When I am alone When I've thrown off the weight of this crazy stone When I've lost all care for the things I own That's when I miss yo



Artist- Alexi Murdoch
Song of the day- Orange sky

After hearing about the crazy dust storm going on in my hometown I wanted to find a song to match it so i could talk about it. i found myself once again drawn to Alexi Murdoch and a song that I didn't expect to fit but ended up being kind of perfect. Cuz again it selfishly matches how I feel and has the kind of melody I think my brain meloncholly stays at unconsciously. But there's something about the song that reminds me of home and reminds me of how too that we go about our daily lives completely unaware of the world around us until you see something like this and realize just how big and powerful the world really is. How small and insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things. I'm making it sound like a bad thing but it's really quite needed and humbling. To know cuz i forget, that I'm not in charge or responsible for every single thing, i'm not the center of the universe, i'm not in control. it's kinda scary and kinda nice. To know my salvation doesn't lie with me cuz I'm pretty small and powerless against some things so vast. If you're feeling a wee bit small today, embrace it with me. This one's for you and the west texas Haboob...man i hate that word.



Well I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
Yes I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother standing by
With my brother standing by
I said brother, you know you know
It's a long road we've been walking on
Brother you know it is, you know it is
Such a long road we've been walking on

And I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my sister standing by
With my sister standing by
I said sister, here is what I know now
Here is what I know now
Goes like this
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, in your love, in your love

But sister you know I'm so weary
And you know sister
My hearts been broken
Sometimes, sometimes
My mind is too strong to carry on
Too strong to carry on

When I am alone
When I've thrown off the weight of this crazy stone
When I've lost all care for the things I own
That's when I miss you, that's when I miss you, that's when I miss you
You who are my home
You who are my home
And here is what I know now
Here is what I know now
Goes like this
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, my salvation lies
In your love, in your love, in your love

Well I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
Yes I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by
With my brother and my sister standing by
