"Look Ma, I ain't done growing My blind eyes are slowly opening up again" 8 months later this is still the verse of Look Ma that speaks to me the most. This song continues to move me, because as a person diagnosed with bipolar disorder, depressive episodes can be very unpredictable and last for a very long time. Listening to this song describes the feeling I have when the fog of depression begins to lift and I start getting back to being 'me' again. Look Ma is such a hopeful song; thank you so much for this song BFL.
Look ma, the wind's stopped blowing And I see that that means nothing There's more to a storm All the wires are down, and there is not a sound But I pray, just for today Look ma, I ain't done growing My blind eyes are slowly opening up again Sun overhead By now denial is breaking I'm over the fake love making As a way of quick escape Through the chaos and the calm Found some comfort in the harm And I fall apart Look ma, some winds still blowing I'm over pretending knowing it all As I hit the floor It's gonna be a long, long day Looking for a long, long winter Planning on an easy way To get around the whole thing quicker Trick of the mind for a minute Was only lying to myself Pushing my luck to the limit Putting the poison on the shelf Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
David Laws Love Jonsí. And I've heard that lullaby in a movie, and it's hauntingly beautiful. Not sure which movie or whether knowing would make a difference to how beautiful this song is already. Thanks for writing the name of the lullaby.
It is called "Suo Gân," which is a Welsh lullaby. Makes sense since his song is "Look Ma!" The tune has been used in many hymns and other songs too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UM9uyA0wVIA.html ...and that might not be a woman ;)
GO JAMES!!!! I WAS LEGIT JUST GONNA SAY THATTTT!! DO YOU THINK HE GOT THE SAMPLE FROM THE FILM TRACK CUZ THAT WOULD BE EPIC - it's such a brilliant film whew @@jamesharbour7311
We originally sampled it straight from "Empire of the Sun", but it needed Steven Spielberg's approval, so we got a Welsh choirboy to resing it and I rechopped it.
