Songs to Be Born To

It's been five days since my water broke and I began my 18 hour journey toward giving birth to Lucas Daniel Rockefeller. There are so many things I want to say and record. I picked this song for Lucas's labor and delivery soundtrack (I like to make soundtracks to important events in my life) because of its somnabulatory nature. It at first was just a love song to me, but now, especially knowing Rhett Miller is a father, I think it is a love song to his children. This really sums up how literally HIGH I feel when I am holding Lucas. No matter how sleep deprived, hungry, or feeling-hit-by-a-train I am, this is just...it.

Lashes by Rhett Miller>*listen*
On the long long lashes of your look
The one you give that says you love me
You don't even have to say you love me
I was long gone long before that look
But now that it's a part of my life
It's by far the best part of my life
I could live on your love
And nothing else if I had to
On the long thin fingers of the dawn
The ones that we let wrap around us
Now that happiness has found us
I did not have strength to carry on
But I have got strength to spare now
I have come up for air now
I could live on your love
And nothing else if I had to
I could live on your love
And nothing else if I had to
I could live forever
I could conquer anyone
I could probably fly out of this place
I could make a circle around the sun
I could be so far away
That I would be a memory
But every time I hold you in my arms
There's no other place I'd rather be
I could live on your love
And nothing else if I had to
I could live on your love
And nothing else if I had to
And nothing else if I had to
