My latest earworm: Learn to Be Still by the Eagles

Yes, the good ol' classic daddy-song which I've probably heard a million times before. But that's what make it so good. (:

Oh, you know, I love reading cd booklets. I always hope that there's lyrics in them. Or even better, the band/singer commenting on how the song was written or something about the song. So I really appreciated the Eagles' best of album. The booklet was like an interview and them commenting on what inspired the song and all. Really nice touch. And I just watched 2 webisodes of James Morrison. Pretty nice cuz he kinda explains how he came up with the song. Sharon doesn't like him but I love his voice and of course, his Hummingbird! (Boy, if you don't know what I'm referring to, it actually sounds wrong!)

Anyway, I finally got Woody out today in an attempt to strum put he's still out of tune and my skills still suck so I gave up and I used my best instrument, my voice! Laaaaaaa~ But seriously, I guess your voice is the most convenient instrument isn't it? You can just sing any time you want to and there's no need to "lug" it around!

Right. Meeting Sharon tmr for 21. And I'm hoping to buy The Kooks' cds. Thinking bout Jakob Dylan too. If you're wondering why his surname sounds so familiar, he's Bob Dylan's son. He's solo album's very acoustic, which is the kinda sound I'm into nowadays. Don't get me wrong, I haven't given up my Queen and ACDC, I'm just a bit more subtle these days.

And speaking about going solo, it's sad to hear that Marty Casey hs left the Lovehammers to join this othe band called the LA Guns. I don't know bout this new move but I do sincerely hope they sound good. But Lovehammers or not, I'm still gonna write to Marty at the end of the year to beg him to come and perform here. Plus I saw this youtube vid with the Lovehammers and Matt Hoffer. Matt's the guy who had too early an exit from Rockstar Supernova.

Right on, it's getting late and I need very badly to catch up on sleep. So I'll leave you with this one.


It's just another day in paradise
As you stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head
You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will
Learn to be still

We are like sheep without a shepherd
We don't know how to be alone
So we wander 'round this desert
And wind up following the wrong gods home
But the flock cries out for another
And they keep answering that bell
And one more starry-eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell
Learn to be still
Learn to be still

Now the flowers in your garden
They don't smell so sweet
Maybe you've forgotten
The heaven lying at your feet

There are so many contridictions
In all these messages we send
(We keep asking)
How do I get out of here
Where do I fit in?
Though the world is torn and shaken
Even if your heart is breakin'
It's waiting for you to awaken
And someday you will
Learn to be still
Learn to be still

You just keep on runnin'
Keep on runnin'
