TO BUILD A HOME - THE CINEMATIC ORCHESTRA

I love this song, still a little sad but to me it is beautiful and romantic and brings forth images of two people who were in love. Two who shared this house of which he speaks, their lives through love and adversity and now I feel their dreams have turned to dust. The seeds of the tree which they planted together and watched grow, the tree which held them together through the hard times and now they have to leave. And it has a special meaning for me as I have this ongoing affinity with the grandeur and beauty of trees. The video was made by a fellow who calls himself 'Yellow Sphere', not the greatest of videos but I feel the sincerity was there. Please watch the video until the very end.

There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home

And I built a home
For you
For me

Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust

I'm in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sown by the colour of green
Ground had arose in past its knees

By the cracks of its skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held on me
I held on as tightly as you held on me

And I built a home
For you
For me

Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust...
