Song of the Day: Mama's Broke - How It Ends

Another sad song.  What can I say?  I love this sad, poignant song about a failed relationship.

But it's not all sad!  Even though it ended, the singer has to admit that it wasn't all bad.  Although maybe, based on the quote below, she doesn't want to remember that "the best [she's] ever had" was someone who let her down so badly.

What can I say, we've all been there.  Or at least I hope we have--I think.  Sometimes you have to take the bad with the good, in order to taste the good.  Look back and realize, oh man, there were some great times, hopefully, in any relationship.

All of the love could never be enough

To cover up the ugly and the sad

But honey if I could, I’d cover up the good

Cause even when it was bad, you were the best I’vе ever had

Then again, later in the song: 

Even when it was bad, you were the best I’ve ever had

Now I know how it ends

But I should have known then

How It Ends Lyrics

[Verse 1]

All those nights you wouldn’t dance with me

You spent the whole time smoking

And avoiding all my friends

I should have known then

[Verse 2]

Down at the bottom, sitting in the car

You left me on the hilltop

To mourn alone the passing of my friend

I should have known then

I should have known then

[Chorus]

All of the love could never be enough

To cover up the ugly and the sad

But honey if I could, I’d cover up the good

Cause even when it was bad, you were the best I’vе ever had

[Verse 3]

You came in crying, sworе you needed God

Said it broke your heart to go

But I was in your way

There’s nothing left to say

So many lies that all begin this way. A home with a garden, and “I’m yours forever darling” But you wrote the same old story in another woman’s bed Just like all the other men I should have known then

[Chorus]

All of the love could never be enough

To cover up the ugly and the sad

But honey if I could, I’d cover up the good

Even when it was bad, you were the best I’ve ever had

Now I know how it ends

But I should have known then

Song of the Day: Strawberry Runners - Look Like This

Have I mentioned before that I love finding new music?  You, my seven listeners*, know I do!

I LOVE the vibe of this song.

Strawberry Runners - Look Like This

I've got needs

I can't pinpoint

It's a comedy

I'm just a decoy

Look Like This

Strawberry Runners

Listen to me

I'm not half right

But if I could be

I'd never put up a fight

I've got needs

I can't pinpoint

It's a comedy

I'm just a decoy

And you

Are you the catalyst?

Or you

Are you the monolith?

And if I could see it

Like Patrick

I wouldn't be so sick

I'd be a big hit

But on the count of three

I'm gonna wake up

I'm gonna shake this dread

I'm gonna clean my head

And you

You don't exist

And you

You look like this

And you

You don't exist

And you

You look like this

And you

You look like this

And you

You look like this

And you

Song of the Day: Dengue Fever - Seeing Hands

I've always loved this song, but I happened to listen to it again recently and look up the lyrics.  Obviously I don't know what they are singing.  But check out this translation, wow!!  It's more intense than I realized!

Seeing Hands

Lyrics from Genius.com:

https://genius.com/Dengue-fever-seeing-hands-lyrics

Seeing Hands

Dengue Fever

Forest of pine trees on the ocean floor

Self-hypnotized from holding still for hours

Drift out to sea, frozen

Forgetting how to move muscle

First I'm going to heat you up

And then I'm going to freeze you

So that you can think

Of all the ways you hurt me

Then, after thousands of years

If I'm in a good mood

I'll let you crawl out

Crawl out from your cave

I've given you everything I have

And you wasted it all

Now it's winter time

And you can suck on a hair ball

And chew on dry fish bones

Then, if I'm in a good mood

We can go for a walk

Roll down a grass hill

Soak our feet in the river
