sugar mountain.
original lyrics by neil young.
my time in alaska was one of transformation, inspiration + easily the best professional/artistic experience i've ever had.
not only was i completely in love with my character, Lauren Huxley, but i was in love with every person on the cast + crew. i flew to alaska as one woman and flew out another. i'm forever changed and realize how lucky i am. bob hoskins was right. acting is the best job in the world.
it's been hard for me to express my experience fully in words, thus i will allow neil young + my terrible hot dog style videos to do the talking for me.
cheers.

oh to live on.
sugar mountain.
with the barkers
and the colored balloons.
you can't be twenty
on sugar mountain.
though you're thinking that
you're leaving there
too soon.
you're leaving there
too soon.
it's so noisy at the fair
but all your friends are there.
and the candy floss you had.
and your mother and your dad.
oh to live on.
sugar mountain.
with the barkers
and the colored balloons.
you can't be twenty
on sugar mountain.
though you're thinking that
you're leaving there
too soon.
you're leaving there
too soon.
there's a girl just down the aisle
oh to turn and see her smile.
you can hear the words she wrote.
as you read the hidden note.
oh to live on
sugar mountain.
with the barkers
and the colored balloons.
you can't be twenty
on sugar mountain.
though you're thinking that
you're leaving there
too soon.
you're leaving there
too soon.
now you're underneath the stairs.
and you're giving back some glares.
to the people who you met.
and it's your first cigarette.
oh to live on
sugar mountain.
with the barkers
and the colored balloons.
you can't be twenty
on sugar mountain.
though you're thinking that
you're leaving there
too soon.
you're leaving there
too soon.
now you say you're leaving home.
cause you want to be alone.
ain't it funny how you feel
when you're finding out it's real?
oh to live on
sugar mountain.
with the barkers
and the colored balloons.
you can't be twenty
on sugar mountain.
though you're thinking that
you're leaving there
too soon.
you're leaving there
too soon.
