It's been quite awhile since I've done a Lyrimage. They are very time consuming, but I do love creating them! I heard "Fields of Gold" sung by Eva Cassidy during Savasana (the final rest/meditation pose) of my most recent yoga class, and I floated away into a vast sea of sunny bliss.
The song was originally written and recorded by Sting, who had purchased a house near a barley field. The sunsets, the colors, and his love at the time were his lyrical inspiration. It's a chronological story of a man's courtship, marriage, and eventual death.
Eva's version touches me a little bit more, only because she has since passed away and her voice is like an angel singing me to sleep. You can listen here. Please enjoy :)
