Y13W24 Missed Connection
http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13098536
I’m going out on Craigslist to post a missed connection
To the lady at the funeral in Houston
I saw you at the funeral and I couldn't take my eyes off of you
I think you wanted to look at me but couldn't
You just stayed in the corner; your hair was blonde
I was the one wearing the dark suit
Chorus
You could have been the one
Could have been the one
The one for me
I’m sending my affection
Sending my confession in a Craigslist missed connection
solo
I briefly brushed against your hand but you gave no reaction
You were like an angel in a room full of grief
In a room full of grief; the center of attention
chorus
I hope and pray they have keyboards in heaven
So you can write back to me
chorus
Hi James
Like this a lot - the line "I was the one wearing the dark suit" is now atop the 2015 "wish I'd written that" list.
Also like how the lady in question is able (despite her obvious lack of physically ability) to move from the corner of the room to the center of attention. Great little details make what could have simply been a cute song a lot more poignant.
The music fit nicely, too. It's easy to think that with this sort of topic one would go with more solemn rhythms and chords but your choice of music certainly fit the overall sense of the narrator's character. Very cool.
Looking forward to more.
Peace
Thanks for the listen and feedback, David :D
