, however:
I belong with you, you belong with me
you’re my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
you’re my sweet

I’ll take that.
I write pretty much every day, so when I was going through my notebooks the other day, I found a lot of quotes in the margins.
(Most of these seem to be unattributed, so please let me know if you know the source. Thanks.)
“Most rarely align with their true power, because it seems so illogical to them that there is power in relaxation, in letting go, or in love or joy, or bliss. Most people do not understand that their true power lies in releasing resistance – which is the only obstacle to their true power.
We want you to breathe, rather than try, to relax rather than to offer effort, to smile rather than struggle, to be, rather than to do.”

They’ll take you places you didn’t want to go,
and see things you never wanted to see,
but be not afraid,
for they are there with you,
for everything.

“I love you…because you are the light that others can see.”

We don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are.
