None The Same - Lyrics

Wed, 15 May 2013 13:16:41 -0700

i’d never leave you

My friend Clay and I exchange music periodically and he recently sent me a link to some good Bill Withers tracks, so I figured I’d share with you one of the best of Mr. Wither’s live cuts, “Grandma’s Hands”:

i was pulling them off and dodging your daggers too
but you can’t see and you don’t care
how can i breathe the same air
when everything you say is untrue

i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you…

The Music Drug

Good morning!

Songwriting makes some mornings feel like Christmas. I wake up, and the first thing in my head is the song I was working on before I went to sleep, so I get right up and move straight to my guitar. It’s kind of like I remember asking Santa…
