Day 425 - Levi Weaver - Sick or Determined

DAY 425
Levi Weaver - "Sick or Determined"
From "You Are Never Close to Home, You Are Never Far From Home"




Every time this track comes on the Ipod I keep thinking I need to pick this song on my top 10K blog... and so, here I am finally doing so.

I had the pleasure of meeting Levi Weaver when he played a show here in Spokane at The Empyrean coffee house in April of 2008. My hubby opened up for him. :)

The lyrics to this song are so incredibly captivating and brilliant they truly speak for themselves as to why this song is so amazing. :)

There's nowhere to balance between sick & determined
The verdict will be determined by if you keep returning
Even if you're saying "No," at least you'll let me keep learning
Someday I will figure you out
If it takes all of my years I will figure you out someday

Your password on the Rubik's cube, encrypted in braille
And all it takes is common sense to see that I'm gonna fail
And I'll fail, and I'll fail, you're a complicated women
But someday I will figure you out
If it takes all of my years I will figure you out someday

And part of what it means to be a man is to believe in something grander than his hands can hold
And faith And love are evidence of something more than circumstance of work beneath the skin and bones
The logical, the monotone, I can't explain but still I know someday I will figure you out

There's no where to balance between sick & determined
The verdict will be determined by if you keep returning
Even if you're saying "No," at least I'm still learning
Someday I will figure you out
If it takes all of my years I will figure you out someday

Day 424 - The Droge and Summers Blend - Two of the Lucky Ones

DAY 424
The Droge and Summers Blend - "Two of the Lucky Ones"
From "Volume One"




So this has been Zombieland weekend for me having gone to see this movie in theaters 3 times in the last 2 days. Yeah it is seriously that good. Yeah there might be some blood and guts, but it's nothing gratuitous and the acting and humor involved just make the movie amazing to me.

This song is playing in the background during one of the few tender moments in the film and I fell in love with it instantly. It appears The Droge and Summers Blend is a boyfriend/girlfriend singer/songwriting duo. Pete Droge and Elaine Summers both sound fantastic in this soft and romantic song. The playing is nearly magical in it's execution. Lots of bright and twinkling moments that encourage you to imagine yourself dancing under the stars...

I look forward to hearing more of their songs. Check out this beautiful composition on this YouTube link.
