Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane (Natural Born Killers soundtrack)
Anyone who’s ever had a heart
Wouldn’t turn around and break it
And anyone who’s ever played a part
Wouldn’t turn around and hate itI think this is one of the most romantic songs ever, especially with Juliette & Woody’s Mickey & Mallory introducing the song. Beautiful.

Helen: Dash… This is the third time this year you’ve been sent to the office. We need to find a better outlet, a more… constructive outlet.
Dash: Maybe I could if you’d let me go out for sports.
Helen: Honey, you know why we can’t do that.
Dash: But I promise I’ll slow up. I’ll only be the best by a tiny bit!
Helen: Dashall Robert Parr, you are an incredibly competitive boy and a bit of a show off. The last thing you need is temptation.
Dash: You always say “Do your best” but you don’t really mean it. Why can’t I do the best that I can do?
Helen: Right now, honey, the world just wants us to fit in and to fit in we just gotta be like everybody else.
Dash: But Dad always said our powers were nothing to be ashamed of, our powers made us special.
Helen: Everyone’s special, Dash.
Dash: Which is another way of saying no one is. -

Ten years ago my son was born weighing just 1 pound 6 ounces. He fit from the top of his head to his rump perfectly in my hand. I know this because the day he was born I was his nurse who admitted him into the NICU where I work. For better or for worse, his bio parents walked away after he was born fearing that because of his extreme premature birth he would be damaged. Two days later I realized that I had fallen in love with my patient. Two weeks later my husband declared that he too was in love with this baby boy. Two months later we held him in our arms for the first time named by the court as his foster/adoptive parents. He weighed just 2 pounds then. Two weeks after his 1st birthday the adoption was final and he completed our family circus. To celebrate I had my very first tattoo, an exact replica of his inch long footprints taken at birth to represent the saying “Not flesh of my flesh, Not bone of my bone/But still, miraculously, my own./And never forget for a minute/You weren’t born under my heart, but in it.”
You weren’t born under my heart, but in it.

Hey baby, it’s easy
to believe in you and me
The smiling, the laughing
It’s comin’ so easily
It’s a funny thing, this love thing
It only falls into my arms
When I’m not looking for it at all
Hey baby, you’re doing
All the things that make me
Sing sing sing sing sing sing
Untying these heartstrings
That I’ve been triple knotting
I wanna take it slow and that’s okay with you
See I’m finished making the same old mistakes
I won’t let us fall
You put a smile
You put a smile on my heart
You put a smile
You put a smile on my heart
They’re coming all undone
My heartstrings
Hey darling, see these wings?
They’re not clipped anymore
I’m singing and shaking off
My silence with this voice
It’s a funny thing, this love thing
You’re always on the
Same page, same line, same letter
We’re gonna go far -
oh love!
