catch22girlI feel all inspired in a way right now. I just saw The Kennedys and Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams. The Kennedys are this AWESOME husband and wife band who are just the nicest people like, ever. They sing this song "Life is Large" that makes me want to grab a bookbag or a suitcase and just run off. I want to experience the world when I hear this song, it makes me less afraid, makes me want to get on that plane and take that trip and tell that person I like them, and yes, it's inspirational.
One of the Nields actually wrote this song, It's called "Easy People". It really spoke to me.
It made me think of a few of my friends. And relationships. And people in general.
Easy People

We sat around the table and drank a bottle of wine
And it poured around us like a moat till no one could get us, and I was fine
And I said, "Haven't I paid my dues by now, haven't I paid my dues by now
Haven't I paid my dues by now, don't I get the right to choose?
And I choose you to take up all of my time
I choose you because you're funny and kind
I want easy people from now on"
Chorus
Easy people
Easy people
My house is full of empty rooms and broken frames and other people's stuff
In my house we see by Christmas lights and your TV, and that seems to be enough
To see what we want to see
You let me be who I want to be
And we'll be easy from now on, from now on
Chorus
Why can't I be easy, why can't I be easy like you?
For you I would give the songs I write, the words I pray, the morning light
That pumps into this room today, if you would only rise, if you would only say
"I want you to take up all of my time
I want you because you're funny and kind
And we'll be easy from now on, from now on"
Chorus

Hmmm why isn't MSN working? Oh I know, my computer hates me -- it won't even jump back like it should be doing, c'mon computer, jump back an hour!
Edit: That should be the song inspires me to do things like take a trip, get on a plane or tell someone that I like them in general - not that I'd need to take a trip or even have anyone I'd tell that to right now - lol. I realize that was a little confusing.
