OK
postcard nowhere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's all around me and I want
Nothing more than a little hope
The sun sets, smoke your cigarette
Then we'll head back to the graveyard
Where we parked
Everything felt ok
When you were here
Now I'm sitting here alone
I can't help but check my phone
I can't sleep
"Ok" by Postcard Nowhere is a beautiful and moving song about hope, longing, and loss. The opening line, "Smell the air, the summer wind," sets a melancholy mood, and as the song progresses, we are taken on a nostalgic journey through the singer's past. The summer wind represents a time of happiness and contentment, and the singer longs to feel that way again. However, the past cannot be recaptured, and the singer is left feeling alone and disconnected from the world around them.
As the song continues, we hear about the singer's time spent with someone they cared about. The evening was spent smoking cigarettes and talking as they watched the sun set. As they part ways, there is a feeling of contentment and peace, but it is short-lived, and the singer is left feeling empty and unable to sleep. The final line, "I can't sleep," perfectly captures the sense of restlessness and longing that permeates the entire song.
Overall, "Ok" is a powerful and evocative song, full of emotion and meaning. It speaks to the universal themes of love, loss, and the passage of time, and is sure to resonate with anyone who has experienced these emotions.

Smell the air, the summer wind
Breathe in the warm summer breeze that engulfs me
It's all around me and I want
I enjoy the sensation so much that I crave for more
Nothing more than a little hope
All I ask for is a glimmer of light, a ray of hope to hold on to
The sun sets, smoke your cigarette
As the sun goes down, smoke one last cigarette
Then we'll head back to the graveyard
Back to the cemetery where we left the car
Where we parked
The spot where we parked the vehicle
I took you home and we parted ways
I dropped you off at your place and said goodbye
Everything felt ok
At that moment, everything felt right
When you were here
In your company, life was good
Now I'm sitting here alone
Without you, I sit here all by myself
I can't help but check my phone
I repeatedly check my phone in anticipation of a message from you
I can't sleep
Rest eludes me in the absence of your company

I was the head cook for a small, all-women catering business that felt a lot like Erin's kitchen. We were like family. No yelling, no big egos, everyone doing their part, everyone in sync. It was the best 20 years of my life. Erin is living my dream. She's terrific!

I love that she went back to her hometown. Her marketing strategy is brilliant--anything rare, anything special and in limited editions. The whole concept of a lottery reservation through post cards is Ingenius. The time and the care she takes into crafting seasonal and local flavors into what is essentially a work of art is not only beautiful to look at but a delightful surprise to the tastebuds. I don't know what her educational background is as far as running a business or culinary arts are concerned, but she has tapped into a very special and exclusive kind of niche very much like the French Laundry. If you make it...they will come. If you make it well, they will want it. And if you make it exclusive, they will want it more.

As a New Englander, Maine always has a special appeal and now Freedom, ME is a real destination. I like how there is only one menu and everyone is served the same meal & eats communally like a dinner party. You had me at the asparagus soup and the tiny turkey salt dishes used as butter oats. I am really happy for the success of this restaurant owner, I would love to read her book

As a Californian, now New Yorker, I’ve only ever been to Portland, Maine (don’t drive, so I’m often stuck visiting cities), but I’m so drawn to Maine. I want to see more!

I love her resilience and grit. She gets knocked down and keeps getting up. Not afraid of hard work. Not bitter about her past, sees it as part of the journey that led her here. I wish this view was more common and encouraged in homes, schools, media, entertainment...

Very smart about her boundaries, too.When it stops being fun she says she'll let it go, and move on to something else. It's that spark of love that keeps it alive for her.

This is my very favourite of your series yet! I love love LOVE this woman’s vulnerability, yet incredible strength. Those dark nights of the soul are what create this magic. The lack of competition and nurturing support is everything. My understanding of why or what made Thomas Keller decide to become a chef, was another chef explaining…it’s really just about nurturing and caring for people. True authentic Chefs nurture. I believe you can taste it in the food. This hidden gem in freedom is obviously all about that. One of these days I will write a postcard🎉❤🇨🇦🙋🏼♀️💐🕊

Mega respect for this gal, who knows how to survive and thrive and never say "I'm done." She's just begun, again! Kudos! And Girl, you inspire me, I have tears now too!

The perfect restaurant. All those films with cooks competing under enormous pressure, all the stress and shouting and even people being mean - it all totally puts me off the food and eating. This is how a restaurant should be run. Not just food for the body but also the soul.

Food for the soul, exactly!
