this song. oh, this song. the first time i heard it, i got a little teary-eyed. some of the lyrics hit close to home.too close to home. {source}She's all laid up in bed with a broken heartWhile I'm drinking Jack all alone in my local bar and we don't know howHow we got into this mad situation, only doing things out of frustrationTrying to make it work, but, man, these times are hardShe needs me now but I can't seem to find the timeI got a new job now on the unemployment line and we don't know howHow we got into this mess, is it God's test? Someone help us 'cause we're doing our bestTrying to make things work, but, man, these times are hardBut we're gonna stop by drinking our cheap bottles of wineSit talking up all night, saying things we haven't for a while, a while, yeahWe're … [Read more...]
it’s empty in the valley of {my} heart.
i'm feeling hateful once again. i'm still hurt and so is my other half {perhaps my better half, at times?}. we keep looking for closure, but all we run into is another stumbling block or more surprising news. honestly, folks, you don't know betrayal, lies or deceit until your own neck has been strangled by the hands of a family member {figuratively, not literally}. anyways.this song makes me think of our situation. except, i would probably let that person choke on the noose around his neck. yep. i'm a mean girl like that. because, really, all that we want is to live {our} life as its meant to be.enjoy.{source} … [Read more...]

better together.
the last time adam & i saw jack johnson in concert was back in 2002 {i was a few months pregnant with aidan}. however, in just over a week we will see him in concert again.we are stoked.mellow, meaningful music. i'm very much looking forward to a night out with adam. a night to forget the bad. a night to cherish the good. a night to remind us both that we truly are...better together. There is no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard And no song that I could sing but I can try for your heart And our dreams and they are made out of real things Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia-toned loving Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart Like why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it’s so hard? … [Read more...]
sunshine.
i adore jason mraz. he is a doll baby {i'm pretty certain i would eat him alive}. his music soothes my soul. his lyrics speak to my heart. so, watch, listen or even read.this song is dedicated to the family member i'm praying for. i also dedicate it to any one out there who gets down from time to time {no, i'm not talking about when you bust out with some fresh dance moves, y'all}. i'm even dedicating this song to myself.http://www.hulu.com/embed/rg6TVxGlRXvPirmH6Ebi8w the sunshine song by jason mrazWell sometimes the sun shines on Other people's houses and not mine. Some days the clouds paint the sky all gray And it takes away my summertime. Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you, While I struggle to get mine. If there's a light in everybody, Send out your ray of sunshine. I … [Read more...]
