fuck you, Dave Matthews

So it is no secret that I pretty much despise Dave Matthews. Yes, there are a few songs that I like, but I just hate the whole princple behind jam bands (yes, the Dead are counted in there) and the like (watch out there, prog rock, you are pushing it). I guess I don't like too much creativity in concerts, because I like knowing that the show they saw in Philly was more or less then same as the one I saw in Milwaukee. I just hate how these bands do everything different at each show, the getting a bazillion dollars in sales from all the different "Live From" albums.

With that said, man! I LOVE the song Two Step. I always have.

I started adding songs to my standalone player on my myspace (which, by the way, is a major inconvenience to people not using it but storing music online but is seriously like, the cooolest fucking thing I have seen for myspace, like ever and I was reeeeally tempted to add it to this page, but I withheld, you're welcome) and as that was playing, I took a long hard listen to Two Step....

and I realised what my problem is.

Well, okay, I have major problems. I know this. I know they are also too many to list here. So maybe I should have said: I know what one of my love problems is.

I want to have some guy feel for me the way good ol' Dave does in that song. I want someone to say that I drive them to distraction. I want someone to celebrate life with me, for christ's sake. I am so sick of the feeling I get that I badger people into dating me. I mean, Michael always sort of gave me that impression, that I had to convince him to date me (or maybe plead is a better word). I could list another three and that's just recently! I know I am a tough cookie, and I know I am very outgoing, very take charge, very smart and that is a LOT to handle. But seriously? It's not that bad. I guess I need to find a guy who can take the kid gloves off with me and let go.

And so, the lyrics (even though any time I do anything with lyrics I think of stupid Brad Johnson and him telling me that he thinks lyrics are dumb and hold no meaning. And yes, I know he's reading this):

Say, my love, I came to you
With best intentions
You laid down and gave to me just what
I'm seeking
Love, you drive me to distraction

Hey my love do you believe that we
Might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this?
Our flesh and blood it ties
You and me right up
Tie me down

Celebrate we will
Because life is short but sweet for certain
Were climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue,
These things we cannot change

Hey, my love, you came to me like
Wine comes to this mouth
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and you
Quench my mind

Celebrate we will
Because life is short but sweet for certain
Were climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue,
The things we cannot

Celebrate, you and me, climbing
Two by two, to be sure
These days continue, things we cannot change

Oh, my love, I came to you
With best intentions
You laid down and gave to me just what
I'm seeking

Celebrate we will
Because life is short but sweet for certain
Were climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue,
Things we cannot change...
Things we cannot change...

Oh man. That is good right there (said, picturing Patty and Selma Bouvier, smoking, watching MacGyver.)

And maybe I need to lay of the contra for a little bit. This getting high and then writing deep shit is getting to be really far out, man. (wink!)
