Song #17 Soma Holiday (For KP)
Download MP3 Here!

Well, if you've ever read Brave New World then you'd know what a Soma Holiday is...this song is pretty self explanatory except for maybe that phrase. The cool part is that I AM working as a mail clerk right now!

Soma Holiday
Words/Music by Matt Hopper

I’ll send a message to you my darling
I gotta wrestle with the thought that I’m living alone
It’s been the easiest winter at least it easy till I met her
Once I saw her smile my world turned upside down

Won’t you meet me for a soma holiday
Cause it’s hard to hear you when you’re so far far away

I’ll keep in touch cause I’m working as a mail clerk
I’ll spend my days wondering how were gonna make this work
I’ll make another invitation and you can visit without hesitation
Cause I want to see you again and again and again

Won’t you meet me for a soma holiday
Cause it’s hard to hear you when you’re so far far away

I wish we lived closer so I wouldn’t have to call
I could just come over and we would have a ball
I wish I lived closer so you could be my dancing queen
We’d make our own little world, we could do anything

never read "brave new world." but this is fun. the bridge in this one is sweet.

It's a worthwhile read, Burr...and not too long. So glad you like the bridge...this one is fun to sing, I've been humming it all day long.

it's been a long time since i read that book. i bought a lot of aldous huxley after that, but i don't think i ever read any of it. nice song. i like the guitar intro. i just listened to "poor madeline" about 10 times. i'm way behind.
