Birds

It's a bit of a pity my blog has fallen into a state of neglect since November. Rest assured though, many adventures have been had since then--Colombia in November; yurting and cross country skiing in Minnesota in January; lots of downhill skiing in February and March (and friends and family from South Dakota coming to visit for said skiing); in April, a half marathon, and then a week later, a road trip to New Mexico and Texas with great friends; and of course, I've been lucky to see tons and tons of great live music the past 6 months!

Here's a clip of one of my favorite bands, The Submarines, performing their song "Birds" from their recently released album "Love Notes and Letter Bombs" on April 16 at Independent Records in Denver for Independent Record Store day. They're opening for Brett Dennen on June 8th at the Ogden if you want to check them out (and you're in the area).


sometimes i ask how could it be
someone like you would want someone like me
and i'm here waiting on your love
i've been lying awake at night
listening to the birds singing in the dark
and i'm still waiting on your love

we could be holding on tighter
had to learn to let go as we got higher

oh no oh no don't go
i want to take you home tonight
our love our love our love
hey what if everything's all right

if the morning comes at all
i'll dress you up like you're my paper doll
take you everywhere I go
we won't be afraid to be happy
it's not so easy feeling everything
we were so ready for the fall

if we could only surrender let it in
we'd never have to ask what we were missing
