Music Monday – “I can tell you’re a sad boy just like me/Baby, don’t deny what your poor heart needs/Been so long since he called your name/On the run from a losing game/Just bat your eyes, baby, let me feel the pain”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di1GA0dcX-I “C’mon Baby, Cry” – Orville Peck  I think we’ve established that I am neither hip nor cool. So I am reliant on younger coworkers to inform my musical choices and this one was perfect: “He’s like this gay guy from a punk rock group singing awesome country songs.  He’s Canadian and we’re going to […]

Music Monday – Rush E

My daughter told me about this song which is apparently the hardest piano song in the world and impossible for a human to play (although the one video below claims to do it).

Music Monday – “I just wanna feel real love/Feel the home that I live in/’Cause I got too much life/Running through my veins/Going to waste”

When Shea and I got married on the beach in Mexico in 2003, this song was in heavy rotation on one of the music channels in our hotel room. (In fact, I briefly thought she might call off the wedding to pursue Robbie Williams.  Or if she didn’t, I might as he’s just that damn […]

Music Monday – “It’s knowing that this can’t go on forever/Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone/Maybe we’ll get forty years together/But one day I’ll be gone/Or one day you’ll be gone”

I’ve told the story on this blog a few times before how Shea and I technically got married three times (with the related joke that most men can’t keep track of one anniversary and I have to remember three.  Or, flipping that, I have three chances to remember it!) To recap… Our Three Weddings * Feb […]

Music Monday – “Cause if summer is here/I’m still waiting there/Winter is here/And I’m still waiting there”

I have many fond memories of regularly going to the Ness Creek Music Festival, a hippie festival in Northern Saskatchewan, when I was in my twenties. I can’t remember their name but one moment of perfection was a band I’d never heard of but that ended up being a reggae band who brought a little […]

Music Monday – “Well did you hear?/There’s a natural order/Those most deserving will end up with the most/That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top/Well I say, “Shit floats”
