One of the songs I love the most...And a song that especially resonates with my live here in Kyoto, where the only really meaningfully positive things that are happening and are precious and valuable, and give me joy, are my visits to some of the many gardens of Buddhist temples.
I visit some of them very often, and have seen them in every season.
In solitude.
Waiting.
The lyrics of the song (and the video) appear simple and very austere, but I think that this song is immense in meaning, deep, powerful and while using so few words, in fact the things it says are so many...
Like a Japanese Zen garden.

"The Garden" lyrics:
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me waiting through spring and summer
You will find me waiting waiting for the fall
You will find me waiting for the apples to riped
You will find me waiting for them to fall
You will find me by the banks of all four rivers
You will find me at the spring of consciousness
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain
