Little Person (Synecdoche, New York)

Little Person by Jon Brion

I'm just a little person.
One person in a sea.
Of many little people.
Who are not aware of me.
I do my little job.
And live my little life.
Eat my little meals.
Miss my little kid and wife.
And somewhere maybe someday.
Maybe somewhere far away.
I'll find a second little person.
Who will look at me and say.
I know you.
You're the one I've waited for.
Let's have some fun.
Life is precious.
Every minute.
And more precious with you in it.
So let's have some fun.
We'll take a road trip.
Way out West.
You're the one.
I like the best.
I'm glad I found you.
Like hanging round you.
You're the one.
I like the best.
Somewhere maybe someday.
Maybe somewhere far away.
Somewhere maybe someday.
Maybe somewhere far away.
Somewhere maybe someday.
Maybe somewhere far away.
I'll meet a second little person.
And we'll go out and play.

"There are millions of people in the world. And none of those people is an extra. They're all leads in their own stories."

ballad for a lonely night..

[liambrownmusic]

I keep coming back to this song, it has so much resolve, weight and beauty.

[shahoney]

Does anyone know if the tiny piano part of the song from 1:21 to 1:34 was sampled from another song??? It sounds VERY familiar.

@xxcityescape If you will do what you dont want,your life can become like this. Dont use stereotipes to create your life,be YOURSELF.

[egzit]

@xxcityescape I'm 27, lived the last 10 years feeling scared and depressed. Only now did i find something to build my life around that makes me feel good and confident. Sorry that you feel that, I relate and can't ignore your comment. No one should feel that at 16, your life is YOURS. Set yourself an objective that will make you happy.

All the best to you. If you ever want to let off some steam we can exchange e-mails through PM.

best wishes (sincerely) and a fearless 2012

@xxcityescape at 16...don't be scared to death of anything...be fearless...you have nothing to lose and Everything to gain

[JacksInn]

Don't worry.

This was a beautiful movie, this is a beautiful song. They both have beautiful messages to send out to the world, or anyone who will listen, really.

[theoubliette]

It is a female voice but I think she sings from the point of view of the protagonist of the film Synecdoche, New York. This is highlighted in the lyric "miss my little kid and wife". But it can be used interchangeably, I mean, many people feel small in this world.

@Postfrogish well put :)

[Postfrogish]

Sad as it is, this seems to be the way of our time. A time of praising Individualism has made us believe that I am separate from You. And therefore I am doomed to be alone IN this world.

What we are forgetting, and what I believe this song is pointing out, is that I am as much separate from this world, and from You, as my arm is separate from my leg.
