I'm Drowning Slowly...

oh my gosh!!! i've been skipping my blogging duty's too much this month of april. i'm so sorry about that. i want to make it up to you all, but it seems i can't. i'm going to make a promise though, and keep on blogging as much as i can. i don't want to skip out on all the good stuff that's out there for you all to see and hear.

here is something that takes me back to my usual favorite decade of music, which was the 90's. here is Ben Folds Five.



a three piece band, led by the punk rockin' dude known as Ben Folds, ben folds five were a simple group that made great alternative pop music that really caught on with the indie/college crowds of the 90's. on their breakthrough album, the had a hit with the tragically sad song, "brick" and thus, the band was sealed into the music files of legend. (read the lyrics and figure out the meaning if you are brave enough...) the band called it quits in 2000, but reunited for a one off show in 2008. ben folds is currently going solo, with over six albums under his belt.

ben folds five really do take me back to the more simpler days of music where artists seemed more sincere and not as recycled as they do today. right here you will find that breakthrough album, which is my personal favorite and most others. it's titled, Whatever and Ever Amen. if you never got the chance to listen to them before, now is your time. enjoy!!!

6am day after christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark
The smell of cold
Car seat is freezing
The world is sleeping
I am numb

Up the stairs to her apartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
They're not home to find us out
And we drive
Now that I have found someone
I'm feeling more alone
Than I ever have before

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her flowers
And sell some gifts that I got
Can't you see
It's not me you're dying for
Now she's feeling more alone
Than she ever has before

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me, "son, it's time to tell the truth"

She broke down, and I broke down
Cause I was tired of lying

Driving back to her apartment
For the moment we're alone
Yeah she's alone
I'm alone
Now I know it

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
