Hold Out ~ Jackson Browne

Good song, Jane - great concert, too! I remember when he sang this song (he was married to Lynn Sweeney at the time - who eventually committed suicide), and he broke into tears while he was singing it.

"I guess you wouldn't know it unless I told you - but, I love you. Just look at yourself - what else would I do?"

Travis Tritt does a song that always makes me happy when I hear it:

It's A Great Day To Be Alive

I got rice cooking in the microwave

Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave

And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say

Hey I'm doing alright

Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup

Feelin pretty good and that's the truth

It's neither drink nor drug induced

No I'm just doin alright

And it's a great day to be alive

I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes

There's some hard times in the neigborhood

But why can't every day be just this good?

It's been fifteen years since I left home

Said good luck to every seed I'd sown

Give it my best and then I left it alone

Oh...I hope their doin alright

Now I look in the mirror and what do I see?

A lone wolf there starin back at me

Long in the tooth but harmless as can be

Lord I guess he's doin alright

And it's a great day to be alive

I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes

There's some hard times in the neigborhood

But why can't every day be just this good?

Sometimes it's lonely

Sometimes it's only me

And the shadows that fill this room

Sometimes I'm fallin

Desperately callin

Howlin at the moon...

Ahwoo

Ahwoo

Well I might go get me a new tattoo

Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise

Might even grow me a Fu Man Chu...

And it's a great day to be alive

I know the sun's still shinin when I close my eyes

There's some hard times in the neigborhood

But why can't every day be just this good?

"Mardy Bum" - Arctic Monkeys

Now then, Mardy Bum.

I see your frown,

And it's like looking down the barrel of a gun.

And it goes off,

And out come all these words.

Oh, there's a very pleasant side to you,

A side I much prefer.

It's one that laughs and jokes around;

Remember cuddles in the kitchen,

Yeah, to get things off the ground?

And it was up, up and away...

Oh, but it's right hard to remember

That on a day like today, when you're all argumentative

And you've got a face on...

Well, now then, Mardy Bum.

Oh, I'm in trouble again, aren't I?

I thought as much,

'Cos you turned over there

Pulling that silent disappointment face;

The one that I can't bear.

Can't we laugh and joke around?

Remember cuddles in the kitchen,

Yeah, to get things off the ground?

And it was up, up and away...

Oh, but it's right hard to remember

That on a day like today, when you're all argumentative

And you've got a face on.

Yeah, I'm sorry I was late.

Well I missed the train

And then the traffic was a state.

And I can't be arsed to carry on in this debate

That reoccurs... oh, when you say I don't care...

Well, of course I do, yeah, I clearly do!

So laugh and joke around,

Remember cuddles in the kitchen

Yeah, to get things off the ground.

And it was up, up and away...

Still it's right hard to remember

That on a day like today when you're all argumentative,

And you've got a face on...
