Tune4TheDay


As music is such a passion of mine, I'd like to create an ongoing soundtrack to my life. So, here it goes. I'll be posting a song each day that inspires me, fits my mood, or just gets me wanting to dance. Hopefully, you can find inspiration here, too, along with discovering new artists. Enjoy!

Ask me about tunes and suggest a song

I’m starting to fall in love with Band of Horses. This video for “On My Way Back Home,” also reminds me of my trip to Ireland. Can I go back now, please? Lovely. 

Anyone else get reminded of the Beach Boys from the sound of Ben Bridwell’s voice on this song? 

Lyrics:

On my way back home, by chance I thought of
All my favorite songs, where I’d gone wrong
The only words that I could think of
I’m pissing my life away in the form of a song
On my way back home

Every step, a victory it was
I was cheating death, just in time I woke
My memories start to wander off
Come to me, the remembrance of
On my way back home

I came in this way and here now I’ll stay
If the unknown have to wait one more day
There’s often times that it comes out wrong
But luckily I, I got a mind to know
On my way back home

Artist: Band of Horses

Album: Infinite Arms

Tune: “On My Way Back Home”

Is this Frontier Ruckus video from 1978 or 2008? Either way, I love it. Perfect for a Saturday morning. 

Lyrics:

Anne, let’s die in some dim town
My brown eyes wait to weigh us down
The candles ‘round the tub will drown,
In our afternoons

Music from our evening parlor
Darker than the autumn hour
I gave my child twenty dollars
For tearing at our moons

Dark damp men muddied our house
In my dreams to bleed your blouse
I smiled from my sleep to douse
The horror of this hour

Our boy on dark hills blurry crawling
His rain-glazed shaking porches falling
The homes of all his friends just sprawling,
Withering like flowers

Anne, I’ve loved you from a boy
No other autumn could destroy
The town our winds fused to enjoy,
Whispering dark farmlands

Tearing moons, these moons are tearing
Swearing terror inside their daring,
Crumbling prayers, dark autumns faring,
Straight out of our hands
