Life's Lyrics 12 - On My Way (aka "Anger Management")

I always have my musical obsessions. Ingram Hill is one at the moment. They showed up earlier this year in Life's Lyrics 6 with a cover of Solsbury Hill.

I just burned this song to a CD. Just this one song. I keep it in my car and sing it loudly on repeat when things with the separation, divorce, and life with an ex-wife become difficult enough I need to scream. I figure singing is better than screaming. Plus, the band rocks.

I don't want your old letters
And I don't want to be friends
I've had enough to last a lifetime
and I don't wanna go again
I don't have to find a reason
And I don't have to answer why
It doesn't matter who is wrong here
I just wanna see you cry

And on my way I'll take the sunshine
On my way I'll take your dreams
On my way I'll say I'm sorry to no one but me

Let your family know I'm leavin
Lie to your girlfriends that you're well
Call and leave a cryin' message
I wanna know it hurts like hell

And on my way I'll take the sunshine
on my way I'll take your dreams
On my way I'll say I'm sorry to no one but me
On my way I'll be my own man
And I'll only please myself
On my way my pride's the only feeling I've got left

Blogbutt Afternoon

Sometimes you have to pull down your pants and slide on the ice -- Sidney (M.A.S.H.)

Ok. I apologize. I have a confession to make. And I know that what I am about to reveal may lose me one or two of my three readers, but it has to be shared. I think this is the funniest song I've ever heard.

Kimya Dawson just released a song called Alphabutt. The kids and I laughed so hard we fell on the floor. Then listened to it again. And again. This will easily be number one with a shot on my son's iPod.

This simply must be shared to the masses. So … blog, do your stuff. Spread the word.

Go.

..........

Ok, sit.

Stay.

Good, blog.

Life's Lyrics 11 - Forever to Reach

I get obsessed with songs. And I get obssessed with bands from time to time, as well. So, from my newly dubbed "favorite" band Pictures and Sound comes a song Forever to Reach.

There's a long line in front of me
Stretching out into infinity
And behind me it's the same thing

It takes a lot of strength to not collapse
As endless moments endlessly pass
And to make the most of where you're at
And realize ...

It took forever to reach and a moment to pass
Forever to reach and a moment to pass
It took forever to reach and a moment to pass
And now forever to vanish

We all travel at the speed of life
Hoping someday that we might arrive
But we're arriving all the time, all the time

The seasons turn and the rivers run
What we do now is what we will become
The young grow old and the old grow young
It's called life

It took forever to reach and a moment to pass
Forever to reach and a moment to pass
It took forever to reach and a moment to pass
And now forever to vanish

Close your eyes right now and count to ten
You're a different person than you were just then
We'll never get this chance again

It took forever to reach and a moment to pass
It took forever to reach and a moment to pass
It took forever to reach and a moment to pass
And now forever to vanish

It took forever to reach and a moment to pass
And now forever to vanish

I, literally, have no plans this weekend (save an hour or so of ignored yardwork and my favorite local band). So, I think I might go to school on how to make the perfect margarita over a few beers.
