i wrote this song, Sangsuree, for my friend Nicole, a beautiful musician. a few years back, when my spirit was broken and I felt confused and completely unsure what i was supposed to be doing in the world, she was a beacon of hope for me. something in the way she sang reminded me of all the possibility and beauty in life, despite the pain we sometimes feel... she really ‘gave me back my smile’ to quote Joni Mitchell. not long after we met and went our separate ways, i found out that she had died in a highway accident in Chiang Mai, Thailand. stunned, and deeply grateful for her life, i wrote this song, Sangsuree.
lyrics
You were just a little bit older than me
And the way that you sang made me cry
I never told you but I can’t understand
You gave the world your heart
And it took your life
You were the lightning striking
And I was in the out in the cold
You were the moon in the night sky
I was out on my own
There I was a little bit younger than you
I didn’t have anything better to do
So let the rain and the sun come pouring down
And hit the roots so deep under the ground
I wanna feel the way that we did before
We went through all of this
Remember what you wished for
You were the lightning striking
And I was out in the cold
You were the moon in the night sky
I was out on my own
You were the lightning striking
And I was out in the cold
You were the moon in the night sky
I was out on my own
Yeah I was out on my own
