Dear Josh Ritter, thank you for making this song. Its the only time in my life I've ever wanted my name to be Kathleen rather than Katie. Its such a beautiful song from one of my favorite singer-songwriters. Especially this performance of it live from back in 2008. (You know there is something wrong in the world when this only has 23,000 views on youtube in comparison to Justin Bieber videos which get 30 million.) Either way take a moment and enjoy the beauty of this song and these lyrics. This Kathleen must be a pretty special lady...
"All the other girls here are stars.... you are the Northern Lights
They try to shin in through your curtains... you're too close and too bright
They try and they try but everything that they do
Is the ghost of a trace of a pale imitation of you"
*swoon*
