I had a lot of fun doing this layout. Gold Dust is one of my favorite Tori Amos songs. I decided to actually include the Scarlett's Walk CD/ into my layout. I have all my music on my computer and iPod so I don't actually listen to the CD anymore but still want to keep it. I also decided to include a photo of Tori from the Scarlett's Walk photos as well as a photo of my daughter to remind me that I need to holde dear those things in life that are so precious.
I printed the entire lyris on a transparency as well as my journaling on the inside of the CD flap. The lyrics are:
Sights and Sounds pull me back down another year
I WAS HERE I WAS HERE Whipping past the reflecting pool me and you skipping school And we make it up as we go along We make it up as we go along You said - You raced from Langley - pulling me underneath a Cherry Blossom canopy - Do I Have - Of course I have, Beneath my raincoat, I have your photograph. And the sun on your Face I'm freezing that frame And somewhere Alfie cries and says, "Enjoy his every smile You can see in the dark Through the eyes of Laura Mars" How did it go so fast you'll say as we are looking back and then we'll understand we held gold dust in our hands Sights and Sounds pull me back down another year I WAS HERE I WAS HERE Gaslights Glow in the street (flickering past) Twilight held us in her palm as we walked along And we make it up as we go along We make it up as we go along Letting names Hang in the Air What color hair (auburn crimson) Autumn knowingly Stared and the day that She came I'm freezing that Frame I'm freezing that frame And somewhere Alfie smiles and says, "Enjoy her every cry You can see in the dark Through the eyes of Laura Mars" How did it go so fast You'll say as we are looking back and then we'll understand we held gold dust in our hands in our hands
and the journaling reads:
"why Gold Dust...it reminds me of being a little girl & being oblivious to the things that I look back upon now that I find most precious now...my grandma's buttons, our crayon purse, my PaPa's Levi's...it's all as precious as Gold Dust. They made me who I am today, frozen frames in my mind & always making room for new precious ones."
