Kaki King - Life Being What It Is

Life Being What It Is
Artist: Kaki King
Album: Dreaming Of Revenge

Lyrics

You put a note in my pocket,
said be good to yourself,
but that was all.

Life being what it is,
we all dream of revenge.
Open your eyes for a second,
just to roll them at me.

I stare straight into the sun,
something to concentrate on.

And if you turn it on you'll find,
I've written you a thousand times.
You would do anything,
you'd give up everything,
for God knows why.

I just can't stay till you're gone,
I won't wish you well,
I won't see you off,
I won't try to call,
if I see you in my mind,
I'll say to you,
its not your fault.

You said I'll see you in September,
but that's not long enough for me.
you put a note in my pocket,
so it would take care of me.
But that was all.

You know those shivers you get down your back when something really touches the spirit? Ya, this song can do that.

-in my opinion-

[noodles1fan]

burr i'm always gettin shivers

[jrowbott]

I know none of you care which is cool, but I bought this cd 3 years ago about 2 days after my girlfriend left me, the only person I've ever loved. No matter how much time has passed the entire cd brings back memories of feeling literally sick with sadness. Even as I have moved on, this cd especially this song takes me back to the hardest time in my life. Sorry for the downer story. I'm just venting I guess.

Kaki needs to come to New Orleans, like how about NO Jazzfest 2012? Guarantee she'll kill in whatever format she chooses to do it. We are insatiable when it comes to great music or great food. Come on Kaki. Be careful though, you might just decide to stay forever! (Worse things could happen.)

This song is very profound. I mean, listen to the lyrics. that's some powerful stuff there!

[chemoman1]

I'm so learning to play this song no matter what. I love it!

[Akhin]

Too beautiful . . .

[Valecita483]

3 people were shivering so hard from this song that they missed the Like button.

[girlwithanattitude]

This is just beautiful.

@monadwill Curious that you would feel compelled to qualify such a poignant sentiment with acknowledgement of your subjectivity. It doesn't seem to invalidate it, simply a curious sort of truth.
