Your Musical Thought of the Day, 1/25

Look at the talkbox in mute
frustration
At the station
There hides the cowboy
His campfire flickering
on the landscape

That nothing grows on
But time still goes on
And through each life of misery
Everybody's got a hold on hope
It's the last thing that's holding me

---Guided By Voices, "Hold on Hope"

Your (not really) Musical Thought of the Day, 1/20

In today's sharp sparkle, this winter air, anything can be made, any sentence begun.

On the brink, on the brim, on the cusp -- praise song for walking forward in that light.

---Elizabeth Alexander, Praise Song for the Day

Your Musical Thought of the Day, 1/16

Now were back at the homestead
Where the air makes you choke
And people dont know you
And trust is a joke
We dont even have pictures
Just memories to hold
That grow sweeter each season
As we slowly grow old

Your Musical Thought of the Day, 1/14

When you look in the mirror, wish you were somebody else
Just a perfect reflection, you and no one else
Minutes run into hours, hours run into days
You're still waiting for someone who never ever came

---Guster, "Fa Fa"

Your Musical Thought of the Day 1/12

As the rhythm designed to bounce
What counts is that the rhymes
Designed to fill your mind
Now that you've realized the prides arrived
We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
from the heart
It's a start, a work of art

--- Public Enemy, "Fight The Power"
