Moderators Lee Knight Posted March 11, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted March 11, 2013 It hard to talk about this song without mentioning the Charlie Kaufman movie it was written for. Kaufman, the writer of Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, wrote and directed this one. Incredibly pretentious and insightful all at once. Like an epiphany and a pain in the neck. The best and worst thing you've seen on screen. It truly loses its head up its own ass. Oh... but what an ass. And its ultimately one of the saddest things I've seen... it's not the story that is sad, but what it reminds us about us and the truth, and the choices we made, and the ones we didn't... ...then this song by Jon Brion and lyrics by Kaufman himself plays over the closing credits and a little hope shines through the sadness. I think this is a freaking great song... I'm just a little personOne person in a seaOf many little peopleWho are not aware of me I do my little jobAnd live my little lifeEat my little mealsMiss my little kid and wife And somewhere, maybe somedayMaybe somewhere far awayI'll find a second little personWho will look at me and say "I know youYou're the one I've waited forLet's have some fun." Life is precious every minuteAnd more precious with you in itSo let's have some fun We'll take a road trip way out westYou're the one I like the bestI'm glad I've found youLike hangin' 'round youYou're the one I like the best Somewhere, maybe somedayMaybe somewhere far awaySomewhere, maybe somedayMaybe somewhere far awaySomewhere, maybe somedayMaybe somewhere far awayI'll meet a second little personAnd we'll go out and play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
