BabyTea woke up with gas, thrashed around awhile, said “gripe a baby” which I still don’t understand, then made a truly epic fart, said “awesome toot toot,” then “coming out a weenie,” then started wailing. Very upset his dragon pants were dampened.
#amy macdonald#an extended potty sit#and some bunny pants#and he was back to sleep in no time#god parenting is hilarious#I am so glad that I taught him to say toot toot#that and tootsie have given me such joy

"This is the life" and "Bring me to life"
"Life's what you make it" is too old for the #FearOfMu21c project, where we're crowdsourcing the greatest singles of the 21st century. Everything already Talk Talked about is in an index post.
This is the life - Amy MacDonald
"I saw Pete Doherty's first gig in Glasgow after he left Libertines. It was a great night - he did a little acoustic thing at the aftershow party too, and we got into that. Then me and my pals went back to someone's house and just sat, passing the guitar round, singing songs. It was a brilliant night. The next morning I wrote 'This Is The Life' about it, cause I realized, this is the life."
Title track to the 2007 debut album, Amy MacDonald arrived as though she'd been around forever. Girl, guitar, and memories of going clubbing till the wee small hours and the fear of missing out. Number 1 in Austria, Belgium, Czechia, and Netherlands; number 28 on blighty, because .uk record buyers preferred the album. Amy's continued to write, and record, and tour.

Bring me to life - Evanescence
A goth-metal band with Christian roots, the public view was mostly of singer Amy Lee. And of her physical attributes, not her vocal abilities: on this single, Amy belts out the lyric, shifting from soprano to alto in a single phrase. There's a rap break in the middle, though a mix was released without the rap. And there's a concept video, featuring Amy in her nightie.
All of this meant the single would get a reception. The reason it stayed four weeks at number one? It's a bit different, and it's a massive lot of good. There's a tune, there's something in the lyric, it's danceable, it's not the chugging dance beat of every other record of this moment. This song's success wasn't divine intervention. And thereby hangs a tale...
Evanescence got their start on the Christian Music scene. They were big beasts, playing songs of faith to the faithful. And then: bang! they slammed that door shut. And it's all the fault of the bigots in the Christian music scene.
You might think the British indie scene is harsh, that the NME would build up its heroes then knock them down, then kick them. Christian Music is like that, but harsher, because the critics pretend to know what The God Organisation is thinking. In reality, the critics fall into the trap of idolatory: they expect human beings to be infallible and perfect. Worse, they'll call flaws in other people before accepting the mote in their own eye.
The Christian Music scene is narrow and often bigoted. It's a place where divorce ends careers, where anything that might stop white women from producing white babies is terrible. It's a place where the haters revel in their hatred, where the performers are not permitted to sin. It's cloying and confining. Frankly, Evanescence were best out of it.
None of this changed the parent album: Fallen explored faith and its absence. However much the band denied it, this was a religious album, drawing from Amy Lee and Ben Moody's upbringing. The band turned their back on Christan Music, but didn't repudiate their upbringing. The lyrics draw from Christian imagery, and a particular view of the world. Questions about the afterlife, a search for salvation, fretting that everything is meaningless. They may not be a Christian Music band, but their music is Christian.
Recently released: the 2002 demo version, which is similar to - but not the same as - the version we all heard the following summer.

Release: December 10, 2007
Lyrics:
Oh, the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people, they were dancing
To the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls with curls in their hair
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs get louder each one better than before
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til 4
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Good Morning ☕️ Enjoy y'all a great and blessed Tuesday
Bad things come suddenly, with no warning. But we forget that sometimes that's how the good things come too. ~ Meredith Grey in "Grey's Anatomy" 👍💫💯 But let's not forget that in the midst of the chaos of life… magic can emerge in an instant.
