All Was Golden in the Sky

According to Albert Camus, ¨Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is in flower.¨ I love this quote because, if you´ve read other posts, you know I love autumn more than any other season. But I want to revisit summer today with my SotD.

Probably to Amanda´s frustration, I only like Panic at the Disco´s ¨Pretty.Odd.¨ album. Basically because it´s less hard punk rock and more orchestrated like music from The Beatles. The whole album, to me, is great. One of my favorite songs is below.

After class, I came home around 1:30p and took a 2 hr nap. What finally woke me up was the sun shining in my eyes. The sun was actually behind our apartment just enough to shine on my mirror and bounce onto my bed, making a long trail up the sheets and up into my face. As soon as I was conscious, I stayed still with my eyes closed, the sun warming my body, my vision all white, and I heard this song in my head. It´s a tad trippy, but it´s beautiful to me. This will always be my song of two summers ago. Listen and read the lyrics, even if it isn´t in the middle of summer...



When the Day Met the Night

When the moon fell in love with the sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night

When the sun found the moon
She was drinking tea in a garden
Under the green umbrella trees
In the middle of summer

When the moon found the sun
He looked like he was barely hanging on
But her eyes saved his life
In the middle of summer

In the middle of summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer, all was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer
Golden when the day met the night

So he said, "Would it be all right
If we just sat and talked for a little while
If in exchange for your time, I give you this smile?"

So she said, "That's okay
As long as you can make a promise not to break my little heart
Or leave me all alone in the summer."

Well, he was just hanging around
Then he fell in love
And he didn't know how
But he couldn't get out
Just hanging around
Then he fell in love

In the middle of summer
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer, all was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
Summer

When the moon fell in love with the sun,
All was golden in the sky,
All was golden when the day met the night

Summer
The middle of summer, summer, summer, summer
The middle of summer, summer, summer, summer
The middle of summer, summer, summer, summer
The middle of...
