Music

I am a Morphine addict. No not the drug - Mark Sandman's Band.

Yes it's his real name. His music and lyrics are amazing - funny, witty, and sad at times, but he did things with certain words that is pretty darned impressive - especially when set next to the band's signature low bass, sax & heavy drum beat (often referred to as low rock).

If you like rock at all, I'd suggest a listen or two. Start with the Album "Good" and follow the chronology to get the full effect (check out the lyrics here). I wish I knew how to embed music (or photos or music that's not from You Tube) into this here blog. If anyone who reads can help with this, please leave a comment!

This is one of my favorites - hell everything Morphine did is one of my favorites:

I'm Free Now

I'm free now to direct a movie
Sing a song or write a book about yours truly
How I'm so interesting I'm so great I'm really just a fuck-up
And It's such a waste to burn down these wall around me
Flexing like a heartbeat we don't like to speak
Don't talk to me for about a week I'm sorry it just hurts to explain
There's something going on that makes my guts ache
I got guilt I got fear I got regret
I'm just a panic stricken waste I'm such a jerk
I was honest I swear the last thing I want to do
Honest I swear the last thing I want to do
Is ever cause you pain
Oh
I'm free now
Free to look out the window
Free to live my story
Free to sing along
Oh (x4)
I'm free now to direct a movie

It's such a waste to burn down these wall around me
Flexing like a heartbeat we don't like to speak
Don't talk to me for about a week I'm sorry it just hurts to explain
There's something going on that makes my guts ache inside
I got guilt I got fear I got regret
I'm just a panic stricken waste I'm such a jerk
I was honest I swear the last thing I want to do
Honest I swear the last thing I want to do
Is ever cause you pain
Oh (x2)
