Day 12 - Amber by 311

So I was watching "50 First Dates" the other day ... (for those of you who haven't watched this movie, it is a light-hearted comedy starring Adam "Goofy" Sandler and Drew "Cute" Barrymore) ... and heard this track "Amber" for the first time.
It was apparantly written by the lead singer of the band 311 , Nick Hexam, for his then fiance, Nicole Scherzinger (of the Pussycat Dolls fame).

It has got a smooth mellifluous reggae feel with the most amazing lyrics for the chorus ...

"Amber is the color of your energy,

Shades of gold displayed naturally"

It seriously lifts my spirits and takes me gliding through the air ... floating away to a paradise with clear blue skies and pure white sand ... the soft rays of the sun on my face ... almost ... well ... amber ... *sigh*
