"Mercy will we overcome this ...

oh one by one could we turn it around, maybe carry on just a little bit longer and try to give you what you need."


So, no real secret that I love  Dave Matthews Band, certainly in my top 5 of all time favorites. And yes, as an almost 48 year old woman, somethings never change and I still wear concert t-shirts. Overkill might have been posting a picture in my third shirt. And besides, didn't wear it this week, these two however, I did.



Anyway, thanks to my resident awesome CD maker, and future son in-law, Matt, I have been constantly listening to Dave's new CD, 'Away from the World'. This new song 'Mercy' speaks to me as a human being walking around in this life, constantly trying to figure out how I can step out of my sheltered little corner and give back to this world and hopefully leave things a little bit better then when I arrived. But aside from that, the words also speak to me on a very personal level and that, to me, is the beauty of music. Interpretation and a mind wide open to take from lyrics and melody, whatever you may need, on any given day.

 I never know who finds their way to my blog, how they even found their way to my blog and why they keep coming back. So with that said, I totally get it that this music might not be for everyone, but the message of this music, that, that should resonate with most everyone.




This video is literally all I have in me today. Actually the truth me told, I have been lacking the motivation to blog all week long but seeing the longer I stay away from blogging, well, the longer it is that I stay away. Know what I mean?

Have a  beautiful weekend everyone.

Will you still love me if I tell you DMB is not my favorite band? Some songs, yes, & a couple are even on my running playlist - and this song IS really good but I got a contact high at the one concert I went to & that was enough. My sister feels the same way you do, though, & we're still close....most of the time. :)
Your musically unenlightened friend,
k.

Same here, will you still love me if I say they are not my favorite band either? Doesn't matter, great song! Love you friend!
