I love the Internets

There’s a lot of stuff I share on the Internet every day. Here’s a round up of the things I most enjoyed last week by category.

Inspiration

  • Paste Magazine’s best photos of 2013. If I woke up tomorrow and knew how to shoot a pic like that Wayne Coyne or Jim James one, I wouldn’t be sad.
  • This is how I’ll lose you. “You’ll point to reasons for your fear, like my emotions, even though I handle them well, or my insecurity, even though it requires little of you, or my sexual appetite, even though I’m happy with how things are between us. You’ll tell yourself you’re justified, and you’ll begin to shut me out. I’ll feel it in an instant.” Another thoughtful piece from Thought Catalog. This site popped onto my radar this year and I’m glad for it.
  • Cinnamon Rolls 101 from The Pioneer Woman. I made these for Christmas morning breakfast. FROM SCRATCH. I cut the recipe in half then saved 1/3 of the dough for hot rolls. And I *still* had a full pan of them to put in the freezer for later in the week. And leftovers for the fridge. So. Damn. Good.

  • The best of Karen Walker. Another Thought Catalog piece. “You’ll do it like every self-respecting woman does. Get on your back, point your heels to Jesus and think of hand bags.”

Music

  • John Fullbright – Me Wanting You Still obsessed with this guy. That last show at the Blue Door really got him into my DNA. All the songs I want to hear are either in a holding pattern for the next album or so old they are only on YouTube. I hope I’m wrong about the latter.
  • John Fullbright – Paranoid Heart “Maybe wreckless hearts come in pairs. Maybe that’s the only shake we’ll ever get to call fair.” Jesus, John Fullbright. You give me all the feelings to feel. I hope you keep that art coming for the next 40 years or so.

Music

John Fullbright is a genius

There is a young guy with an old soul from Oklahoma who I’ve been fortunate enough to catch several times in concert. On Saturday I literally sat 4 feet from John Fullbright as he played this song.  I heard it for the first time this summer and found it beautiful, but since Saturday it has somehow slipped into my DNA. I can’t stop listening to it. Not kidding, I’ve heard it at least 30 times since Saturday. #obsessed

 

And because I’m obsessed, I transcribed the lyrics. You are welcome. 

When You’re Here by John Fullbright

Ever changing 
Ever moving 
Ever finding 
Ever losing 
Every moment of our choosing bears a cost.
As for lonely I can show you how to live a life alone
All it takes is getting used to getting lost.
Some are lovers 
Some are leeches 
Some are flings on sandy beaches 
Some are silent ’til the chances are all gone.
The queen of hearts dreams a lover
From that cold, cold king above her
While the joker makes his bed up all alone.
But don’t I feel like something when you’re here?
Don’t I feel my lungs losing air?
Don’t I feel like I can show you 
I’m the one you can go to 
When you need another heartbeat near?
Don’t I feel like something when you’re here?

And in my heart stands a scarecrow
If he’s hurt he doesn’t say so
And he chases everything he loves away
But at night when it’s colder
There’s a bluebird on his shoulder
And he whispers that he’ll hold her one bright day.

But don’t I feel like something when you’re here?
Don’t I feel my lungs losing air?
Don’t I feel like I can show you 
I’m the one you can go to 
When you need another heartbeat near?
Don’t I feel like something when you’re here? 

 

If you need me tonight I’ll be curled under my Christmas tree weeping myself to sleep.
