"Measuring a summer's day.
Only find it slips away to grey."

Been a Splinter Since: 1992
Reason: How could something so perfect, soft and peaceful as a summer's day have any standard for measure? And how could something so perfect turn into a rainstorm in minutes. It makes me think that anything can happen.
Thoughts/Memories: 1. Driving to Vermont with Matthew and Murry in the Sunbird for a weekend of drinking/fishing at a time in my life when a summer job and school were my only responsibilities. 2.Endless summer days during an endless summer on the farm during my childhood.

Where Soul Meets Body

"Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
Where soul meets body."
(listen to the song)

Reason: The imagery of "Soul meets body". Sort of like "land meeting sky" on the horizon; something impossible, it never really happens but seems like it could or should.
Thoughts: I like the way this line sounds : "A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere". It reminds me of being in love so intensely it's like the skin on your forehead hurts from a sinus infection.
