Galations 2:20

"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

Seuss'd

Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite.  Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance.  Everyone is just waiting. 
—Dr. Seuss

Is This It?

And now the silence between us is killing me.
But you're too stubborn to come around.
I'm worn out.
I'm sick of trying.
You have built these walls that even I cannot break down.
You feed off the drama like a starved animal.
You're losing me.
Don't do this.

ĵ(|{ 17.

I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air
They fly so high, nearly reach the sky
And like my dreams they fade and die

Fortune's always hiding,
I've looked everywhere
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air

Mind Has Officially Been Blown

Last night I saw City and Colour (my favorite band ever, ever) at the Music Box in Hollywood and all I'm going to say is that Dallas Green is an incredibly talented man.

Set List included:
The Girl
Constant Knot
Body in a Box
As Much As I Ever Could
Sleeping Sickness
Forgive Me
Day Old Hate
The Death of Me
That's all I can remember right now. He played some new songs too, which of course were really good.
When it was all over, the crowd was chanting for an encore. Dallas walked out, by himself, no guitar, and stood in front of the mic. The whole room was dark and he had one spotlight on him. He gave the most heartfelt speech of gratitude to all of his fans and then left us with one last song. The most beautiful, accapella rendition of "Grinnin' In Your Face" by Son House. It kinda went something like this, but this is from a show in September. Same diff.




It was amazing. The whole crowd was silent and then we all started stomping and clapping. It was really cool. He blew my mind. Major.

Lissie opened for him. She had a very unique voice, almost haunting. BUT — yes, there's always a but — her voice kept cracking when she was going in for the high notes. Maybe it was because she was getting over being sick, but there were certain points during her set that my ears literally hurt. Eeeek! I even saw one guy standing kind of near me who looked like he was falling asleep. I'm not quite sure what exactly I think of her. I think she sounds better in her recording sessions than live.

So that's my concert review. Sufficient and complete.
