Mood Music

Though I often sneer at people who can only seem to express themselves through song lyrics, I sympathize with finding a song that so perfectly expresses my mood that any explanation I can give myself seems merely a paraphrase.

At the moment, it's Citizen Cope's "Sideways."



you know it ain't easy
for these thoughts here to leave me
there's no words to describe it
in French or in English
well, diamonds they fade
and flowers they bloom
and I'm telling you
these feelings won't go away
they've been knockin' me sideways
they've been knockin' me out lately
whenever you come around me
these feelings won't go away
they've been knockin' me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
time will take them away
but these feelings won't go away

Sometimes song lyrics are the only thing that can do it, though.

I found your blog because you have some lyrics to Jonatha Brooke on it, and she's one of my favorite singers.

I guess you're moving to Ohio from Chicago. Best of luck with that. I'm in Cincinnati, but love Chicago. Go figure!
