This is my fave tune at the moment. This song sends my mind to places that I sometimes never want to visit, and other times, well, it's just where I am.
The video origami is pretty impressive too.

One of these things first
Artist: Nick Drake
I could have been a sailor, could have been a cook
A real live lover, could have been a book.
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
I could be
Here and now
I would be, I should be
But how?
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.
I could have been your pillar, could have been your door
I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more.
Could have been your statue, could have been your friend,
A whole long lifetime could have been the end.
I could be yours so true
I would be, I should be through and through
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.
I could have been a whistle, could have been a flute
A real live giver, could have been a boot.
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
I could be even here
I would be, I should be so near
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.

The video reminded me of the Origami show that was on Australian TV in the 1970's or 80's. We'd sit in front of the TV with our coloured squares of paper and try to follow the chap doing all the folding.
Thanks for this song Muz.
I can understand there are times when you wouldn't want to visit it.
Glad to hear this is where you are at the moment.
Take care.
