Stuck in my head

I just recently saw the movie Once. I'm not entirely sure how to describe it. It's an independent film that's being tagged as a musical - but not sure I would call it a musical. It's about these two people who meet and then make a demo record. Now of course there's more to it than that, but that's the simplified version. During the course of the movie there is a lot of music involved because that's what they are doing - making music. So, it's more of a move with music in it.

Crappy synopsis aside -this movie captivated me. I've been thinking about pretty much non-stop since I saw it last Saturday night. I went out and bought the soundtrack and it's all I've played in my car since. I'm not sure exactly what it is about this movie that has me so enthralled - but I can't get it out of my mind. So, I share with you. These are the lyrics to a song called "Gold." It's one of my favorites.

And I love her so
I wouldn't trade her for gold
I'm walking on moon beams
I was born with a silver spoon
And I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free
I'm walking on moon beams
and staring out to sea

and if a door close
then a road for home start building
and tear your curtains down
for sunlight is like gold

And you better be you
And do what you can do
When you're walking on moon beams
Staring out to sea
Cause if your skin was soil
How long do you think before they start digging
and if your life was gold
how long would you think you'd stay livin'?
Hey

And I love her so
I wouldn't trade her for gold
