Bright Eyes Day

If you have not bought the new Bright Eyes, run right out and buy or order it immediately. Both cds are amazing...if you have never heard of Bright Eyes, go out and buy everything he has, it is worth your while. Make sure you listen to the lyrics, that to me is the best part of his music. The two that he just released are I'm very awake, its morning and digital ash in a digital urn. My favorite song off of both cds is num 6 (This is the First Day of my Life) on I'm very awake.

"This is the first day of my life, I swear I was born right in the door way, I went out in the rain
Suddenly everything changed their spread, Blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw, I think I was blind before I met you
I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been, But I know where I want to go
So I thought I'd let you know, These things take forever, I especially am slow
But I realized how I need you, And I wondered if I could come home
I remember the time we drove all night, Just to meet me in the morning
Yeah I thought it was strange, You said everything changed, You felt as if you just woke up
And you said, "This is the first day of my life." I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you, And I'd probably be happy, So if you want to be with me, With these things there's no telling, we'll just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a pay check, Than waiting to win the lottery, Besides, maybe this time it's different I mean, I really think you like me"

I just feel like this songs speaks to me....this is what i am waiting for in a relationship....something that is just simple, it might work or it might not but we make each other happy. A relationship that you can just be yourself. : )

On the Digital Urn...I really like num 3 (arc of time), it just makes me happy. It has a nice groove. Both Cds have some really good anti-war songs, I like those too.

A friend also told me about a Lou Barlow cd that is coming out today....I haven't heard the cd yet, but the songs on his website are really good.
