Reminiscing ...

Change of pace.  No deep thoughts or soul searching tonight.  Reminiscing with an old album tonight ... Yes, I should be sleeping, I know.  Did some Admin stuff for my group.  Wrote for awhile and finally caught the tale-end of a movie that I keep missing.  Stinks not to know how a movie ends, right?  Anyhow, I'm too tired to read ... so I thought I'd try getting lost in music to see if that winds me down for sleep.  Don't feel like taking sleeping pills tonight ....

Here's the album I'm getting in lost in:  Toad the Wet Sprocket, album "Fear".  Great group! I love their lyrical ballads.  This was a favorite of mine in my college days.  Only one song I don't like on the whole album.  Bet you can guess which one?  Maybe, if I would let myself listen to it objectively, I might see this song in a different light?  Nope ... don't think I can be objective in this case ...

Well, here is one of my favorites songs off of this album, "Something to Say" ...


Love this song.  Says to me: you can talk ... we can talk, dancing in circles all night, but when you're ready to cut the 'crap' and show me the real you:  then we've finally got something to say.

Well enjoy ... Nite, and hopefully some sweet dreams will follow.  But I guess, if you never had any bad dreams how would you have a reference to be able to appreciate the good dreams when, and if, they come your way? ... Just wish I wasn't still so afraid of the power of my bad dreams to hurt me ...

Song: "Pray your gods", "All I Want", "Walk on the Ocean"

i think it is always good to listen to music that speaks to you - i know and enjoy many of the groups you mention (and many, many more). It helps, always
