Behind every favorite song, there is an untold story
Een geocache over één van mijn favoriete popsongs.
Neem je smartphone en luister naar Christopher Cross.
Het nummer Think of Laura had Cross geschreven ter nagedachtenis aan Laura Coffin Carter.
Het meisje stierf op 18-jarige leeftijd in de auto van haar ouders door een verdwaalde kogel van rivaliserende drugsbendes die enkele straten verder in een vuurgevecht verwikkeld waren.
"Think Of Laura"
Every once in a while I'd see her smile
And she'd turn my day around
A girl with those eyes could stare through the lies
And see what your heart was saying
Think of Laura but laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
When you think of Laura laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
A friend of a friend, a friend till the end
That's the kind of girl she was
Taken away so young
Taken away without a warning
Think of Laura but laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
When you think of Laura laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
I know you and you're here
In every day we live
I know her and well, she's here
I can feel her when I sing
Hey Laura, where are you now
Are you far away from here
I don't think so
I think you're here
Taking our tears away
Think of Laura but laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
When you think of Laura laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
