Music I want to hear right now

So I am sitting here letting Pandora.com set my mood and the tone of my thoughts. Song by song by song playing in the back while I search out the workings of the inter-web when suddenly a song caught my attention. It was "Aint no Reason" by Brett Dennen. Some of the lyrics reached out and grabbed me as if to smack me in the face and say "HEY THINK ABOUT THIS" So I did think about it. I thought a lot about them. I even went and found the lyrics online to make sure I had all the information. I will post them now....

Aint no reason
By: Brett Dennen

There ain't no reasons things are this way
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way
We do it everyday

Preachers on the podiums speaking to saints
Prophets on the sidewalks begging for change
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name

I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
You can spend your whole life working for something
Just to have it taken away

People walk around pushing back their desks
Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets
Talking 'bout nothing, not thinking about death
Every little heart beat, every little breath

People walk a tight rope on a razor's edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pin
Or a thought or a word or a sentence

There ain't no reasons things are this way
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
I don't know why I say the things I say,
But I say them anyway

But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free
I do believe
Love will come set me free
I know it will
Love will come set me free
Yes

Prison walls still standing tall
Some things never change at all
Keep on building prisons,
Gonna fill them all
Keep on building bombs
Gonna drop them all

Working your fingers bare to the bone
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul
Like a lung is filled with coal,
Suffocating slow

The wind blows wild and I may move
But politicians lie and I am not fooled
You don't need no reason or a 3 piece suit
To argue the truth

The air on my skin and the world under my toes
Labor is stitched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
Love, I try to follow

But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free
I do believe
Love will come set me free
I know it will
Love will come set me free
Yes

There ain't no reasons things are this way
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way
We do it everyday

So there it is. This is where my head is. Somewhere in a cloud of thought that is this song. After much deliberation I have decided this song means a lot to me and after careful review of the lyrics I have realized that it probably means something different to me than it did to Brett when he wrote it. The fact that the sender and the receiver might have completely separate concepts was another major mind blower of the night that I didn't even want to get into until I started writing this blog and realized, the meaning of this song might mean something different to me than the artist and even far more different to you the reader. So that's it. I guess my point is... I really like music.
