This song struck me the first moment I heard it.  Something about its quiet pensiveness, it’s slight melancholy vibe remained with me. By happenstance it was playing as I was writing yesterday, then realization dawned that it goes perfectly with my current heroine.  It highlights her journey, her past hurts and pains, and the future decisions and choices she has to make.

Once upon another time
Before I knew which life was mine
Before I left the child behind me
I saw myself in summer nights
And stars lit up like candle light
I make my wish but mostly I believed…
