Really nice cover of an old song, much better than the original in my opinion.

Quote of the Day: Knowing You Matter

"One of the best feelings in the world is knowing your presence and absence both mean something to someone."  - Unknown

That's what I'd like in my life, and I'm sure I'm not alone.  Both to have someone like that, and to be that someone for another person.

Here's the Internet's response to 'Thank a Police Officer Day'

I'm not happy that September 20th is "thank an officer day."  But I am happy to know that the Internet has my back.  Love this article!

Quote of the Day: John Green on Love

"I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things.  I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”  - John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

Song of the Day: Rachael Yamagata - Quiet

Yet another artist that makes me wonder how I never heard of her before.  And why I should bother with ever turning on the radio.

"Quiet - Rachael Yamagata"

The whole album is simply fabulous.

"Quiet"

Baby says I can't come with him
And I had read all of this in his eyes
Long before he even said so
Why go, I asked
You know and I know why
And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything

Take care
I've been hurt before
Too much time spent on closing doors
You may hate me, but I'll remember to love you
Goodbye
Don't cry
You know why
And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything

All the waves of blame arrange as broken scenery
As they steal your best memories away
What if I was someone different in your only history?
Would you feel the same
As I walk out the door
Never to see your face again
Never to see your face again

And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
It'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything
I don't expect anything to change when I leave

"Open"

I'm a fool for that shake in your thighs
I'm a fool for that sound in your sighs
I'm a fool for your barely
I'm a fool for your love

I wanna make this play
Oh, I know you're faded
Hmm, but stay, don't close your hands
I wanna make this play
Oh, I know you're faded
Hmm, but stay, don't close your hands

Caught in this pool held in your eyes
Caught like a fool without a line
We're in a natural spring
With this gentle sting between us

I wanna make this play
Oh, I know you're faded
Hmm, but stay, don't close your hands
I wanna make this play
Oh, I know you're faded
Hmm, but stay, don't close your hands

Ooh, stay open
Ooh, stay open

Stay open
Stay open

I wanna make this play
Oh, I know you're faded
Hmm, but stay, don't close your hands
I wanna make this play
Oh, I know you're faded
Hmm, but stay, don't close your hands

Stay open
Stay open
Stay open

Hmm, stay open
