Zee Avi "Let Me In"

Maybe it's immature of me as an artist or maybe it's the renaissance girl in me that loves all the arts- but I really prefer when the music matches my subject matter as much as the dance itself. For this piece, I'm starting with a song by Zee Avi, called "Let Me In." It provided a nice soundtrack when I used an iTunes "genius" mix for today's rehearsal.



Bring me a lily and one loaf of bread
take me home now
I can't forget any words that you've said
but they're gone now
Trying my best to keep up with your pace
but you're too fast
Trying my best to get off of this fence
for I won't last

Maybe we can try to be better this time
Maybe we can try to be better this time

I'm just a speckle of dust
in this gigantic world now
And I'm going only where the wind will take me
bring me down now

And my smiles turn to tears
and I'm facing my fears
can't you see me
trying my best to reach out for your hand
you won't let me in
and I've done what I can
you keep changing your plans
do you need me

Maybe we can try to be better this time
Maybe we can try to be better this time

so let me in
let me in
let me in
let me in
let me….
