Stand up tall, pretend you’re strong
In the hopes that you can be (when you’re waiting)
Like the one’s that cry, like the ones that die
Trying to set the angel in us free
And the waiting for a
And the waiting for a
And the waiting for a miracle
Wow orchard park ny. For 25 years I lived about a mile from that stadium in orchard park.
This song has been really special to me lately and makes me feel a lot of different things all at the same time.
I hope today was a better day for you @DowntroddenGoat
Man, I love box of rain.
Thinking of you.
So good in concert!!!
Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams to another land
Maybe you’re tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
To do for you, to see you through?
A box of rain will ease the pain and love will see you through
Peace and love to you @bootz
Neither of can ever have the last word as long as the music never stops. It has been playing before us and will hopefully continue on after us. So…
I go through the day and am sometime hit with the overwhelming sadness of it all and fight back the tears.
The only way I can describe how I feel right now is broken and scared how the pieces will be put back together. Maybe they won’t? Maybe I won’t be able to accept how they go back together?
I am just trying to be in the now and not in the wreckage of my future so I can try and help those around me who are in this with me and those who are in worse circumstances.
I know that if I was drinking still, I would be an anxious hot drunk mess wallowing in self pity and of no help to anyone. God. Those fucking tsunamis of anxiety that came over me and paralyzed me until I had a good swig from the bottle or maybe chugging a few white claws. I can feel I the way the crushing anxiety made me feel physically still just talking about it. You guys remind me that I never have to feel that way again.
I’m not sure his zydeco phase was all that great lol
Haha you’re right, I really love all his music to be honest
And I like that song that line is from, it’s pretty cheeky.
Graceland was fantastic.
Seen him a few times over the years.
It might be a repeat…
Loving this blast thru the past…good times and bad times. Only about halfway thru this special, but wanted to share it. Memories. Poignant.
I always wonder if I will make it back that way. There’s nothing there for me any more other than memories of a time long passed.
There’s an answer here, if I look hard enough
There’s a reason why I always reach for the harder stuff
It wasn’t my daddy’s way
