I'm Rob, from Connecticut. I'm a TV/Music/Movie addict, who has now become a Tumblr addict too! :)
I'll just be posting things that either amuse or annoy me... and music, *lots* of music! Enjoy!
The Avett Brothers - Jenny And The Summer Day (Live Radio Performance)
“What a darling summer time I have a car, I have a dime, baby, baby I know that won’t buy anything But I would steal you anything, baby, baby
The sun is hot, the wind is cool And we are finally outta school, baby, baby Well I’m in love, what can I say With Jenny and the summer day, baby, baby, baaaaby
What a darling summer time Come on in, the water’s fine, baby, baby I know that you’re afraid to swim So I’ll stay in the shallow end, baby, baby
The sun is hot, your touch is cool And we are finally outta school, baby, baby Well I’m in love, what can I say The sunlight burned my fear away, baby, baby, baaaaby…”
“Don’t say it’s over Cause that’s the worst news I could hear I swear that I will Do my best to be here just the way you like it Even though its hard to hide Push my feelings all aside I will rearrange my plans and change for you
If I could go back That’s the first thing I would do I swear that I would Do my best to follow through Come up with a master plan A homerun hit, a winning stand A guarantee and not a promise That I’ll never let your love slip from my hands…”
“…One foot in and one foot back But it don’t pay to live like that So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks For never to return
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in Are you aware the shape I’m in My hands they shake, my head it spins Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in…”
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted this one, and since it was on today’s shuffle list that gives me a great excuse to post it again! - One of my all-time favorite songs & albums.
It was a New Year’s Day at the seaside bar, there was a special on PBR, the ocean roared outside the door. Nothin’ but us and some hardcore drinkers lost in the stormy day. How blue was the blue of your eyes against the sky of gray?
The Avett Brothers, covering “The Prettiest Thing”
“…I hope that I don’t sound too insane when I say there is darkness all around us I don’t feel weak but I do Need sometimes for her to protect me And reconnect me To the beauty that I’m missing…”
“…I remember crying over you, and I don’t mean like a couple of tears and I’m blue. I’m talking about collapsing and screaming at the moon, but I’m a better man for having gone through it. Yes, I’m a better man for having gone through…”
“…From town to town and state to state There’s people everywhere that try to capture us We stole the cash and left our names And almost slipped in Indianapolis The rain it fell, the story went on The rain it fell, and we got gone
Poughkeepsie, hang up the telephone Won’t answer your phone calls no more New York, quit callin’, New York, leave me be
Changing the plans that I’ve been setting on I’m scared by the way that my life is getting gone Carolina, one day I’ll, someday I’ll come home Carolina, one day I’ll, someday I’ll come home”
“…And if I came to you tomorrow, and said let’s run away Would you roll like the wind does, baby would you stay?
My heart is dancin’, to a November tune And I hope that you hear it, singing songs about you. And I sing songs of sorrow, because you’re not around. See, babe I’m gone tomorrow, Baby follow me down.
I don’t know why I have to, but this man must move on. I love my time here, didn’t know ‘til I was gone. November shadows, shade November change. November spells sweet memory, the season blue remains…”
