I usually like to pick older songs, but I am truly enamored by Death Cab for Cutie's "Soul Meets Body." The lyrics are simple and sweet and evoke all sorts of emotions. While listening to this song I am reminded that I need to hug my wife more. The melody weaves in and out of my thoughts ...

If you are interested, NPR's All Songs Considered has a Death Cab for Cutie concert freely available. Also on NPR, Death Cab's Plans CD made their ten best CDs of 2005.

"I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what its like to be new

Cause in my head there's a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they're far more suited than here

I cannot guess what we'll discover
Between the dirt with our palms cut like shovels
But I know our filthy hand can wash one another's
And not one speck will remain

I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Where soul meets body ..."

I just happened to check on The Mirror Project, and I'm happy to see it's still going strong. Most of the pictures are of the of the typical sorts, but there are quite a few gems.

Here's one of my submissions from a couple of years back. Christmas time, shiny ornaments and a new camera. It's still one of my favorites.
