One of my characters is a Ben Harper fan…
at least, he’s a fan in the early part of the book. Ben’s music would be a good soundtrack though for much of the story.
“Research”, oh such a dour word for what I spent some time doing this afternoon, led me to a new video of Ben’s from his latest album Both Sides of the Gun. The video is directed by Heath Ledger (yes that Heath) and is a beautiful depiction of the song Morning Yearning. Here are the lyrics for the video link already posted:
A finger’ s touch upon my lips
It’ s a morning yearning
Pull the courtains shut, try to keep it dark
But the sun is burning
The world awakens on the run
And will soon be yearning
With hopes of beter days to come
It’ s a morning yearning
Another day, another chance to get it right
Must i still be learning
Baby crying kept us up all night
With her morning yearning
Like a summer rose, i’ m a victim of the fall
But i’ m soon returning
Your love’ s the warmest place the sun ever shines
My morning yearning
