A 35 year-old Saturday morning ear worm from a band that took their name from a Monty Python skit.

#FearNothing's so cold
As closing the heart when all we need
Is to free the soul
But we wouldn't be that brave, I know
And the air outside's so soft
Confessing everything
Everything -
So beautifully brilliant, brought to mind as I was driving home from work listening to Wisconsin Public Radio.

#SoTonightThatIMightSeeI wanna hold the hand inside you
I wanna take the breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life, you go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go blind
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there
Fade Into You

The nighty night jam: saw this band when they opened for U2 at the Kemper Arena in downtown Kansas City in November of 2001. That was a good show.

As far I’m concerned, one of the more underrated bands of the 90s. The lyrics to this one are kinda relevant these days.

#JarOfFliesYeah, it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No Excuses
Then I know -
Mid-Monday ear worm: “A beautiful fucked up man.” I’ve been called that. And worse. 😉

#SevenYearItchAnd all of your friends are now whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends, I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop sucking all my Energy -

Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destinationI realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means -
There was some decent rock radio in the 90s, some of it right here on deck. Just about tea time for this old guy.

Once upon a time, my three children gave me The Verve’s “Urban Hymns” to me for my birthday. I considered myself a Lucky Man.

It's just a change in me, something in my liberty
Oh, my, my

#KeroseneHatSometimes I wanna take you down
Sometimes I wanna get you Low
Brush your hair back from your eyes
Take you down, let the river flow
Sometimes I go and walk the street
Behind the green sheet of glass
A million miles below their feet
A million miles, a million milesI'll be with you, girl
Like being Lowhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w8Iid0M6Jyo&pp=0gcJCfwAo7VqN5tD

The evening’s “live” selection on deck also happens to be one of my “Iraq songs” I’d listen to while deployed there in 2004.

#AmericanStandardToo heavy too light, too black or too white,
too wrong or too right, today or tonight
Cumbersome
Too rich or too poor, she's wanting me less
And I'm wanting her more
The bitter taste is Cumbersome -
I took this day, 1 August, off; since 2006, when my oldest son Ryan was killed in action in Iraq, it’s just been one of those days where it’s quite difficult to think about much else.

#IxnayOnTheHombreMaybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal, it's so unfair
And it feels, and it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels, yeah, it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've Gone Away

#SocialDistortionSome people like to gamble,
But you, you always lose.
Some people like to rock 'n' roll,
You're always singin' the blues
You gotta nasty disposition,
No one really knows the reason why,
You gotta bad, bad reputation,
Gonna hang your head down and cry -

Anatomy of an ear worm: there I was this morning, listening to NPR’s “Morning Edition” on Wisconsin Public Radio, getting ready for what’s gonna be a nice day weather-wise with a forecast high of 78, and the local WPR announcer does a little weather forecast during a break that concludes with two words: no rain.

#MarcyPlaygroundHangin' 'round downtown by myself
And I've had too much caffeine
And I was thinkin' 'bout myself
And then there she was
In platform double suede
Yeah, there she was
Like disco lemonade, yeah -
Such a pretty song in one of those lovely, mesmerizing ways.

As I was riding today with my 37 year-old daughter and her two daughters (ages 5 and 2 1/2) in their van today my daughter programmed a song from her youth that I would play and she, as a toddler, would dance around the living room to. That she has this 36 year-old tune on her playlist and she sings it (not missing a word) and plays it now for her kids kinda brought a tear or two to the old man’s eyes.

Good heavens. Those ear worms while you edit newspaper articles. My daughter LOVED this song when it first showed up in ‘94 and today, at almost 37, she plays it for her little girls. I’m a proud dad/grampa. 😎
