When my sister Sally turned like 30 or something I put together an elaborate music video of photos of her life...I titled it "30 Years of Sally"....or something like that, and I think my Bro-Law still brings it up as a joke every now and then, and we get a good laugh out of it.
At the time Sally and Brad still lived in Alaska and we missed seeing them...before the days of FaceTime and Skype, photos were the only way we knew what they looked like.
I backed the photos with a song by The Nixons...it is one of my all time favourite songs and completely describes the relationship Sally and I have...SO today I say, "Happy Birthday, Sister."
Enjoy the song, again or for the first time.
Here I am again, Overwhelming feelings A thousand miles away From your ocean home Part of me is near
Thoughts of what we were invade The miles that stand between We can't separate Your all I hoped you'd become
Sister I see you Dancing on the stage Of memory Sister I miss you
Fleeting visits pass Still they satisfy Reminders of the next Overshadow goodbye Our flames burn as one
Sister I see you Dancing on the stage Of memory Sister I miss you
All I am begins with you Thoughts of hope understood Half of me breathes in you Thoughts of love remain true
Here we are again saying goodbye Still we fall asleep underneath the same sky You're all I knew you'd become
Sister I see you Dancing on the stage Of memory Sister I miss you
Entwined, you and I Our souls speak from across the miles Intertwined, you and I Our blood flows from the same inside Half of me, breathes in you Thoughts of love remain true
I see you, I feel you When I close my eyes I see walking there... I see you dancing in my mind
