No Sleep,Tonight

Pain is through the roof tonight, folks. Can not get to sleep. Say a Lillian prayer with me, if you're still up, will ya. I need it.

It's been a while since I spotlighted any music. To be honest, I just don't come across much that moves or inspires me. That is, until recently.

This guy has been around for a while and is a gifted singer/songwriter but in his latest album, his ability to paint stories, images, and faces...to pull you in to his songs and have you wanting and needing to know more about the people in them has risen to a new level.

This is just one song from his album 'Southeastern', which I strongly recommend to anyone who likes to get lost in the story as well as the music.

The Best Missed Connection Ever?

It’s almost impossible to believe this Missed Connection was posted on Craigslist. Odder was that I found it re-posted on i09, a sci-fi blog. It is ‘beautifully written’. Something I would love to hear turned into a song…or even better…something I would actually pay to see if it were turned into a movie.

I saw you on the Manhattan-bound Brooklyn Q train.
I was wearing a blue-striped t-shirt and a pair of maroon pants. You were wearing a vintage red skirt and a smart white blouse. We both wore glasses. I guess we still do.
You got on at DeKalb and sat across from me and we made eye contact, briefly. I fell in love with you a little bit, in that stupid way where you completely make up a fictional version of the person you're looking at and fall in love with that person. But still I think there was something there.
