There Must Be Something In The Air

So I have gone back and edited my post from January 8 morning because I got to thinking of the place that was, the place that is and the place that isn't.

I opened iPhoto and browsed through the old photos from the office, studying how different the place was even physically, a year ago. Photos from our Halloween-decorated cubicles, to Aubrey hopping around imitating a gerbil (we considered ourselves the gerbils in the office), to the Kelowna retreat. Then Tom Allen, finishing off CBC's playlist for Obama "49 Songs from North of the 49th Parallel", played Hard Road by Sam Roberts; a song I love more today than I ever have. THIS IS THE SONG I'll be playing over the next few days and weeks.

Feel, feel it grow
In your mind, in your mind
Life is how you live it
Through time, through time

And there's no desert sun that is hot enough to feed your fire
We shipwreck like fools only to become the ocean's choir
And the sun dies until it's reborn
But there's no road that ain't a hard road to travel on

Got lost on the way, but you found the road again
Stay true to your friends, cause they'll save you in the end

There must be something in the air, in the air
Some kind of answer to my prayers, to my prayers
Some kind of answer to my prayers
Been dying since the day I was born
'Cause there's no road that ain't a hard road to travel on

I have a vision in my mind of a life that I've left behind
Yeah, can't you see that lost souls can't swim
You know you'll sink, but you still jump in
And it's alright to get caught stealing back what you've lost
Yeah, don't you know that lost souls can't swim
You beat them back, but they drag you in
And I can't say that I am sorry for all my many sins

And you try to find a love that'll see you through your darkest days
And her soft brown hair is as long as the Canadian highway
When the sun dies until it's reborn
But there's no road that ain't a hard road to travel on

Been dying since the day I was born
'Cause there's no road that ain't a hard road to travel on

There must be something in the air,in the air
