“I learned to love the feel of good words.”
- Patrick Rothfuss
Friday means lyrics.
Billy Strings/Gild the Lily: In musical parlance, Billy Strings is whatcha call a Monster.
Staring into the wishing well has got you feeling a particular way
You can't stand to see your own reflection
So toss a penny and close your eyes
And try to think of something to say
And don't waste your wishes on perfection
Caroline Spence/I Can't Complain: Singer/songwriter, Caroline, originally from Charlottesville, VA, quietly goes about crafting good songs.
I've had flat tires and bad ideas
And I've been there when I should have been here
I've been burned in the sunshine, I've been stuck out in the rain
But after all, I can't complain
I've been caught red-handed, I've been caught off guard
I've been caught watching the grass grow greener in my neighbor's yard
And I've got a to-do list the size of Spain
After all, I can't complain
Yeah, ‘cause if I die tomorrow they’ll find me with a roof over my head
There's a chance there was eloquence in the very last words I said
It's all love and it's all pain
So after all, I can't complain
Kevn Kinney/Trail of Seasons: Musically speaking, there aren't many that have had a greater influence on me than Kevn and his band Drivin' n Cryin'.
I was trying to write a love song
It turned out to be the wrong song
She started to remember
As I sang about tomorrow
She was closing up the bookshop
Came walking like a gumshoe
Do you remember me?
I used to go with you
I'm walking to the graveyard
I'm punching in at midnight
I'm waiting for the morning sun
To warm up the cobblestones
It's always nice to see an old friend again
How've you been? You've changed your place
It's always nice to see an old friend again
Staying on the trail of seasons
Anyone else?
