Fanmix :: (Dan Haren) "satisfied man"
for caruso who requested "Dan Haren (+ Jessica and kids, /Jessica, /Chad Qualls, /Brandon Webb, /Barry Zito, etc.) I'm not picky. ;P" I smashed them all together... Sort of? :) Sorry for the random.
Lee Dewyze :: That’s Life
Dan to the world of baseball, it’s the mixture of one game making him the ace and the next making him a bum. (Which, by the way, must be a pretty shitty way to exist in a job.)
That's life, that's what all the people say.
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.
Owl City :: Vanilla Sky
Dan to Jessica during the season. I can’t imagine being a wife of a sports player and not having your heart break at least a little while they’re gone.
'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here
Cat Stevens :: Father and Son
From the tenth inning about him, I fell in love with his son. SO FREAKING CUTE. I can just picture him humming this to him. I don’t even know. Plus the lyrics evoke a concept of what it’s like to have no control over his life during the baseball season but knowing that when it comes to what matters he knows.
All the times that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard
But it's harder to ignore it
If they were right, I'd agree
But it's them they know, not me
Now there's a way, and I know
That I have to go away
I know I have to go
Paul Simon :: Father and Daughter (I know, I know, but REALLY.)
His daughter is still too new but this is just… perfectly him and her. Even if he might be a boy and not say it.
I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you
Copeland :: What Do I Know
He and … well. Pairing of your select. It’s definitely a song that makes me think of him having a relationship with someone and then having them traded and he lost it. Cause if you only see each other 9 games a year? Things will kind of fall apart.
If you feel restless where you are, it may be easier to stay.
There are a million other fools to make your bed.
And they'll be closing all the shades to keep you right there in that grave.
And I'll be knocking 'cause you never left my head.
Stephen Kellogg :: Satisfied Man
This is seriously my Haren song. I don’t know why, or when it started but it just is him.
And if heaven and family and children
Are what's left of me when I die
Then I hope for your sake that you're better than me at this learning to say goodbye
Yeah if heaven and family and children
Are what's left of the race that I ran
Then I'll quietly slip to the slumbering peace of the
sleep of a satisfied man
