Song of the Moment: "Better Together" - Jack Johnson

There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing
But I can try for your heart,
our dreams, and they are made out of real things
like a shoebox of photographs
with sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer
at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
Why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

Mmmm, It's always better when we're together
Yeah we'll look at the stars and we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
just might find their way into my dreams tonight,
But I know that they’ll be gone
when the morning light sings
and brings new things
for tomorrow night you see
that they’ll be gone too,
too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
i was somewhere in between
With only two,
Just me and you,
Not so many things we got to do
or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree, now,

Yeah It's always better when we're together
Mmmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

I believe in memories
they look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
There is no, no song I could sing
and there is no combination of words I could say
but I will still tell you one thing
We're Better together

...

Me and my iTunes get so bombarded with media from random visitors/users that there's no way I can keep track of all the songs that get added. This song surfaced tonight and caught my attention because it was just so cute. Yesterday's song to surface was "Ache" by James Carrington. And then Monday, Mr. Bon Jovi did a cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" as one of his encore numbers--oh if I could have recorded that! Not only was his redition true to Mr. Cohen's romantic croon, but when the whole of the ACC sang along during the chorus and the entire complex echoed back the reverb of tens of thousands of voices singing together...!!! *sigh*

Definitely achingly better together, hallelujah.
