dont ever stop your dreams.
so i'm back in school mode hardcore. no job. just music. we were supposed to play our first show last night as the opening act for a Drive-Thru band called Self Against City. it was cancelled and that sucks. but what can ya do. next show is on the 25th at the Big Top.
so it's hard to get a solid music conversation going nowadays. like the kids at school are cool for talkin jazz and whatnot...but i'm yearnin for something deep in the heart of rock and roll. alex is usually good for it but he works all the time. i guess maybe my interests are just different on alot of things. either way i'm gonna leave you guys something nice. my new favorite song of the moment is called "Stop This Train" and its from the new John Mayer cd. the man amazes me...he is taking blues to modern music and getting it to a mainstream. or as he likes call it in the lil booklet "stealing from eric clapton." either way it's good. take what you want from the song, but this is what i get:
life happens and is gonna keep happening until you're dead. some things are expected, some arent. sometimes you wish you were dead, sometimes things are so good they dont seem real. point is you cant stop living because you've got too much you can do. so just love, as i've always said. and let the ones you love know it...you never know when they'll be gone.
it's nothing new...but in my opinion, it's refreshing to know someone feels like i do. now the lyrics.
Cheers.
"No i'm not color blind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an opened mind i just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train i want to get out and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know i can'y
But honestly will someone stop this train
Don't know how else to say it, don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
Come on stop this train
I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know i can't but honestly won't someone stop this train
So afraid of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So i play the numbers game to find away to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said help me understand
He said turn 68 you'll renegotiate
Don't stop this train
Don't follow it moves the place you're in
I don't think i could ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train
See once in a while when it's good
It'll feel like it should
When you're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing so you cry when you're driving away in the dark.
Singing stop this train i want to get out and go home again
I can't take this speed it's moving in
I know i can't
Cause now i see i'll never stop this train"
