#Great Lake swimmers

Sometimes I just stare at this picture. It's one of my favorite things I've ever gotten myself.

And with your soft fingers between my claws / Like purity against resolve

lyrics that to me are beautifully human

"And it's a long way down, you're hoping for a heart attack. Running around, investing in this and that. And your beautiful wife, keeps your life on a shelf for you. Safe in the bedroom, where there is no dust or mildew. And it's hard to believe you were once a beautiful dancer."

-Uncle Alvarez, Liz Phair

"You should never have to worry, drink whenever you are thirsty. Stay up late and get up early, sleep when you die."

-The Latenight, Bob Hillman

"Woe to thee with fearful eyes, the lighthouse is burning up. And down goes the ship, in which they wasted their whole lives."

-Empress, The Arcadian Wild

"All of the good that won't come out of me. And all the stupid lies I hide behind. It's such a big mistake, lying here in your warm embrace."

-The Good That Won't Come Out, Rilo Kiley

"Waits at the window. Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door. Who is it for?"

"Eleanor Rigby, died in the church and was buried along with her name. Nobody came. Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave. No one was saved."

-Eleanor Rigby, The Beatles

"You see by the lines on my hands, I've been carrying a heavy load. You follow them across my hands, where they run like roads.

Won't you come and read the future, turn it on? Won't you tell me how, I will not feel so lonely."

-Palmistry, Great Lake Swimmers

This blog post could go on forever, but I won't make it. Maybe I'll make a second of these at some point.

All of these lyrics resonate with me in one way or another, and they all feel truly human and real.

I recommend all of these songs and all of these artists.

New Year Songs: Part One

Now that Christmas is but a distant memory it is time for me to get back to what passes in my world as ‘normal.’ Around this time of year I have got into the habit of playing some songs which relate to the upcoming New Year, and I now have collection of regulars for this which stretch to two episodes. It feels right to play the first set today and then complete the show on New Year’s Day, so…

Out sick today. Here's a song from a record I've been listening to a lot recently.
