Another Amos Inspiration

Sometimes we think about all the troubles that we just can't handle, but we must choose to be strong and if all we can to pull us up is our memories, let them pull us up for now until we can find that greater strength that we truly need.


Amos Lee - Better Days

the darkness has always been,
the world was born into a blanket of sin,
when all the faith's been gone,
still we found a reason to carry on,
through the worrry, worry, worry,
caught in an endless maze
oh when the lights go out,
all i can think about,
is how, we've seen better days...

oh lover lately i've been thinkin i might leave you,
as you're surrounded by these fools who do decieve you,
yes our past is wretched true,
but i'm still in love with you,
thats why i am still refusin to give in to
all this worry, worry, worry
caught in an endless maze,
but when the lights go out,
all i can think about,
is how, we've seen better days

where do we go from here,
while we're all so consumed by feer,
why im trying not to be suspiscious of those im suspicious of,
I'm tryin to crackopen this angry heart and find a little love,
still i worry, worry, worry,
caught in an endless maze,
still when the lights go out,
all that i can think about is how we've seen better days,

oh when the lights go out,
all i can dream about,
is how, we've seen better days...

Batman Mania

Ok so he's aging, but aren't we all? Do you remember when he played Jack Kelly in Disney's "Newsies?" But man- he makes an incredible Batman. However, as excited as I was to see him put on that bullet-proof suit and fly across Gotham City, Jake was intensely more excited. Maybe it's that whole guys and super-hero thing. Juuuuuust maybe! This show was lots of fun to watch!

Bottom of the Barrel

"What makes a man a man? A friend of mine once wondered. Is it his origins? The way he comes to life? I don't think so. It's the choices he makes. Not how he starts things, but how he decides to end them."
- "Hellboy"

In light of a few recent events I find this man's song and voice very comforting. How true it is that everyone gets pushed to the bottom, but how far is that from the top? Do we really know? We wil never know unless we begin to climb.


"Bottom Of The Barrel"
Amos Lee

I keep on livin',
to keep from cryin'.
I keep on dreamin',
to keep from dyin'.
I keep on trying,
I aint gonna stop.

Get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.

We all know someone,
whos always hurtin',
The sun is shinin',
they draw the curtain.
One thing for certain,
the pain aint gonna stop.

You get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.

Cuz i know the grass,
is always greener in someone else's yard.
And the world is so much meaner,
when your heart is hard.

I go out walkin',
in any season.
It could be rainin',
it could be freezin'.
I don't need no reason,
it's just so pleasin'.
And i can't stop.

You get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.

You get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.
