Today’s Tuneage: “Ada”

|| By FITSNEWS || Yesterday it was Stevie Wonder‘s “Part-time Lover” stuck in our heads … today it’s “Ada” by Cincinnati, Ohio-based The National (off their 2007 album Boxer).

And yeah … if you’re not swooning over the distinctive baritone stylings of lead singer Matt Berninger, then you’re obviously in need of some serious reeducation when it comes to sex appeal.

Why are we doing “Today’s Tuneage” again?  Eh … good question.

We were down in Charleston, S.C. recently when a friend of ours started humming a song by “The Strokes,” the New York City-based retro rock band we featured on our site years ago.  Apparently he got hip to the band after reading our post – and has since become a big fan.

“You need to bring that back,” our friend said, referring to our on-again, off-again habit of featuring music we like.

Good call …

Is it possible for a republican to not be completely lame? Seriously, did the party form around hopeless dorks finding like minded people to hang with? It would help explain things…

the same could be said about anyone in the two-party system. Red pill or blue one?

No shit! You do have good taste in music.

The Strokes are a fave.

Yeah, I say “fave.” Old dude gotta sling the old slang.

Here is a very unusual song from a not so well known author – I love the lyrics:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4lAtM7nwBw

Still sits the light high,
there beyond the window,
silence waits for a song heard,
in a color crescendo,

what meets my eyes today,
wont see tomorrow,
sand drapes the past
with a beach of sorrow.

Will I learn from my mistakes?
Do I understand them?
Is there an answer waiting with a mind to hand them?

Straight down the golden road,
No heart in a Tin Man,
No king for a thrown,

Thoughts like scattered straw against the wind,
Do I know where im going?
Do I know where I’ve been?

Signs of confusion when Man designed the WORD,
every meaning was different with every ear that heard,

definition and design lye at the center of the soul,
the thoughts of another mind cant fill a question whole,

Onward HERE I AM ALIVE,
if my purpose is to live,
then the journey I’ll survive,

free guilt from a conscience,
another mans answer is the cause,
IN a realm of eternal choices,
every choice is a path to OZ.

Strange king coming down from his mountain,
had a vision of the stars and wrote a book about them,
A curious man stares out the window,
hope in a curious heart,
a song heard with a color crescendo,

Free pain from the body,
Free truth to find no cause,
Behind every idol risen,
is just a mind in a house of OZ.
