Hastings,
Oh, sweet Hastings,
You are beautiful,
Yet so dark and cold.

You turn my pain
into sad melodies
and my soul
into painted gold

Hastings,
Oh, old hastings,
You are beautiful,
Yet so dark and cold.

Every beat,
just as out of tune as the last,
plays harshly against these old walls.
Simple sounds slay strong emotions.
Light wood, faded letters.
You're heart is stinging wine-
intoxicating,
Greater with each day you survive.

Hastings,
Oh, my Hastings.
You are beautiful,
Yet so dark and cold.

This can honestly be about anything. To me, this is about my piano. It's cheap and always out of tune, but still manages to be beautiful.
