Have I Mentioned Lately...

how much I am in love with lyrics? I just don't think you people understand. If I like a song more than likely it is because of its lyrics. I guess its polarized though....that or I have no clue what the lyrics are and I just like the beat...but more often than not its because I like a single lyric...something that speaks to me. Well... the Grand Kerfuffle is coming up and HelloGoodbye, Shiny Toy Guns, and Augustana will all be playing.

For those of you who do not know, the Grand Kerfuffle is a huge outdoor concert held on campus at the end of the spring semester. It will be this Friday. I wasn't quite sure who Augustana was so I decided to look them up. Please enjoy. This next song makes me want to move to Boston. But...actually...it is almost exactly how I felt when I moved to Salt Lake. The lyrics... You don't know me... you don't even care. This reminds me of how I felt. I just wanted to get away to "where no one knows my name" I was "tired of this weather" & wanted a new town to leave it all behind. I wanted to see snow. I was tired. Could I ask for a better theme song? My suggestion is to press play and read the lyrics as you listen to it. Absolutely beautiful. If you don't fall in love with it... there must be something wrong with you!

Note... the origional video I posted diabled embedding...so here is one of them singing live on letterman... not as good as the music video but still awesome... check it out.

"Boston"

In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun...
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must've crossed... you said...

You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah,
She said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,

Essential yet appealed, carry all your thoughts across
An open field,
When flowers gaze at you... they're not the only ones who cry
When they see you
You said...

You don't know me, you don't even care, oh yeah,
She said
You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,

She said I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain...
I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice... oh yeah,

Boston... where no one knows my name... yeah
Where no one knows my name...
Where no one knows my name...
Yeah Boston...
Where no one knows my name.
