I’m listening to this song. Every time I hear it, it makes me happy.

For all those who stood up and were counted
For all those for whom money was no motive
For all those for whom music was a message
I want to thank you

For making me
A little more sure
A little more wise
And courageous

You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me that music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door

I won’t stop here
I won’t be still until the sun sets
On us all..

Under the sheets with my radio
Turn down low
So nobody know
It’s the late night show
Hopin’ to hear ‘Hey Joe’
Jimi was my hero
Head blown by Todd R. A wizard a true star
From Dali Lama to Tanamo
Curtis Mayfield
to Kurtis Blow
Singing into my pillow
And praying I don’t dose
Until my 9 Volt battery goes..

You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me that music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door

I won’t stop here
I won’t be still until the sun sets
On us all..

You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me that music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door

I won’t stop here
I won’t be still until the sun sets
On us all..

You told me that music matters..
You told me that music matters..
You told me that music matters..
You told me that music matters.

What song makes your day better? I’m having a great day, actually. Working hard on my writing. Looking forward to picking up Amanda tonight. I really need to vacuum, but that’s going to wait. D is at work, so I can listening to my cheesiest music without being tormented ( hehehe)…but he likes this song too. I can see myself singing this loudly in the car. I really do like singing, I just wish I sounded less like a dying cat and more like the woman who sings this… alas. My gift was not a good voice.

PS — if you can - try to find the video for their song “Bombs” — I really like it and it kind of gets me choked up a bit. the imagery is pretty damn cool
