Lessons from Lyrics #2

The second set of lyrics in this series are from The Raconteurs.

"You want everything to be just like
The stories that you read but never write
You gotta learn to live and live and learn
You gotta learn to give and wait your turn
Or you'll get burned"

Lessons from Lyrics #1

I'm going to start a new series here, one of lyrics. I'll highlight those that have made me stop and reflect. I hope you'll take a moment to do the same. If you have particular lyrics that you'd like to share with me, comment away.

Today's lyrics are from the The Flaming Lips.

"You realize the sun doesn't go down

It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round"

Do you Realize??

Don't Pay Full Price on Wedding Gifts

The only time I go to Bed Bath and Beyond is to buy a wedding gift, and I always bring a coupon. I check my pile for the best deal by comparing $5 and $10 off deals to the percentage discount ones.

In Matters of Darkness

 

my dad's backyard during a hail storm

 

…. I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love,
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.

 

T. S. Elliot,  from The Four Quartets:  East Coker
