I was watching The Upside of Anger earlier this week. It wasn't the greatest movie but the soundtrack was decent and that can have persuasive power over my judgment. Anyway, I loved this song that ran during the closing credits. It's written and sung by Marc Cohn.
Possibly in light of too many late nights recently or too much time spent in introspection following the events of this week, it really has been a constant thought in my contemplative mind this week: we seek safety, crave it even. It's a basic human need, no matter the context. I'm too tired to drone on and on in this post (aren't you lucky?!) so I'll simply close with the lyrics to this very mellow song.
One Safe Place
How many roads you’ve traveled
How many dreams you’ve chased
Across sand and sky and gravel
Looking for one safe place
Will you make a smoother landing
When you break your fall from grace
Into the arms of understanding
Looking for one safe place
Life is trial by fire
And love’s the sweetest taste
And I pray it lifts us higher
To one safe place
How many roads we’ve traveled
How many dreams we’ve chased
Across sand and sky and gravel
Looking for one safe place

I saw this movie and also thought it wasn't great, but I did really like the last 10 minutes. And I loved the song too.
