Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer // Spotify

I have loved this song since I was a youngster, definitely before the age of 10. Why so young? Well, this actually came out when I was a year old SOOOOOO….

I remember hearing this song as a kid on the radio and even back then, music made me daydream. I was a quiet kid even at home or in the car. Sure I had my moments, but when the music was on, I’d escape into daydreams and think about the lyrics (the ones I knew and the ones I tried to understand).

I’d be in the backseat of the Oldsmobile Toronado my parents had (I loved that car and all its quirks) and this would come on. It was the perfect spot back there to lean my head over to the right and just dream. Many times I fell asleep and I remember this song coming on. It would be late at night and perfect for when it would say

Kiss me beneath the milk twilight

Lead me out on the moonlit floor

Lift your open hand

Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance

Silver moon’s sparkling

So, kiss me

Kiss Me made me think of being a princess. I don’t know whyyyyy. I mean, this is also the same kid who at Christmas thought jumping over the giant (giant to me, I might add) floor vent would help me practice being a reindeer.

I think this was the song that got me dreaming about my future husband. I still haven’t been enlightened in that area, but I’m sure he’s around somewhere and maybe listening to this same song because he has good tastes.

I would hear this song and then it felt like ages that I didn’t hear it. I was in a different time and place, I wasn’t listening to that radio station, they weren’t playing the song… I don’t know. But I remembered it. I just couldn’t remember it. It was on the tip of my tongue, at the fray of my memory. One day I heard it, I don’t know when, but I did and I’ve never forgotten it.

It gets me dreaming and anytime I just need to be cheered up, it’s there for me and also boosts my imagination.

Fun fact that I found out in the past year or two during my readings was that their band name comes from C S Lewis’ book Mere Christianity which is really cool because I love that guy.

I actually feel like I’ve blogged about this in some way, but… I don’t know. It wasn’t this post and I love this song so I don’t mind sharing again. 🙂
