For The Rose(s)

Our House (Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young)

"I'll light the fire
You place the flowers in the vase
That you bought today

Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me
Only for me

Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is gold
Such a cosy room
The windows are illuminated
By the sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you

Our house is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause of you
And our la,la,la, la,la, la, la, la, la, la, la.....

Our house is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause of you

I'll light the fire
And you place the flowers in the vase
That you bought today"

Graham Nash wrote this sentimental tune about his cohabitation with Joni Mitchell in a cottage in L.A.'s Laurel Canyon around 1969. Mitchell and Nash were a romantic couple during the period in which Joni wrote the songs for Ladies Of The Canyon which, like Deja Vu, was released in 1970. (www.songfacts.com)

Joni Mitchell altså. What a godess. Ikke bare er hun tidenes singer og tidenes songwriter. Hun fikk Nash til å skrive denne sangen til seg. Respekt!
Sangen er jo perfekt, med et lite unntak: Jeg ville heller hatt "two dogs in the yard". Katter er så ekle.
Snille hunder, vel å merke!

Hehe, nok ein gong ein fin post. Men no, Maren, vil eg utfordre deg til å skrive ein post om Gaza-krigen, det kan bli interessant, eller kva?
