Folk
Folk music includes traditional folk music and the genre that evolved from it during the 20th-century folk revival. Some types of folk music may be called world music.
we just don’t run this place
When I took a shower, I heard two lines in two different songs that I had never heard before. That will be the last line in each of the Ani songs that I post. The Adele song separated them. All just as insightful.
The last lines seemed to hit so hard tonight.
This song has some of my favorite lines in it, one being at the 2 minute mark. Music gets me though me day.
I just empty my pockets and wait
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
You know that moment when you think, “Damn, I am fuckin gay….” I just had one of those.
I don’t have to pretend, she doesn’t expect it from me
I’m tough enough to say – music makes me cry, often.
they think I make a big deal about nothing
What if I say I will never surrender?
I socially engineered situations today in the name of sanity.. When my friend got back with my pizza.. we were both like.. we should have thought that through.. I have a unique favorite pizza and we were both sure that she saw right through us.. I know that she’s smarter than that and can see me coming from a million miles away.
As long as she knows it was nothing but romantic. Damn the things I get myself into.
I just want to cry..
and the results were even what I wanted.. just to know she was safe. I’m bad about that.
So perhaps I should leave here
The song must have started just as I got into the car to go to work, because it played nearly the whole way to work. I had found another song that I had heard a million times. but I had never listened.. Maybe because if had never meant a thing to me. There were a few lines that really stood out to me.. and I was convinced, once again, about the radio conspiracy.
At the time, I didn’t think there was a better song to explain how I felt. Then I had to come home on lunch and listen to one of my classic favorites. I stumbled across this lovely live version of “As Is” by Ani and the slight alterations made me smile, so here it is. At least she admits that she’s an asshole. Who am I to judge?
