I've Always Had A Thing For Musicians...

Isn't it interesting how sexy a guy becomes when you realize he's a musician? Well, maybe not the tuba player (no offense to the tuba players out there, of course!), but you know...a REAL musician. A clever set of lyrics. Playing the guitar. A great voice. Sigh. Nothing I love more.

"Here's someone now whose got the muscle
His steady hand could move a mountain
Expert in bed but come on now
There must be something missing"


(world where you live, crowded house)

"Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell"


(seven nation army, the white stripes)

Music IS powerful. I love it. I love that Sammy loves it. I love that Sammy knows who The White Stripes are.

"Pumped up full of vitamins
On account of all the seriousness
You say youre so happy now
You can hardly stand"


(are you ready to be heartbroken, lloyd cole)

"My hands clench the squeegee, my secular rosary
Hang on to your wallet, hang on to your rings
Can't look below me, or something might throw me
Curse at the windstorms that October brings"


(when i fall, barenaked ladies)

"Ask me what I want
Easy that's just more
How long will I wait for you
Twice as long as I did before
Standing in the freezing snow
Maybe you left I just don't know"


(dirty sticky floor, dave gahan)

Did I mention I'll be slack-jawed tonight at a Better Than Ezra concert? That's right. Braving the 20* weather and I cannot wait. Sexy, I tell you. Man I love live music...

"Hey, you've got a lot of nerve to show your face around here.
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve to dredge up all my fears.
Well, I wish I could shake some sense into you and walk out the door.
But your skin is like porcelain."


(porcelain, better than ezra...oh, yeah)

I was sorry to hear that you weren't going to make the concert. I hope Sammy feels better soon. Let us know if we can do anything.

tawnya said...

Yeah...not as sorry as I am! I'm trying not to pout...

His fever broke about an hour ago, but he's pretty miserable. Hopefully he feels better in the morning.

How was Texas Roadhouse?

Glad to know that tuba players are not sexy because all the tuba players I know are named:
Donovan, Trevor, Ethan...

Loved this post, it's just SO true. I adore when my fiance pulls out his guitar. It's always a "wow"...

Oh, you're so lucky! I love concerts too, but we don't go to as many since Elizabeth arrived. That is so funny that Sammy knows who the White Stripes are. I'm going to have to train Lizzy to know Keane, M. Ward, Iron & Wine, and Ray LaMontagne.

Zach and Jen and Elizabeth said...

oh wait...I just read you didn't get to go. That's sad! You'll have to go to whatever the next concert in town is to make up for it.

tawnya said...

Oh, Jen. I love Keane! Next time they are here, I think we should do a double date!

Yeah, it was a tough call, but I couldn't leave him so sick. Sad, but what are you gonna do?

Texas Roadhouse was was good, but we had a forever wait. I think we were there almost an hour before we sat down to eat. I am glad we decided ahead of time to nix the movie or we would never have made it. I just couldn't leave Gabe for dinner AND a movie. It was the first time we have left him with someone other than Mom and it was too long. He was great, but I worry.
