Laura Jean Thompson - When You Look at Me (Ode to Rumi)

about

Laura was one of those rare unexpected soulmate-friends that you don't really meet you just finally find. We both began playing music publicly in a Female Songwriter Series called "Four Women" in Chicago. I remember her timeless voice and lyrics immediately pulled me in.

After countless shows, glasses of wine, and good conversations, I was honored to be asked to write and sing harmonies for a few songs on her debut album "River of Doubt". It was Laura who even introduced me to Joyride Studio and Brian Leach where I am now following in her footsteps and recording my own debut album.

lyrics

I like it when you look at me, when you look at me that way
I like it when you look at me with nothing to say
With that sweet, crooked smile
And your eyes fixed on mine
I like it when you look at me, when you look at me that way

I like it when you wonder, wonder, wonder what I'm thinking
I like it when we stay up all night long, laughing and drinking
When the truth spills out
What this love's all about
I like it when you wonder what I'm thinking

Whirl, dance, cry, sing close your eyes
Circle, spin, run away, go back be surprised
And never, oh, never deny
When your love's so strong, feel so alive

I like it when we let go, let go, let go, with thoughtless abandon
I like it when we dance around in circles with your hands - in - mine
And there is no turning around
Once your feet hit the ground
I like when we let go, let go, let go, with thoughtless abandon

I like it when you look at me, when you look at me that way with nothing to say
