Since putting this on to listen to yesterday for a vinyl challenge, I've had it on repeat. . . . . . #headfullofdoubt #roadfullofpromise #theavettbrothers #iandloveandyou #theavettbros #avetts #2000saltcountry #2000salternativecountry #2000sbluegrass #altcountry #alternativecountry #bluegrass #bluegrassmeetsrock #mymorningearcandy #mymusicatschool #nowlistening #nowplaying https://www.instagram.com/p/BoHQDVoh_qL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=38awvzwn234y
There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light In the fine print they tell me what's wrong and what's right And it comes in black and it comes in white And I'm frightened by those that don't see it When nothing is owed or deserved or expected And your life doesn't change by the man that's elected If you're loved by someone, you're never rejected Decide what to be and go be it There was a dream and one day I could see it Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it And there was a kid with a head full of doubt So I'll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out There's a darkness upon you that's flooded in light And in the fine print they tell you what's wrong and what's right And it flies by day and it flies by night And I'm frightened by those that don't see it There was a dream and one day I could see it Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it And there was a kid with a head full of doubt So I'll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out There was a dream and one day I could see it Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it And there was a kid with a head full of doubt So I'll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light In the fine print they tell me what's wrong and what's right There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light And I'm frightened by those that don't see it
No time for practice!
A few days ago, I was on the sidelines when I heard someone advise a teenager (as part of a discussion on picking colleges) to be sure she didn’t marry the first guy she liked. And my first thought was: uh oh! Although I am mistaken for a teenager on a bi-weekly basis (witness today’s 21 year old dude assuring me that I’d discover hangovers soon enough), I’m past the age where most people are embarking on their practice relationships. You know, where you’re figuring our how things work a bit, but you’re both too young and dumb (or young and emotionally precocious, but still) for your relationship to really be fraught with the future-future. And I’m a little worried, because I agree- how can you know the first time? It doesn’t seem tenable. But I’m not interested in a relationship that I only see as practice- at my age, no one else would view it as such, and it doesn’t really seem fair to participate but not invest… Not that anyone “invests” immediately, but it seems like if things were to work- the first time- I wouldn’t trust it. And I don’t know if I’d be right or wrong!! As I say this, I’m increasingly struck by how pointless this thought is, because of course nobody knows if they’re right or wrong without sufficient passage of time. My problem is time itself. My current path- what I’m striving for- is something that I really can only do now. I can’t step away and come back. It must be now. But this path doesn’t lend itself to practice opportunities. And I’m afraid that- when I’ve accomplished all I can, be it in one year or three- the passage of time will have precluded me from achievements in other spheres- another profession, and an enduring relationship (which I don’t know if I want! But how can I know without practice? I mean, this post demonstrates that I want one in theory, but I can’t know until I’ve seen it in practice).
It’s amazing to me that some people know, in any small way, how to live their lives.
