The blues is still the best music ive ever heard When I'm searching for something to listen to late at night this is where i always seem to gravitete to. Long live robert johnson
Fello blues guy here too, God bless you brother, an hopefully robert johnson is cool, he's both me an my dad's favorite, though you can't really pick one.
Fitting! Added to my "Sobriety Songs" list ! "Again" is the Key word !! Long term Sobriety has taught me the Importance of Thinking for MYSELF! :) We Have Control of OUR thoughts & Actions!.... "Peace Takes Practice" Rick
I missed the mountain goats in Denver,so I drove from Kansas City,to Lawrence, saw him at The Grandada. His Michael Jackson impression is uncanny but I think he did it as a reason to moonwalk across the stage.
I am glad I gave this song a chance, I can't say I had liked any BPB that I had heard before, he seemed a little weird to me and too avante garde for his own good, but this song is really good
3 years of toxicity. ended up friends again. told me she loved me, flirted etc. when we hung out again at last, after doing all of the relationship shit for hours straight, after messages from her like 'we're forever intertwined/ ill never find somebody like you again' she admitted that she never loved me she 'thought she did but only found out what love really was with her next boyfriend'. if you knew how our relationship was, the love/hate insanity all from her -- all of the sweetest things ever said and sweetest gazes ever caught; id continued to hope it was that more than the other side. after doing all the relationship shit again, told me she never loved me. damn. the worst part was i knew it was truer than any truth when she said it. only msgd me after she broke up with an ex. i think as a guy you never really truly stop loving your first love. so sad very few of us get it right first time around. she is flawed but she is perfect, and she will never love me. she turned me into an alcoholic bc she was, now i still live with it. alcoholism and every bit of all the rest. i have nothing and no one and want nothing but her. once i wanted her it was only her and it never stopped. life is hard but sometimes you just have to live w shit and find a way to carry on anyway. i want to be a good example to somebody some day. i used to think i got to relate to movies like blue jay, sad songs like no children by the mountain goats. turns out i didnt.
The best part is that is having to go through the heartache multiple times in-till you get it as close to right as posable ..you find the one that wants you and you quit chasing the one who doesn’t
LYRICS: I am drinking again I'm on my 7th cold glass of gin Life is a tribute to you, and so is dying And drinking in this way To die is what I'm trying I also try to keep my love In case an angel loves me And lifts me up with angel hoofs To someplace high above me I am drinking again I'm on my 9th warm glass of gin People argue with me But I have never been stronger Nor held so strong a feeling Inside of me longer With no one at all knowing Oh, but I know Just what I need to live this life And all of us here Raise our eyes and our spirits Our hands and our voices That your ears may hear it I am drinking again And I toast you You never will know What it is that I do
I Am Drinking Again I am drinking again, oh I'm on my seventh cold glass of gin, oh Life is a tribute to you And so is dying And drinking in this way To die is what I'm trying I also try to keep my looks In case an angel loves me And lifts me up with angel hooks To someplace high above (me) I am drinking again, oh I'm on my ninth cold glass of gin, oh And people argue with me But I have never been stronger Nor held so strong a feeling Inside of me longer With no one at all knowing O but I know Just what I need to live this life Oh... And all of us here Raise our eyes and our spirits Our hands and our voices That your ears may hear it I am drinking again and I toast you Who will never know what it is that I do
Yes Thanks To reading that, so do I Now :) The beauty of Prose & Lyrics is they are Open to the Interpretation of the reader or Listener!! "Tears" Not a BAD thing for me, I use songs like these for reminders of my past to Maintain Long term sobriety ,rather than a drinking song:) I :) at the Irish link too :) "Peace Takes Practice" Rick
Drinking again....never stopped. Good for you for trying to get cleaned up...or certainly singing about it. Beautiful song...I think the tempo drags a hair...change the tempo just slightly. Have the guitars push the beat and have the drums drag....vocals can wander. The dissonance of the vocals should be changed to a chorus of victory, not a dirge of failure. So much for coaching someone that wrote something from the heart.
Maybe he wouldn't have suffered for his art so much if his parents had treated him better? Should have let him be a princess like the other little girls.
