Great Lake Swimmers - River's Edge


I *just* found this on YouTube.
Tony Dekker's voice conveys both calm and urgency, a seriousness and understanding.  The video, directed by Nir Ben Jacob is incredible in its artistry.

Nada Surf - Do It Again

Desperation aloft




Well I'd snap to attention if I thought that you knew the way
I'd open my mouth if I had something smart to say
I bought a stack of books, I didn't read a thing
It's like I'm sitting here, waiting for birds/frogs to sing

Let's do it again
Come, on come on, let's do it again
Please, please, let's do it again
Come on, come on, let's do it again

The hum of the clock is a far away place
the azalea air holding your face
you're lying down and the moon is sideways
(the hearts of the cold, it never gets old)
I spend all my energy staying Alive
And I like the masking noise quiet of your breathing me nearby

come on, come on, let's do it again
please, please, let's do it again
come on, come on, let's do it again

I want you lazy science
I want some Peace
are you the future?
show me the keys

I spend all my energy walking up right
And I like the masking noise quiet of your breathing me nearby
when I accelerate I remember why it's good to be alive
like a 25 cent Gain

Maybe this weight was a gift
like I had to see what I could lift
