You know at first I didn't like these guys. They seemed to be just another in a long list of LA bands with the same old tired sound. I'm starting to get into them though. They are growing on me. Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks?

Meet Me In The Clouds Let Me Work It Out Don't You Take It Personal
So I'm useless for actual blogging right now ...
Go check out these two bands instead:
Army of Me - Alternative Rock, I suppose ...
Their whole CD plays automatically when you bring up their page
Under The Influence of Giants - Funk/Fusion/80s inspired
Three full tracks are available under music ("In The Clouds" is the song that got me turned on to this band but "Mama's Room" is catchy too)
Keep yourselves entertained ... I know how you get when you're bored
HelloGoodbye
With the obvious negative mood I've been under, I went looking for something to make me smile and bounce around my room like I so love to do.
I discovered the boppy, sometimes silly sounds of HelloGoodbye.** It was the first track, Here (in your arms), that sent me looking for them.
When I went looking for something mindless, it fit the bill perfectly (well at least on the first couple tracks) ... so I've been listening to them off and on the past two days.
If you're anything like me and need a stupid girl moment, check these boys out.
**Purevolume.com has a wide variety of music and genres where you can listen to full tracks for free. Well worth the look if you want to discover something beyond mainstream radio.
Better Late Than Never
But damn I wish I had found this song a few relationships ago ...
"Before He Cheats"
Right now he's probably slow dancing with a bleach blonde tramp,
and she's probably getting frisky...
right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink cause she can't shoot whiskey...
Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool-stick, showing her how to shoot a combo...
And he don't know...
That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seat...
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.
Right now, she's probably up singing some
white-trash version of Shania karaoke..
Right now, she's probably saying "I'm drunk"
and he's a thinking that he's gonna get lucky,
Right now, he's probably dabbing on 3 dollars worth of that bathroom polo...
And he don't know...
That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seat,
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.
I might saved a little trouble for the next girl,
Cause the next time that he cheats...
Oh, you know it won't be on me!
Ohh... not on me...
Cause I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seat...
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.
Ohh.. Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats...
Lyrics Worth a Date?
In a blatant cry for help to boost my spirits ... and since music is such an effective form of communication with my heart ... I'm posing an application to date me, of sorts ...
I'm asking readers - men and women alike - to leave a comment with the song lyrics they'd play for me in their version of a standing outside my window Say Anything moment. Or perhaps the lyrics they'd play mid-relationship as a reminder to me. Maybe just some sweet and touching words.
I'm constantly hearing lyrics that I wish were words said by someone that mattered ... so here's your chance to make a sad girl smile ...
1
Trouble me, disturb me with all your cares and you worries.
Trouble me on the days when you feel spent.
Why let your shoulders bend underneath this burden when my back is sturdy and strong?
Trouble me.
Speak to me, don't mislead me, the calm I feel means a storm is swelling;
there's no telling where it starts or how it ends.
Speak to me, why are you building this thick brick wall to defend me when your silence is my greatest fear?
Why let your shoulders bend underneath this burden when my back is sturdy and strong?
Speak to me.
Let me have a look inside these eyes while I'm learning.
Please don't hide them just because of tears.
Let me send you off to sleep with a There, there, now stop your turning and tossing.
Let me know where the hurt is and how to heal.
Spare me? Don't spare me anything troubling.
Trouble me, disturb me with all your cares and you worries.
Speak to me and let our words build a shelter from the storm.
Lastly, let me know what I can mend.
There's more, honestly, than my sweet friend, you can see.
Trust is what I'm offering if you trouble me.

A hard knock
A cold clock
Ticking off my time
A long look
But no luck
Couldn't seem to find
Or unwind
Into peace of mind
While I was trying
A quick glance
A big chance
My heart beat like a drum
I saw you
And I knew
Chances just don't come
Round again
Not like this
First a laugh
Then a kiss
And I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
The lost time
And self pride
Are my big mistakes
A clear voice
A bad choice
Sounding like an ache
In my day
Not too bad
But too real
To go away
But now I'm free in you
I've got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
And I don't know
How you show
Such gentle disregard
For the ugly in me
That I see
That for so long
I took so hard
(I took so hard)
And I truly believe
(I truly believe)
That you see the best in me
(That you see the best in me)
I'm in love
We all love
And that thought
Sets me free
Free in you
Got no worries on my mind
I know what to do
That's to treat you right
And love you kind
Thank you ever on my mind
Love is just like breathing
When it's true
And I'm free in you
Yes I'm free in you

Youve got a cute way of talking
You got the better of me
Just snap your fingers and Im walking
Like a dog hanging on your lead
Im in a spin you know
Shaking on a string you know
You make me feel like dancing
Im gonna dance the night away
You make me feel like dancing
Im gonna dance the night away
You make feel like dancing
I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing ahhh
Quarter to four in the morning
I aint feeling tired no no no no no
Just hold me tight and leave on the light
Cause I dont want to go home
You put a spell on me
Im right where you want me to be
You make me feel like dancing
I want to dance the night away
You make me feel like dancing
Im gonna dance the night away
You make feel like dancing
I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing
You take me higher
Im gonna catch on fire cause
You make me feel like dancing I wanna dance the night away
You make me feel like dancing Im gonna dance my life away
I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing dance the night away
I feel like dancing dancing ahhh
You really slipped me a potion
I cant get off of the floor
All this perpetual motion
You gotta give me some more
You gotta give me some more
And if youll let me stay well dance our lives away
You make me feel like dancing I wanna dance my life away
You make me feel like dancing I wanna dance my life away
You make me feel like dancing I wanna dance my life away
I feel
You make me feel like dancing
(of course, I'd have to hitch my britches up to hit the high notes in that falsetto)

She's a broken lady, waiting to be mended
Like a potter would mend a broken vase
A broken lady, waiting to be mended
And have what's left of the pieces put back in place
Her love is like a fortress around a man she would have died for
Taking care to take of all he needed
But the lady's fortress slowly turned into a prison
And the warning signs he gave she never heeded
She vowed every morning that what god joined together
No one else in the world could pull apart
And then the walls came tumbling to the ground
And her world came crashing down around her heart
She's a broken lady, waiting to be mended
Like a potter would mend a broken vase
A broken lady, waiting to be mended
And have what's left of the pieces put back in place
She's a broken lady, waiting to be mended
Like a potter would mend a broken vase
A broken lady, waiting to be mended
And have what's left of the pieces put back in place
Pretty song ... li'l mournful, but with just the right mix of sadness and hope. Sounds better than it reads, and the Gatlin Brothers did it proper.

Baby Im amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe Im afraid of the way I love you
Baby Im amazed at the the way you pulled me out of time
Hung me on a line
Maybe Im amazed at the way I really need you
Baby Im a man and maybe Im a lonely man
Whos in the middle of something
That he dosent really understand
Babe Im a man and maybe youre the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby wont you help to me understand
Baby Im a man and maybe Im a lonely man
Whos in the middle of something
That he dosent really understand
Babe Im a man and maybe youre the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby wont you help me understand
Baby Im amazed at the way youre with me all the time
Maybe Im afraid of the way I leave you
Baby Im amazed at the way you help me sing my song
You right me when Im wrong
Maybe Im amazed at the way I really need you

oh, and what woman, would not want to hear this...
We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you
One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue
And if you want love
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be awhile
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland
Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it
You want love?
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be awhile
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland
Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland
I'm never speaking up again
Now there's no reason
I've got the kind of love in my hands
To last all season

To the teller down at the bank
You're just another checking account
To the plumber that came today
You're just another house
At the airport ticket counter
You're just another fare
At the beauty shop at the mall
Well you're just another head of hair
Well that's alright, that's ok
If you don't feel important, honey
All I've got to say is
To the world
You may be just another girl
But to me
Baby, you are the world
To the waiter at the restaurant
You're just another tip
To the guy at the ice cream shop
You're just another dip
When you can't get reservations
'Cause you don't have the clout
Or you didn't get an invitation
'Cause somebody left you out
That's alright, that's ok
When you don't feel important honey
All I've got to say is
To the world
You may be just another girl
But to me
Baby, you are the world
You think you're one of millions but you're one in a million to me
When you wonder if you matter, baby look into my eyes
And tell me, can't you see you're everything to me
That's alright, that's ok
When you don't feel important honey
All I've gotta say is
To the world
You may be just another girl
But to me
Baby, you are the world

Havin' my baby!
What a lovely way of sayin'...
(Ha! That's a joke! If my gf see's this I'm dead!)
I suck donkey dicks at stuff like this, so just let me say: Thank you for having the forethought, ability, desire, and guts to organize the blogmeets. I'd never have met some of those folks if it weren't for you.

Steal a dollar from my mama's purse,
buy you that skull-and-crossbones ring,
You can wear it around your neck
on an old piece of string.
Steal a hacksaw from my daddy,
I'll cut those braces off you legs,
and bury them tonight
out in the cornfield.

If I win the date, I'll take a rain check until my next life. I am an old codger now. Too old to be dating sweet young ladies like you. Anyway, I thought you would like these lyrics. The band is not around anymore but I thought this song was great in its day.
So In To You
by Atlanta Rhythm Section
When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes.
I was captured by your style;
But I could not catch your eyes.
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me.
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else.
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else.
Thinking how it's going to be
Whenever you get into me.
It's gonna be good, don't you know.
From your head to your toe,
Gonna love you all over,
Over and over,
I am so into you,
Me into you, you into me, me into you.
I am so into you
I can't get to nothing else.
I am so into you
I can't get to nothing else.
Thinking how it's going to be
Whenever you get into me.
C'mon baby, drivin' me crazy,
I'm so into you,
Love all the things you do.

In this cold world no matter where I go
the crowds, they're all the same.
To them I'm just a pebble in the sand,
a face without a name.
Nobody gives a hang for what I say or do
But you, and in the shelter of your arms
I find peace and comfort and care
For I am wanted there.
In this cold world, you struggle to survive
and sometimes, you can fall.
You'd think someone would lend a helpin hand
they'd sooner see you crawl.
But just when life itself seems more than I can bare...
You're there and in the shelter of your arms
I find strength and comfort with care.
For I am wanted there.
Just give me one good reason
to go on living. To keep on trying
For what.?.I ask you for what?
If not for you and all your love, to see me through.
But just when life itself seems more than I can bare
You're there and in the shelter of your arms I find
strength and safety in them, I rise and start again.

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rollin' sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

Come baby, find me, come baby, remind me of where I once begun.
Come baby, show me, show me you know me, tell me you're the one.
I could be learning, you could be yearning to see behind closed doors.
But I will always be emotionally yours.
Come baby, rock me, come baby, lock me into the shadows of your heart.
Come baby, teach me, come baby, reach me, let the music start.
I could be dreaming but I keep believing you're the one I'm livin' for.
And I will always be emotionally yours.
It's like my whole life never happened,
When I see you, it's as if I never had a thought.
I know this dream, it might be crazy,
But it's the only one I've got.
Come baby, shake me, come baby, take me, I would be satisfied.
Come baby, hold me, come baby, help me, my arms are open wide.
I could be unraveling wherever I'm traveling, even to foreign shores.
But I will always be emotionally yours.

Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw
By Jimmy Buffet
I really do appreciate
The fact you're sittin' here
Your voice sounds so wonderful
But yer face don't look too clear
So bar maid bring a pitcher
Another round o' brew
Honey, why don't we get drunk and screw
Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed
It's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snow queen
Honey, I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw
'Pick it Coral Reefers, here we go...'
Why don't we get drunk and screw
I just bought a water bed
It's filled up for me and you
They say you are a snow queen
Honey, I don't think that's true
So, why don't we get drunk and screw
Yeah, now baby I say (Lord!)
Why don't we get drunk and screw

It's late at night and we're all alone
With just the music on the radio
No one's coming, no one's gonna telephone
Just me and you and the lights down low
And we're
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Just you, girl

Babe i'm not the type of girl who you'd find missing you.
But I have gotten involved into something that's impossible to undo.
And for 8 months straight you've had me in a daze.
And it's one of those great feelings that just won't go away!
Baby I think this just might be love.
There is so much connection and so much trust.
baby this has got to be love.
and if it isn't what's possibly gotten into us?
When I'm with you,you take away all of my fears
when i get hurt you get rid of all my tears.
and there's no one out there that can make me feel this way.
you are my own little world where i can go to when i just need to escape.
baby baby please don't ever go away!

The FrayI never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears and
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Let's rearrange I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
You find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between and
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on
And suddenly I become a part of your past I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Everyone knows
She's on your mind
Everone knows I'm in
Over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm over my
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
John RzeznikI am a question to the world Not an answer to be heard Or a moment that's held in your arms
And what do you think you'd ever say
I won't listen anyway
You don't know me
And I'll never be what you want
Me to be
And what
Do you think you'd understand
I'm boy, no, I'm a man You can't take me
And throw me away
And how
Can you learn what's never shown
Yeah, you stand here on your own
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here
[Chorus] And I want a moment to be real
Want to touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here
And you see the things they never see
All you wanted - I could be
Now you know me
And I'm not afraid
And I want to tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man They can't break me
As long as I know who I am
[Chorus]
And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see me
But I'm still here
They can't tell me who to be
'Cause I'm not what they see Yeah, the world is still sleepin' while I keep on dreaming for me
And their words are just whispers and lies that I'll never believe
[Chorus]
And how can you say I'll never change
They're the ones that stay the same
I'm the one now
'Cause I'm still here
I'm the one
'Cause I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here

I'd Rather Do You On the Backseat of My Car
Ugh... is this what dating again is going to be like?
"Kylie" by Akcent**
Kylie give me
Kylie give me
Baby, you're the one that melt my heart
I swear I'm not lying
Maybe tonight I'm gonna try my luck
I can see that you want me
I'm dreaming about you every night
Every night
refrain:
Kylie give me just a chance
Let's go out and dance
We can get into the groove
I can watch you move
Later you can sing to me
Like a shining star
But I rather do you on the backseat of my car
(2x)
Baby, take a minute check me out
I sit in the frontrow
Baby I'm the coolest guy in the crowd
I'm sure you have seen me
I'm dreaming about you every night
every night
refrain
You drive me crazy
You slowly drive me crazy
Think about you baby
Can't get you out of my mind
I should be lucky
I should be so lucky
I should be lucky to sleep with you tonight

Kylie give me

Little Big Town
As I find myself home on a Saturday night, dog-sitting and writing half of my 20-24 pgs for Science & Technology Policy paper due Mon, I am also enjoying the new tunes from Little Big Town.
Their CD, released last month, can be heard here on CMT.com*
It's also a very soothing set of songs to sing along with. Track 4: Bring it on Home, Track 6: A Little More You, Track 13: Stay (acoustic) are my favorites.
Damn Right
I love me some Terri Clark and her new CD has a song that says just how I feel about all these bloggers I've been going on and on about. As she says, "You're damn right I'm gonna miss you"
I'm not gonna lie or act like I'm that tough
There might be a tear in my eye
when I'm watching that airplane liftin up I was never much for tellin you how much you meant
But I need you to know you were heaven sent
We went together like
highways and T-birds
Saturday sinners and Sunday church
and lookin back and crying and laughin
at the life between us too
we went together like memories and long gones
cowboys and sad old songs
after all of the holdin on tight that we went through
you're damn right I'm gonna miss you
I guess there are times
that all of us relearn
that life is a book and the pages
you know they're about to turn
and I don't know where the story ends
where its gonna go now
just as long as this chapter tells the whole world how
We went together like
highways and T-birds
Saturday sinners and Sunday church
and lookin back and crying and laughing
at the life between us too
we went together like memories and long gones
cowboys and sad old songs
after all of the holdin on tight that we went through
you're damn right I'm gonna miss you

I'll see your lyrics and raise you one:
If I had my way, I'd be in your town.
I might not stay, but at least I would have been around,
'cause there's something about what happens when we talk.
Does this make sense? It doesn't matter anyway.
Is it conincidence or was it meant to be?
'cause there's something about what happens when we talk.
Conversation with you was like a drug.
It wasn't your face so much as it was your words,
'cause there's something about what happens when we talk.

Carnival of MusicBuckethead has the Carnival of Music up and he has really outdone himself this time. Be sure to check it out in all of its Halloweeny goodness evil-ness.
(and just try to ignore that my submission has nothing to do with Halloween...)
Dream Big
While I was away having a grand ol time this weekend, trying to forget my troubles, Buckethead (of The Ministry of Minor Perfidy) has been trying to put together this week's Carnival of Music...
After finding what I believe could be friends for life this weekend, I think this little inspirational ditty is a more than appropriate submission from me. Because you never know what you minght find behind just a little hope and a prayer ... or a leap of faith, if you will ... I know I sure didn't see it comin ...
When you cry, be sure to dry your eyes,
'Cause better days are sure to come.
And when you smile, be sure to smile wide,
And don't let them know that they have won.
And when you walk, walk with pride,
And don't show the hurt inside,
Because the pain will soon be gone.
(Chorus)
And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
But when you dream, dream big.
And when you laugh, be sure to laugh out loud,
'Cause it will carry all your cares away.
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself,
And it will help you feel okay.
And when you pray, pray for strength to help to carry on,
But when the troubles come your way.
(Chorus)
And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
when you dream, dream big.
(Dream big.)
(Dream big.)
And when you laugh be sure to laugh out loud,
'Cause it will carry all your cares away.
And when you see, see the beauty
all around and in yourself, and it will help you feel okay.
And when you pray, pray for strength to
help to carry on when the troubles come your way.
And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
when you dream, dream big.
And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
when you dream, dream big.

Funny, I have this same song on my iPod Shuffle, even, not just the big iPod that holds it all. It even hit my top list for a while.
Great meeting you this weekend. I've got presents for you, too.

The Right Brothers
Remember that catchy little tune I told you about? The one that The Right Brothers did at the rally to support military families last weekend... You know, "Bush Was Right!" Well they've put up a 50 second preview of the song, published their lyrics, put the single on pre-sale for October, and will release a $0.99 MP3 version available on their website Oct 4.
Go hear the jingle for yourself ... at the very least you have to giggle at the antagonistic tone ... na na nana na na ... Oh, and I never said it was musical genius, just fun...
If you're too lazy to go join in my fun, at least read the lyrics below the fold...
more...
You Mean, That's Not Supposed to Happen?
SHE SAID I'M GOING OUT WITH MY GIRLFRIENDS
MARGARITAS AT THE HOLIDAY INN
OH HAVE MERCY...MY ONLY THOUGHT
CUZ TEQUILA MAKES HER CLOTHES FALL OFF
I TOLD HER PUT AN EXTRA LAYER ON
I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SHE DRINKS PATRON
HER CLOSETS MISSING HALF THE THINGS SHE BOUGHT
YEAH TEQUILA MAKES HER CLOTHES FALL OFF
Chorus:
SHE'LL START BY KICKING OUT OF HER SHOES
LOSE AN EARRING IN HER DRINK
LEAVE HER JACKET IN THE BATHROOM STALL
DROP A CONTACT DOWN THE SINK
THEM PANTYHOSE AIN'T GONNA LAST TOO LONG
IF THE D J PUTS BON JOVI ON (oh yeah...)
SHE MIGHT COME HOME IN A TABLECLOTH
YEAH TEQUILA MAKES HER CLOTHES FALL OFF
SHE CAN HANDLE ANY CHAMPAGNE BRUNCH
BRIDAL SHOWER WITH BACARDI PUNCH
JELLO SHOOTERS FULL OF SMIRNOFF...
BUT TEQUILA MAKES HER CLOTHES FALL OFF
CHORUS
SHE DON'T MEAN NOTHING
SHE'S JUST HAVING FUN
TOMORROW SHE'LL SAY
OH WHAT HAVE I DONE
HER FRIENDS WILL JOKE ABOUT THE STUFF SHE LOST
YEAH TEQUILA MAKES HER CLOTHES FALL OFF
OH TEQUILA MAKES HER CLOTHES FALL OFF
YEAH TEQUILA MAKES HER CLOTHES FALL OFF
-sung by Joe Nichols
And here I always thought that was what tequila was meant to do...
Guess I was doing it all wrong all those college nights I spent shooting tequila at my favorite bar. But hot damn those were some great Wednesday nights...
I Will Not Be Broken
There have been a lot of rough and dramatic patches over the last year of my life. In fact, I've come to be known as a drama magnet by my friends. Some days it gets to be too much and I just sit in the dark and cry. Some days I forget to cry and just sit there numb. But when it comes right down to it, I will not be broken. If you too are having a tough go of it and need the same reminder, Bonnie Raitt has it for you on her new CD released Tuesday.*
That was then and this is now
Found my way back here somehow.
Knew youÂ’d have to let me go
I told you once, I told you so
take me down, you can hold me but you can't hold what's within
roll me 'round, push me to the limit
maybe I may bend
but I know where I'm not going
I will not be broken
I will not be broken I will not be someone other than who I am
I will fight to make my stand
‘cause what is living if I can’t live free
what is freedom if I canÂ’t be me
take me down, you can hold me but you can't hold what's within
roll me 'round push, me to the limit maybe I may bend
but I know where I'm not going
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I wonÂ’t let you near it
I will let my spirit fly
Fly
High
Oh take me down
take me down, you can hold me but you can't hold what's within
roll me 'round, push me to the limit
maybe I may bend
but we both know where IÂ’m not going
I will not be broken
I will not be broken I will not be broken

I've always been a fan of Sinatra's That's Life. However, many Johnny Cash songs apply also.

Hang in there Sweetie. The last year was about as bad as it gets for me. Things are finally looking up now. Remember, life may treat you like shit but it is you that decides how you feel. I am sure things will get better for you too. In the mean time, just stick it out and remember that you are a good person and donot deserve all the bullshit thrown at you but that bullshit is making you a stronger person. Good luck. A smile and a fatherly hug to you. Have a nice day.

Hanna-McEuen
Two sons of members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band have gotten together and released their first CD. The new duo has taken the moniker Hanna-McEuen, a simple joining of their last names.
They may seem familiar to you already as their song "Something Like a Broken Heart" has had radio play for several months now. But I urge you take a closer listen to the rest of their CD.
I can't quite put my finger on why but it is a CD I can't stop playing. Sure, I skip a song or two here and there but overall it is a very enveloping collection of tunes.
Hop on over to CMT.com and check out the free listen they have of the entire CD in their listening party...but it's only up for a limited time.
My current favs are: "Read Between The Lines," "Prayer For You," "Is It Only Me," and "Ocean."
Oh, btw... the listening party usually only works with IE, sorry Firefoxers...

Oh, I swear this town gets smaller every day
And I'm waiting for my chance, I'm gonna break away I'm so sick and tired of being told what's good for me
People got lots of ideas of who I'm supposed to be
Angel, carry me, oh so far away
May my body never touch the ground
And if I promise you I'll be back someday
Will you set me free, so I can fly away?
Fly away, fly away
