Megan just sent me this video of her playing John Denver’s “Around and Around”. If you know much about me or my musical influences, you’ll recognize John Denver as one of my earliest folk singer favorite (thanks to summer camp). Most of his songs make me nostalgic.
This is played in the style of Sun Kil Moon (and Redhouse Painters) lead singer, Mark Kozalek – who is one Meg’s main influences. Check out her YouTube channel for more songs and videos.

Lyrics (by request):
Time as I’ve known it
Doesn’t take much time to pass by me
Minutes into days turn into
months turn into years
They hurry by me
Still I love to see the sun go down
And the world go around
Dreams full of promises
Hopes for the future
I’ve had many
Dreams
Faded memories
Still I love to see the sun go down
And the world go around
And I love to see the morning
As it steals across the sky
I love to remember
And I love to wonder why
And I hope that I’m around
So I can be there when I die
When I’m gone
I hope that you will think of me
In moments when you’re happy
And you’re smiling
And that the thought will comfort you
On cold and cloudy days
If you are crying
And that you’ll love to
see the sun go down
And the world go around
And around and around
