It is going to be a night of heart-felt indie folk with Blind Pilot and The Low Anthem taking the Black Cat stage Wednesday, this week (tomorrow). You know when you sometimes really need one of those? Just some good people (who may or may not tour on bycicles) playing some good music, that goes straight for the heartstrings. No pretense, no nothing?
Well, if that is the case, today is your lucky day because we have 2 pairs of tickets to give away to the show and one of those pairs can be yours.
To do: leave a comment with a heart-felt softly spoken song in it and you can win.
Will notify the winners VERY SOON (the show is tomorrow after all)

To that girl: you know who you are. What I wanted to say before you got away:
"Today you were far away
and I didn't ask you why
What could I say
I was far away
You just walked away
and I just watched you
What could I say"
("About Today" by The National)
"I will follow you into the dark" is a classic soft-spoken song:

I know your scared that I'll soon be over it
That's part of it all
Part of the beauty of falling in love with you
Is the fear you won't fall
It hasn't felt like this before
It hasn't felt like home before you
I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel this way
And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you

"The Fear You Won't Fall"
I forgot to include that
"He's a hobble with the wobble at the gang rape,
Cover it with gas & set it on fire."
-- Dean & Gene Ween
I'm not a monster I believe
like a liar would believe
helps me navigate the wooden smiles, the raging sea
all my heroes pull their heads
like a fighter would I guess
no one ever really likes getting older
angel you sing about beautiful things
and all I want to do is believe
but I traded my dreams for this mess of memories
and they just stopped working for me
"Angel" by Matt Nathanson
you kinda have to hear it to understand it,
youtube!
Baby baby baby bitch
Fcuk you you stinkin ass ho
Most beauty I've seen
You come from a dream
But I can't close my eyes anymore
Gene and Dean got so many.
"Orange Sky" by Alexi Murdoch is a great one.
"My salvation lies in your love."
I wanna see it when you get stoned on a cloudy breezy desert afternoon -built to spill
"Baby Let Me Follow You Down"
