Bottom of the Barrel

Ryan introduced me to this singer, Amos Lee, via he and Rachel's blog some time ago. I really love his chill upbeat music and unique sound, but this one song of his has kept me going in spite of some definite bummer circumstances lately. Thought I'd post the lyrics for your viewing pleasure, but you should really itunes his music cuz he's great!

"Bottom Of The Barrel"

I keep on livin',
to keep from cryin'.
I keep on dreamin',
to keep from dyin'.
I keep on trying,
I aint gonna stop.

Get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.

We all know someone,
whos always hurtin',
The sun is shinin',
they draw the curtain.
One thing for certain,
the pain aint gonna stop.

You get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.

Cuz i know the grass,
is always greener in someone else's yard.
And the world is so much meaner,
when your heart is hard.

I go out walkin',
in any season.
It could be rainin',
it could be freezin'.
I don't need no reason,
it's just so pleasin'.
And i can't stop.

You get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.

You get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.

Love the words - every time I sit and whine about my problems I am reminded that I could have others problems and all of the sudden mine seem easier to bear. All good things come to those that wait!

Right there with ya babe! As hard as it is, I hope it helps knowing that you're not alone. Someone knew we needed each other during all this!

Love you!
