Oh, music...

I love band. I love to play my instruments, to make music with a group of good friends. I love to listen to it, too... I love to close my eyes and breathe in the music, to make it flow in my bloodstream... I understand the glory of guitar... I'm bound by only four strings to this world (hey, I'd say six, but I'm a bass player, and I like classic things... don't need no fancy 5-string...)

For today, the song "Acrobat" by U2.

Don't believe what you hearDon't believe what you seeIf you just close your eyesYou can feel the enemyWhen I first met you girlYou had fire in your soulWhat happened your face of melting in snow?Now it looks like thisAnd you can swallowOr you can spitYou can throw it upOr choke on itAnd you can dreamSo dream out loudYou know that your time is coming 'roundSo don't let the bastards grind you downNo, nothing makes senseNothing seems to fitI know you'd hit outIf you only knew who to hitAnd I'd join the movementIf there was one I could believe inYeah I'd break bread and wineIf there was a church I could receive in'Cause I need it nowTo take the cupTo fill it upTo drink it slowI can't let you goI must be an acrobatTo talk like thisAnd act like thatAnd you can dreamSo dream out loudAnd don't let the bastards grind you downOh, it hurts babyWhat are we going to do? Now it's all been saidNo new ideas in the house and every book has been readAnd I must be an acrobatTo talk like thisAnd act like thatAnd you can dreamSo dream out loudAnd you can findYour own way outAnd you can buildAnd I can willAnd you can callI can't wait untilYou can stashAnd you can seizeResponsibilitiesAnd I can loveAnd I can loveAnd I know that the tide is turning 'roundSo don't let the bastards grind you down
