Friday came and went with no favorite song posted....maybe Fridays are bad days to try to do that, but no other day starts with F so we're stuck.
Ain't No Reason - Brett Dennen
It's hard to choose favorite lyrics because basically all of them qualify. Brett Dennen is one of my new favorite artists...his observations/lyrics are simple but so profound. It's like the rest of us are all going about our lives in a half-asleep daze and he's wide awake seeing it all clearly. I hadn't seen the video until tonight, but it's nearly as moving as the lyrics themselves. How lucky most of us are, and how we take it for granted.
Favorites:
Prophets on the sidewalk beggin’ for change
People walk around pushing back their debts/Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets
People walk a tight rope on a razors edge/Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons.
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen/Or a thought or a word or a sentence.
Keep on buildin’ prisons, gonna fill them all/Keep on buildin’ bombs, gonna drop them all
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth.
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes/Chaos and commotion wherever I go, love I try to follow.
