Don't just call me a pessimist; try and read between the lines.

Happy Holidays

I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change my friend
Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this

Just a few of my favorite tunes for this time of the year.

(Warning) a few songs do contain "offensive" language used sparingly

We barely remember what came before this precious moment,Choosing to be here right now.
Hold on, stay inside...This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.

i don't want to be a proud man, i just want to be a man
a little less like my father and more like my dad
i want to hunt like david i want to kill me a giant man
i want to slay my demons but i've got lots of them

I’ve been hearing stories about the end of the world
But I’m in love with a girl and I don’t wanna leave her
And the television screams such hideous things
They’re talking about the war on the radio
They say the whole thing’s gonna blow
And we will all be left alone
No we’ll be dead and we won’t know what hit us

so collapse all your plans
like a map in your hands
cause it won't take long to burn the ###### ###### down
is any disaster unnatural?
we have the ability it's remarkable
to cycle through the seasons adapting to the reason the waters low
if we listen to the sign of the tides when she calls we'll know

A squirrel in the tree, is he watching me?
Does he give a damn? Does he care who I am?
I’m just a man, is that all I am?
‘Cause we’re only human Oh yes we are, only human
If it’s our only excuse, do you think we’ll keep on being only human?
Oh yes we are, only human, so far, so far

Great Stuff!
Have never looked into embedding videos on here...so, hope this will do --

Squirm ~ Dave Matthews Band

Please find your place
The room grows scarce
Once we’re all inside
The service can begin
For a moment, if you please
Forget what you believe
And naked, you will see
That we are all the same

But how, your kiss
Your words, your lips
Your flesh, your bones
Exactly what you need
Your flesh, your bones
Exactly what you need

Drum beats louder
Drum beats louder

Why should I feel intrusion?
Why be afraid of what we do not understand?
To eliminate exclusion
Cut out the differences to feel like we belong

Drum beats louder
Drum beats louder

Open up your head
Open up you primitive
Open up your mouth
Open up your head
Your sweet primitive
Open up your mouth
It's coming out

Out there, no food or drink
How many days do you think you’d last
On your diamonds and your pearls?

I’m not a king, no, not a hero, not a fool
I'm not perfect, I'm flesh and bone
And I'm exactly what you need

Drum beats louder

Open up your head
Open up you primitive
Open up your mouth
Open up your head
Your sweet primitive
Open up your mouth
It's coming out
Open up your head
Scream, you sweet primitive
Tell me what you said

But how, your kiss
Your words, your lips
Not a gun to your head
You're gonna die before you're dead

Not sad, when you're gone
But when your light’s still on
Your dreams wont let you fly
Don't be dead before you die
Hunger, till fed, give love instead
When it gets inside, watch the dead man squirm

Above all things
If kindness is your king
Then heaven will be yours before you reach your end
...

Many more...but, won't bother bothering you with them, now!
Best Wishes!

I don't think I could have made it this far without music. I like Dave as well, been a bit since I've listen to him.

I liked that, thanks
