Wool & Words

I've been listening to The Proclaimers quite a bit lately. There's something about two brothers singing honestly and plainly about life, love, loss and such that is just so appealing.

So today I share with you one of their most uplifting songs. You can hear it here.

"The Joyful Kilmarnock Blues"

I'm not going to talk about doubts and confusion
On a night when I can see with my eyes shut

I'd never been to Ayrshire
I hitched down one saturday
Sixty miles to Kilmarnock
To see Hibernian play
The day was bright and sunny
But the game I won't relay
And there was no Kilmarnock bunnet
To make me want to stay

But I'm not going to talk about it
On a night when I can see with my eyes shut

When I started walking at Wishaw
My eyes obscured my vision
After five miles on my way
I began to learn to listen

I walked through the country
I walked through the town
I held my head up
And I didn't look down

The question doesn't matter
The answer's always "aye"
The best view of all
Is where the land meets the sky.

Take a look at this beautiful world with your eyes closed. Rejoice in life and all it has to give. Happy Easter!
