Fast Paced World - The Duhks

We've forgotten what is sacred,
We've forgotten what is sacred,
Not love, not culture, not family or nature

Everybody follow me, I will show you the way,
I know all the ins and outs,
Of how this world should be turning
With God as my leader, I'll feed you all kinds of lies,
And you'll believe me,
'Cause even God has lost his name with time

Time after time, his name has been misused,
Manipulation through fear,
To get you to adhere
Empty threats without proof, will only lead to paranoia,
If we don't think for ourselves, well then what do we got?

We've forgotten what is sacred
In this fast-paced world,
We take and keep taking,
Without thinking of what we're giving

Oh, nothing is sacred in this fast-paced world
Not love, not culture, not family or nature

Suburbia land, where everything is made easy
Don't worry, we'll wipe you clean of your identity
Supermarkets and box malls for your convenience
All the Ma and Pop stores, no longer have your allegiance

With cookie cutter houses, cars and jobs
We'll all be the same, we won't have to think anymore
About our neighbors gossiping, about our freaky differences
We won't have to worry, won't have to take any chances

Just Beachy

I didn't post at all in July.  Days like this are the main reason why.

I'd normally post lyrics here, but I don't see the sense in that with this video.  Redundancy is not my style.

 Falling from high places, falling through lost spaces,
Now that we're lonely, now that there's nowhere to go.
Watching from both sides, these clock towers burning up,
I lost my time here, I lost my patience with it all.

The Wolves - Ben Howard

Falling from high places, falling through lost spaces,
Now that we're lonely, now that there's nowhere to go.
Watching from both sides, these clock towers burning up,
I lost my time here, I lost my patience with it all.

We lost faith, in the arms of love.

Where you been hiding lately, where you been hiding from the news?
Because we've been fighting lately, we've been fighting with the wolves.
With the wolves.
Red tongues and hands.

Falling from high places, falling through lost spaces,
Now that we're lonely, now that there's nowhere to go.
Watching from both sides, these towers been tumbling down,
I lost my mind here, I lost my patience with the lord.

We lost faith, oh in the arms of love

Where you been hiding lately, where you been hiding from the news?
Because we've been fighting lately, we've been fighting with the wolves.
With the wolves.
Red tongues and hands.

We lost faith, in the arms of love.

Fascinating Conversation

"Nate, did you enjoy our visit to the library this afternoon?"

"Why, yes I did Syda.  I'm most excited about the Summer Reading program.  Did you have a pleasant time as well?"

"Of course, I played with the colored frogs and the trains and the blocks and threw puzzle pieces on the floor."

"Marvelous!"

"Yes, quite."

"Shall we take a nap now so Mother is awake all night and groggy tomorrow?"

"Splendid idea! Let us commence napping."
(My kids are British when participating in any sort of plotting.)

This is clearly the conversation that happened during the 2 minute break I took this evening.  I kid you not, I was in the bathroom for maybe 45 seconds and then went to get a drink of water and came back to this. They look like they were deep in conversation don't they?  Evidently someone just came along and unplugged them and they shut down where they were.

Part of me is slightly annoyed, because they are now napping at 5pm which means they will wake by 8pm ready to take on the world, just as I'm ready to go to bed.  BUT cuteness like this overrides the annoyance factor.  Every time.

I do need to figure out how to put this pic on my phone though so I can get through work tomorrow.  It will likely be a long day, but it's worth it, for these sweet folks. (and the big one who is not napping)

Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up say goodnight . . . say goodnight

This Must Be The Place (Native Melody) - Talking Heads

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb - born with a weak heart
(So I) guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong . . nothing

Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up say goodnight . . . say goodnight

Home - is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from the other
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time Before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be . . . where I'll be

Hi yo We drift in and out
Hi yo sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head
Ah ooh





*I will start posting regularly again soon - I hope!  There are some changes happening at home, positive ones, but all changes cause some adjustment.  I'm hoping to get back to posting more often once we figure out what our "New Normal" is.  There are some great pics from the past few weeks that I need to get up here, if for no other purpose than to revisit them years from now and smile.
