I can’t get enough of this…
Ok, so it’s been a while since I’ve posted, and this post is entirely fluff… or is it? How does someone who’s crammed so much music into their brain finally decide thay have one, just one, ultimate favorite song that they like better than any other? A song they connect with the most, one that moves them and they can listen to it repeatedly, not quite the way a teenager would, but the way an afficionado would be unable to get enough of that perfect wine?
Damn them Babyland boys are good. You must immediately go and BUY their album, "The Finger". I can’t speak highly enough of it, but if you know Babyland, that should come as no surprise.
Well, perhaps I’m a teeny bopper at heart. Maybe my mid-life crisis is early. I dunno. I just can’t hear the song "Gehry" enough.
GEHRY:
We build from experience
We go on
Because we know there’s nothing more
than wanting
a conquest
Past the bitterness
To hold on
And to know there’s something worth the
waiting
This is a part of me I understand
But I know I can’t control
The wonder of it all
I still need the feeling
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
I’m living on to be part of something new
Straight lines and stereotypes are gone
As nature continues to crawl
Curved lines and the big city skies
The bright lights and the hope in your eyes
it’s in your eyes…
We grow from experience
We go on
Because we know
There’s nothing worse than quitting
To bow down
To the negatives
We hold strong
Because we know
There’s something worth the waiting
This is a part of me I understand
But I know I can’t control
The wonder and surprise
Is building, in buildings
Don’t tell me I’m wrong
I’m living on to be part of something new
Straight lines and the stereotypes are gone
As nature continues to crawl
Curved lines and the big city sky
The bright lights and the hope in your eyes
It’s in your eyes…
We live for the experience
We go on
‘Cause we know
There’s something to this wanting
The promise in your eyes
There
In your eyes
I’ve got the simplest plan
I do what I can
Set it aside
‘Cause I know what I am
And I apologize
If you can’t comprehend
You know the easiest way
To get through each day
Is adding on in the smallest of ways
I can’t wait to see
What tomorrow will bring
In your eyes…

P.S. Whoah. In an ironic twist, my friend Darryl just sent me this while I was posting this… simultaneity is neat.
"When your determination changes, everything else will begin to move in
the direction you desire. The moment you resolve to be victorious,
every nerve and fiber in your being will immediately orient itself
toward your success. On the other hand, if you think "This is never
going to work out," then at that instant every cell in your being will
be deflated and give up the fight, and then everything really will move
in the direction of failure."
-President Ikeda, SGI
