Learn to play

You're trying to read and you realize you've completely coasted through the last page without noticing a single word because Beck playing in the background got you thinking of how far he has come from the olden days of his first album - not only in popularity but also in musical skill - and then you start to dream about how nice it would be to learn an instrument and get better yourself. Why not?

this song always gets to me

It's 'to the sea' by Yello
(sung by the amazing Stina Nordenstam)

Away...
Away...

You may have many problems
But I was never one
All I ask is take me to the sea

You had to take me somewhere
I realize it now
Listen now just take me to the sea

Away from flickering nights and crowded streets
Away from blinding lights and shining needs
Away from person hiding, breathing hard
Away from always paying on your card

This will be my way out
And you will be my guide
Don't argue, take me to the sea

I'm only asking this once
Please take me for a ride
All I ask is take me to the sea

To the sea
To the sea
To the sea
To the sea

Then leave me with the seagulls
Smile your sweetest smile
I'll kiss you like the salty northern breeze

Drop silver on your forehead
And wave my last goodbye
All you do is take me to the sea

To the sea
To the sea
To the sea
To the sea...
