Wednesday Wist Mix: October 26th, 2005

Barrel of a Gun - Guster

She will be sweet on me, just like a mystery
It's not so hard to see if I'm not mistaken
She comes from far away, and gets closer everyday
And all that I can say is that she's all I want and all that I
live for

I heard Guster for the first time when I was listening to the old WCLZ out of Portland. My ex and I had tickets to BNL and Guster opened for them. I was completely in awe the entire performance. The bongo guy is kick ass and their music is just really listener-friendly. Great band. If you don't know them..check them out.

Perfect Girl - Sarah McLachlan

The riot in my heart decides to keep me open and alive
I have to take myself away from you
cause I cant compete I cant deny theres nothing that I didnt try
how did I go wrong in loving you

This song reminds me of K.H. His initials are all you're getting. My friends will know who he is. I went to this concert with Pam, Jaime, and Sonya and at the time I was really close with K.H. But the song lyrics were perfect for my relationship with him...he was such a wonderful wonderful person....we just met at the wrong time in our lives. I could easily use words like regret but I won't. K.H. was perfect for me for the time he was in my life. He was a great friend...and excellent peer and just a good guy. I was lucky to experience him.

Mercedes Boy - Pebbles

Do you wanna ride in my mercedes
Boy?
Tell me what you're gonna do with me.
'cause if you wanna ride in my mercedes
Boy
There are so many things that I'm gonna do to you.

This song came out in 1988, I think. I used to LOVE it. I still find myself being all giddy when I hear it play over my ipod. Pebbles....what a name.

Face Up and Sing - Ani DiFranco

I know I can't be the only
whatever I am in the room
so why am I so lonely?
why am I so tired?
I need company
I need backup
I need to be inspired

Ani DiFranco is one of the most talented singer/songwriters there are. She's energetic...she's incredible live...she reminds me of college, of my early years as a teacher, and of how much now she inspires me to inspire young women of today's day and age.

I Need You - Edie Carey

I was taking pride in being lonely
I was busy making friends with myself
Theres nobody else who really knows me half as well


This artist was a friend of Skip Peri's and he mentioned her to me the one time I met him. This song is just so sweet and nice. Good songwriting and someone I'd suggest you guys look up if you like singer/songwriting.
