Today's installment is dedicated to my boy, Lil Money. Unlike when he's with his mom, The Wife, when he's riding with me we're usually jamming. His mom, is usually catching up on her talk show so, he's forced to listen to that. And when I say jam, I guess I'm kinda using it lightly, it's not like we're blasting the speakers out or anything, plus I've got a bit of a system for the music I play and introduce to him. You know, nothing hard or full of cussing just some "ridin' music".
Morning Yearning: The strumming guitar and softness of Ben Harpers' voice is a perfect song for the rides when Lil Money is falling asleep. I enjoy this song and I'm sure he appreciates it delicateness.
Anything Like Me: I actually just recently heard this song, from the very beginning it had me. I don't know anything about fatherhood, but I do remember being a little boy and the "heck" of a time I sometimes gave my mother. I wasn't a bad kid, just a boy and I enjoyed everyday of it. With the help of Lil Money and letting him be a boy I will learn to be a father.
Hanuman: Does that boy like the guitar? Yes he does, he could be fussing with a floor full of toys in front of him, but as soon as I grab that Ovation his eyes light up as he begins to bounce and smile. When I hear this song not only do I wish I could play this well but it makes me think of him every time. Maybe some day he'll play for me.
Rock Around the Clock: Whew, this dad thing can be exhausting. Now I'm only 8 months into it but I am also a fool. A fool who thinks he's got it down. Why do I think this when I know it's never the same? No nap today, sleep all night, nap all day, awake several times a night... There's no real way to know what "The King" is gonna be doing or how he is going to be feeling. but as his servants we've got to make him happy. No matter what. And one night as I woke up with him, this song was playing, and it fit perfectly.
I wish I could have seen the race... Live. Instead it is now 8:30 (C) and I just saw it...
I wish I wasn't so pissed that the outcome was ruined for me hours ago.
I wish (most of all) that Zenyatta could've won the race.
She had an amazing run and came so close to perfection, if only she would have gotten her jump a bit earlier, but champions aren't made of if's. And Zenyatta is a champion.
The Wife EP, obviosuly for my wife. Of all the people that are close to me, you and I rarely dig the same sound, but for the songs that we do share, they mean a lot. Below are a collection of songs that are/were relevant to specific times in our lives.
Beautiful: There wasn’t anywhere that we wouldn’t go to see Flickerstick. Houston, Dallas and of course Austin, we were there. And along the way we added to their following and took several friends to their shows. Shit, remember that one show on 6th street when I bought Rex a beer, he chugged it then proceeded to slide his empty bottle along the strings of his guitar as he jammed. Good times.
P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing): This wasn’t our wedding song but this was the song that started the party after we danced to our song. This song jams my white socks off and it set the tone for the rest of the party that night. A night I will never forget.
Knocked Up: There are a few songs I thought of when deciding on a track to represent the time in our life when we knew we were going to have our first child, but this song always seemed to stand out. I don’t care what nobody says / No, I’m gonna be her lover / Always mad and usually drunk / But I lover her like no other.
Mixtape: When I first heard this song I thought of you... Weird though, cause I don't think I have ever made a mixtape for you. Does anyone really make mixtapes anymore though? Probably not, but I've got a catalog of songs mixed in my dome with you in mind. Enjoy.
