I love it all so much I call I want you back

Artist- Local Natives
Song of the day- Airplanes

Today I bought tickets for this concert and am oh so excited. I find so many things about their sound interesting and have had a soft spot for drum taps since my junior high snare drum days, and for some reason boy harmonies make me extra giddy. But as I listen to today's song over and over, it also makes me miss my grandma a lot. The video reminds me of cleaning out their house after she passed (minus the weird picture vomit at the end), and so many of the lyrics make me remember how amazing her life was and how amazing she was to me. She was the first person to think my weirdness was something special and I don't think I knew the word "creative" till she told me. She encouraged everything I tried even when I did it badly. She had so much to do with my "artsy" side and indirectly down the line led me to nursing. Every time I sit with a patient I can't help but think of how I wish I sat with her in her hospital room more, how a part of me is still trying to make up for my fears and mistakes as a teenager. So here's to those we've lost, we want, and long to see again.



The desk where you sit inside of a
frame made of wood
I keep those chopsticks you had from when
you taught abroad in Japan

I love it all so much
I call
I want you back

I did not know you as well
as my father knew you
every question you took the
time to sit and look it up in the
encyclopedia

I love it all so much
I call I want you back

It sounds like we
would of had a great deal to say
to each other
I bet when I leave
my body for the sky the wait will
be worth it
