Song Prompt 2: Revolution By The Beatles

Image
You and I have conversations in my head. Everyday I plead with you to see sense and reason. I see you there and only wish I could move into your head... mostly so I could scream and you would actually hear me. If no one else is strong enough to make you hear than maybe I can be the John Lennon of my generation and cut off Medusa's head. Do you hear me? Standing so far over here? Do you hear me? Can you hear the people that disagree? Do you even care that they think you are wrong? In a general sense, we firmly believe that you should ignore those that speak against you. That you should speak from the heart and go for your dreams… But those that speak like you are rarely speaking of dreams, rarely speaking of truth; you only speak of money and power. You say you want a Revolution. Well, we all want to change the world… The world will be alright. The world will survive you.

Hello everybody! I recently had an idea to see if I could write a story based on music I heard. Now, this song (500 miles by the Proclaimers) in particular was chosen for me by the White Viking. He seemed to think this was an impossible song. Let's see how I did...  He was so in love. He still was not sure as to exactly when it hit him, but god was he in love with her. They had gotten a little apartment on the East End of Manhattan. It was their one bedroom safe haven and every single time she walked in the door he was genuinely happy to see her. They had met in college. She was in marketing and he was in the arts. It took him a long time to get up the nerve to ask her out but when he finally did her sole response was “God that took you forever.” She than simply smiled and walked away.
