I love male vocals.

With that being said, let me introduce to you one of my 'different' favorites, or re-introduce you to The Scene Aesthetic. Young, raw, way before the reality sets in and you realize love isn't what you see in the movies.

The Scene Aesthetic - Alvin Maker's Greensong

Fighting to keep this alive
Constantly fighting to keep myself going
Dear friend, I haven't the slightest desire
To help keep you going

Keep to myself all the time
(Kid it's better that way)
Try to avoid all the lines
(But I can't have you stay)
And the things that they say
Fighting to keep this alive
(Kid it's better that way)
Constantly fighting to keep myself going
(But I can't have you stay)

Please don't run from your problems
You can't keep running, there's no place to go

As you escape from your life
This house becomes hollow
And all we can do is just wait
Sit here and wait for this train to arrive
I've got my bags packed and I've said my goodbyes
Constantly giving into these moments
That just bring me down
Just bring me close enough to stay around, to stay around

Keeping to yourself is no way to live your life
You can't fight what's coming
And all that you can do is sit back and realize, we'll be there
Cause you keep waiting for someone to save you
Embrace you and take you away, far away
Take you so far from this place

Running away, so far away
Running away, so far away
I can't stay, I can't stay with you here
I can't stay, I can't stay with you here

As you escape from your life
This house becomes hollow
And all we can do is just wait
Sit here and wait for this train to arrive
I've got my bags packed and I've said my goodbyes
Constantly giving into these moments
That just bring me down
Just bring me close enough to stay around, to stay around

But I won't stay around

Very thoughtful lyrics. I've read them several times and gain something different each time. I feel close to the lyrics in some ways. Can you relate to them?

Hey there--I changed my account since I forgot my password--and wanted to leave you a message--Congrats on your adoption--I am so happy for you--I know you were really looking forward to this day! Also, I am excited for your wedding! (I already said some of this on Facebook but wasn't sure if you check it much) I really like the new look to your page--especially the picture! I love black & white and when people aren't posing with a cheezy smile all the time! =) Hope all is well!

When I first fell in love with this song I thought it was a song about addiction. I imagined one voice as a the guy and one as his will or conscience. It definately means alot to me, thanks for your comment.

Thanks for all the kind words! Things have been great for all of us here, I think we're all finally settled down after the holiday season and what not. I'm the king of the cheezy smile, so this was a nice change! Thanks for stopping by!

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
