Closer to Fine

I found my new personal anthem. Well actually, almost every song by the Indigo Girls speaks to me in some way or another, but this one constantly connects with me. 


"I'm trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white

And the best thing you've ever done for me

Is to help me take my life less seriously
It's only life after all

Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it
I'm crawling on your shores

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
There's more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
(The less I seek my source)
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine"




I think I love them so much because of how personal their music is. Whether I'm struggling with my own identity, my relationship with others, school, or anything else, I find peace in this song.

  1. Just gave a listen... A really good song, it's definitely yanking at my sympathies.
    I love: "I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains, I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains." Can certainly relate, in searching for cures for happiness.
