Hello friends!
I don't know how many people agree with me, but I am more than ready to put this winter in the books. The excess of snow and rain, the crazy drivers, biting cold wind and the whole getting dark at 5pm thing...SO ready for them to be over. I normally like a cooldown after the brutal Tennessee summer humidity, but this one took a lot out of me.
It's Just a gross time of year, all gray and dead looking. This winter convinced me that I have that "Seasonal Affective Disorder"...but at times I am also convinced I have Restless Leg Syndrome. Ah, and I digress.
But finally! The promise of spring is right around the corner, the hours of sunshine are increasing and a new season brings a renewed sense of motivation and purpose.
I have been listening to this song by the Avett Brothers a LOT lately. It's just plain good. The harmonies, the words, the meaning...everything.
the weight of lies.
Disappear from you hometown
Go and find the people that you know
Show them all you good parts
Leave town when bad ones start to show
Go and wed a woman
A pretty girl that you’ve never met
Make sure she knows you love her well
But don’t make any other promises
The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
Cause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen there
So when you run make sure you run
To something and not away from
Cause lies don’t need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere
I once heard the worse thing
A man could do is draw a hungry crowd
Tell everyone his name, pride, and confidence
But leaving out his doubt
I’m not sure I bought those words
When I was young I knew most everything
These words have never met so much to anyone
As they now mean to me
The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
Cause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen there
So when you run make sure you run
To something and not away from
Cause lies don’t need an aeroplane to chase you down
