I figured it was about time I invited other people to participate around here, so I decided to ask a little question:
What are some of your favorite single lines from songs, and why?
I’ll start us off with a couple:
“I’m only faking, when I get it right.” – I’ve always liked this line because as a self-taught man there’s a lot of moments where you’re pretty sure you have no idea what you’re doing, but it seems to work out alright in the end.
“No need for tomorrow when you can’t find today.” – This is a song I’ve been listening to more recently… As the biggest dreamer in the world it took me a while to figure out that if I don’t actively participate in what’s going on in my world today, I’ll never reach those dreams. As it turns out, dreams take hard work.
“The only thing I’ll ever ask of you, you’ve got to promise not to stop when I say when.” – This one always makes me think of Ann. Just like the aforementioned dreams, marriage is a tough job. There are gonna be times when it doesn’t seem like it’s worth it, and you just want to throw in the towel. I’m lucky enough to have a woman that won’t let me quit.
BTW, if you don’t know the above songs – email me and I’ll send you something to listen to…

“How much will they take before I’m empty?” – The song is about finding your worth in places that matter and not letting other people (or your perception of how they’ll perceive things) decide how you’ll live. I found a lot of freedom in those words.
