Birdland
by Patti Smith
"It was if someone had spread butter
On all the fine parts of the stars
Because when he looked up
They started to slip
"

Mm, I was encouraged to start posting again and figured... why not?

Recently I created a playlist entirely devoted to the new love of my life. And no, Andrew, I don't mean you. I mean Patti Smith. This song is utterly exceptional. I went through a period of about three days where all I would listen to was Free Money and then I delved a bit more and stumbled upon this track along with poppies and it was a gorgeous few days, ignoring the virus-y fever.

My dad said that this song reminded him of his father.

I wish I had more to say but to be honest I think that sums up what I love about Patti Smith. There's something incredibly intimate and real about how she describes life. The scenes that she describes are like nothing I have ever experienced or felt but I still feel incredibly connected to her.

Besides, this song is gorgeous <3
