Bright Eyes, You're gonna be famous.....

[dalthauser]

So, I'm laying down on the floor in my livingroom with CNN on the T.V and the Texas State Radio station playing in the sewing room - and doing a Sukoku puzzle (my idea of multi-tasking) and a song comes on that I'd never heard before. 

I acknowledge in my head that it's got a nice beat and continue with my puzzle. In a bit I stop and am like.... I like this song. 

Little while more - Wow, I REALLY like this song!!. I rise from my prone position (so it must have been an awesome song) - grabbed some scrap paper on the way and went back to the radio. I scribbled some random lyrics as fast as I could before the song ended. 

Gotta find out who sings this.

Daughter called a little later that day. If anyone can help it's her.

Me: I explained the above to her.

Sierra: "That's cool"

Me: "Can you search for the lyrics so I can find out who sings it?"

Sierra: "Uh, okay" - what are the lyrics?"

Me: "Well, they said ' I put down my ballast' "

Sierra: "Hang on"

(time passes)

Sierra: "Can you give me some more to go on?"

Me: "Well, I wrote down 'The Whore of Babylon"

Sierra: (silence)

Me: "and I think I remember Bethlehem being mentioned"

(pregnant pause)

Sierra: "Okaaayy then......, hang on"

(time passes)

Sierra: "I think it's Bright Eyes"

Me: "Is that the band or the song title?"

Sierra: "It's the band's name"

Me: "Have you ever heard of them?"

Sierra: "I think so ..... I think it's an Emo band"

Me: "I dunno..... the song seemed pretty upbeat to me...."

Sierra: "Here - I downloaded a clip - listen"

(song plays faintly into the receiver)

Me: "OMG OMG...That's it! That's it!"

Sierra: "The song is titled Four Seasons"

Me: "Well, that band is going to be famous someday!" 

(hey..... I predicted Eminem's fame.....)

EDIT:  Um, it appears Bright Eyes isn't exactly unfamous - I guess it's just not the type of music I usually listen to.  Also - as it turns out, Four Winds isn't exactly an upbeat song (though the tempo itself is), but I got the CD - and I love the whole thing!.

Hi- I was poking around some of the communities (mostly those that are for the over 40 crowd and found yours. I would like to friend you, but won't until you get a chance to see my profile. You won't see much else as I lock almost all of them. So let me know. We have a few things in common- gardening, environment, alternative energy. Hope to hear from you.

I just read your post in the over 40 community and it said to add you if I wanted- so I did. If you'd like me to unadd you, I will.

Haha - okay. I reply though my email account, so I saw and replied to the first one before seeing this one. Don't you dare unadd me.... :-)

Yay - yes, of course - I'll add youtoo. I only access the internet at work right now, but I'll definately find time to read some of your past entries. You sound very interesting.
