Send "For You" Ringtone to Cell

If you're lost and feel alone
Circumnavigate the globe
All you ever have to hope for two

And the way you seem to float
Circumnavigate in hope
And they seem to lose control
With you

Everyone of us is hurt
And everyone of us is scarred
Everyone of us is scared
Not you

Your eyes closed
Your head hurts
Your eyes feel so low

Everyone of us is scared
Everyone of us is hurt
Everyone of us has hope

For you

    General Comment:"For you" is a favorite song of mine. We've all been alone at one time or another - and when I listen to this song; I see a compilation of my life in sequences of clips; some good, and some tough times, and times when I'm sitting somewhere alone, just thinking. The music is strangely mellow enough to make me feel indifferent, and how bitterness has made me a much wiser person than I ever thought I'd be.

    I started liking this song when I saw it on youtube, with clips from House M.D. with the slow intro in the background when Cameron and Wilson are talking about House. "Why does he hate his parents?" to which Wilson quipped a reply, "he hates being a disappointment." And Cameron then says "He's a doctor, world famous; how disappointed can they be?" and Wilson says "You know what I figure is worse than watching your kid become crippled? Watching him become miserable." and that was what hooked me to this song.

    General Comment:Great things are hard to come by in life. Like a great friend, or a great song, or a great pair of undies. Then there are things that leave you utterly speechless. This song is one of those things. I discovered it 3 or 4 years ago and have listened to it hundreds and hundreds of times and it never ceases to baffle me. It finds that something inside you that you cannot describe with words. The music and lyrics are so simple yet astounding. Lonely and hopeful. Poetic and practical.

    Can't believe no one has mentioned the bass in this song. Amazing.

    General Comment:This song makes me feel home.

    I'm leaving next year to live in Peru all alone, and it makes me think of that. Sigh. Idk.
