Here's another song I stumbled upon on YouTube. Again, first found it as a cover which led me to find the original artist. No offense to anyone reading that happens to be a fan of Bright Eyes but, yeah, definitely not digging the original. I mean, it has it's charm but still...heard it first by Meghan Julius and, well, she's probably one of the best cover artists I've heard in a long time that actually matches, if not bests, the original. And in this case, it's a whole lot better, IMO.

But since I still have respect for original artists and since the lyrics to this song is awesome, I have their video posted up in my profile. If you can, though, definitely check out Meghan's version of it 3nodding

Bright Eyes

First Day Of My Life

This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours was the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go

So I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever, I especially am slow
But I realized how I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning?
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
You felt as if you just woke up

And you said
"This is the first day of my life
Glad I didn't die before I met you
Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy."

So if you want to be with me
With these things there's no telling
We'll just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery

Besides, maybe this time is different
I mean, I really think you like me
