Two more things

1. I seem to have figured out how to link. Thank God. Seems that it may be the easiest thing in the world to do next to breathe.

2. Speaking of breathing, The song Breathe (2am) by Anna Nalick is my new favorite song. It makes me sad and happy at the same time and I sing it so loudly in my car that I think the windows pulse and I sound positively Beeeeautiful when I do it.
Here are the words so you can appreciate the song too. No guarantee that they're exactly correct.

Breathe (2am) Anna Nalick

2 Am and she calls me cause I'm still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake
I don't love him and winter just wasn't my season.
Yeah we walk through the doors so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize
Hypocrites you're all here for the very same reason.

Cause you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
and life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button girl
So just cradle your head in your hands.
And breathe, just breathe,
whoa breathe just breathe

May he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist
Ain't been sober since maybe October of last year
Here in town you can tell he's been down for while
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles
Wanna hold him but maybe I'll just sing about it

Cause you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button boys
so cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe,
whoa breath just breathe

There's a light at each end of this tunnel you shout
cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made
You'll just make them again if you'll only try turnin' around

2Am and I'm still awake writing this song
If i get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me
threaten' the life it belongs to.
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary screamin' out loud
And I know that you'll use them however you want to.

But you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand...yeah breath
Just breathe, oohh breathe

She's awesome. Have you seen the video? It's different (in a good way).
I know they have the video at the iTunes store (for free) with a slightly different mix of the song (but you gotta have iTunes installed for it).
