Somewhere North
May 21, 2008 Music
Here is a song that I have been listening to over and over again. It’s called Somewhere North by a band called Caedmon’s Call. Click the little play button next to the link below to hear it. Also, the lyrics are below to follow along. I see this as one of those songs that can speak to different people on several levels. Enjoy!
Somewhere North
It’s a muggy night in Houston
And all the intersections are like full service stations
I’m on my way to a familiar place
It’s cold in Kansas City
And you can no more hear me than I can see your face
How I wish it was just you and me
We wouldn’t have to talk above the crowd
We wouldn’t have to talk so loud
I give you my life and all I am
But what I have to give
So I hand you a candid photograph of this little boy
‘Cause I have nothing to my name
But I can give you that
I don’t miss the driving
Seems like forever
And I’m always driving in my mind
And wearing out the road that gets me there
And I’m driving till my eyes just can’t see straight
But I suppose that it’s getting late
I may never find the sleep
I’ve lost all feeling in my hands and
Feet may touch the ground but
My mind’s somewhere north of here

Tuesday Tunes: Derek Webb and Sandra McCracken - “Ampersand EP”
May 13, 2008 Music, tuesday tunes
I had the pleasure of meeting Derek Webb (of Caedmon’s Call) and Sandra McCracken a few years back, and they are very interesting, thought-provoking people. Each have recorded several cd’s in the past, but now for the first time, Derek and Sandra are teaming up for this EP.
The cd is an acoustic, mellow journey of songs dealing with faith, love, life, marriage, and everything in between. Lyrically, it is top notch. Musically, it is so raw and basic, but I love that. Sandra especially reminds me of some of Sheryl Crow’s older acoustic music.
Check this one out, and then go check out some of Derek and Sandra’s solo cd’s (not to mention all of the Caedmon’s Call cd’s Derek is a part of).

Video Vednesday - I Want a Broken Heart
May 7, 2008 Music
In my attempt to have a catchy weekly blog post thing that has matching first letters in the title, I have decided to start what I am calling “Video Vednesday”. Say it like the count from Sesame Street: Viiiideo Veeeednesday, ah ah ah”. Okay, I have de-railed. For those of you that are miraculously still reading, here we go:
Here is my cover of Derek Webb’s “I Want a Broken Heart”. By the way, if you watch Grey’s Anatomy, you heard one of Derek’s songs a few episodes ago. Anyways, enjoy!
