Since only three people read this blog, I figured I'd post some songs (which will disappear within 7 days) that I've been listening to lately. If someone decides to bust me, I'll pay for every file downloaded. Hell, I'll buy everyone the album if I have to. So you can suck it authorities.
For some reason, I've been feeling maudlin about Gert these days. I think the impending kindergarten hurdle that's waiting at the end of summer is getting to me. So, I sit here and think about her. I feel joy and sadness mixed together. She's growing. Which is great! But, with each passing day the little girl she was is disappearing. I'll miss that little girl as I get to know the growing girl.
See? Told you. Total cornball. But the songs are good.
Eels - Theme For A Pretty Girl That Makes You Believe God Exists
Paul Simon - Father and Daughter
Ben Folds - Gracie
Wilco - My Darling
Neil Young - Here For You
The Band - All La Glory
Loudon Wainwright III - Daughter
Stew - The Sun I Always Wanted
Weirdly, I always associate that last song with my friend Jeff and his daughter, who missed the first of May by a slim margin. I'm sure he'll let me borrow it for my reverie.
Actually, both daughters missed the first of May by a matter of mere hours. Blame can be assigned, respectively, to the culinary geniuses behind White Castle's Deep Sea with Cheese and Fate, which, in Harper's case, decided it made sense to bring her out on the birthday of the literary icon after whom she was named.
ReplyDeletePerversely, Stew has refused my request for remixes that reflect this reality. Broadway has obviously gotten to him.
Yeah, but one daughter came out at roughly the same time as the album.
