Another Morning Stoner by ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead is my #3 all-time favorite song (Yes, I do have a Top 100 list and once I update it, I'll post it). I love it not only because the band is amazing but because I love the lyrics which is a rarity for me. Usually I could not care less about the lyrics for quite awhile and it's the actual music that gets me to love a song. Much later I'll actually listen to the words and then the song is often even better. It's a nice system I've got going on I think:)
Anyway, Another Morning Stoner:
Are you asleep, are you in a dream?
The copper shades of a morning
Distant lights beckon & fade
Unwritten songs of another day
I fear that you would never be
Every song in the world for me
I took your hand, led you astray
You cursed the worlds I longed to save
Is heaven to you a perfect place?
The look of sorrow on a sufferer's face?
A field of lives to sow and reap
That some of us will never see
Why is it I don't feel the same?
Are my longings to be blamed
For not seeing heaven like you would see;
Why is a song a world for me?
What is forgiveness?
It's just a dream.
What is forgiveness?
It's everything.
The reason I'm posting the song and talking about it is because I want other people to be completely obsessive about music, too. I love that line, "Why is a song the world for me"! I'm making "Best of..." mixes and really want you to let me know if you want one! So far I've got:
Death Cab For Cutie
The Decemberists
Hey Mercedes
Elliott Smith
Smashing Pumpkins (2 discs)
I'll be making more today I hope. It's fun! My poor friends are stuck receiving all of my mixes;)

I'm the same way about not always listening to the lyrics right away. I think there are songs I listen to today (and have for years) that I still don't really have any idea what the song is about. I just know the emotion the music itself evokes.
Is this the song I used for the hand-holding scene in the spy movie? I do like the lyric, "I fear that you would never be
Every song in the world for me." I so put people on that kind of pedestal.
It IS the hand holding scene music. I'm slightly obsessed with this song (big surprise) and I, too, love that line.
