you & me.

this song makes me very happy.
very, very happy.
and happy is very important right now.

want to pack your bags

something small

take what you need

and we'll disappear without a trace

we'll be gone gone

moon and the stars will follow the car

then when we get to the ocean

gonna take a boat to the end of the world

all the way to the end of the world

oh and when the kids are old enough

we're gonna teach them to fly

you & me together
we can do anything baby
you & me together yes yes
the two of us together
we can do anything baby
you & me together yes yes

you & i we're not tied to the ground
not falling but rising
like rolling around
eyes closed above the rooftops
eyes closed
we're gonna spin through the stars
our arms wide as the sky
we're gonna ride the blue all the way to the end of the world
all the way to the end of the world
oh and when the kids are old enough
we're gonna teach the to fly

you & me together
we can do anything baby

you & me together yes yes
the two of us together
we can do anything baby
you & me together yes yes

we can always look back at what we did
always the memory of you & me baby
but right now it's you & me forever girl
you know we can do better than anything that we did
you know that you & me we can do anything

you & me together
we can do anything baby
you & me together yes yes
the two of us
together...

enjoy the video - it's from the 2007 show. adam & i had 8th row seats. pretty awesome. i'll apologize now for the quality. it's hard to take video with a digicam, dance & drink beer all at the same time. the guys in front of us also made it difficult for me, but at least you'll get some amusement out of seeing their arms pop up throughout the video {and thank goodness i'm not singing along either...trust me, my voice makes nails on a chalkboard sound lovely}.

i'm alive

this song warms my ♥.

not only because it's two of my faves singing a duet - kenny chesney & dave matthews - but because it's a very meaningful song. especially for me right now. of course, i'm not quite at the point where i can actually breathe a sigh of relief, but still. i'm slowly getting there {i really am trying to learn how to just "let go"}. i just feel that it pretty much sums up the feelings swirling inside of me - especially the verse that is in bold {see below}.

So damn easy to say that life's so hard
Everybody's got their share of battle scars
As for me I'd like to thank my lucky stars that
I'm alive and well

It'd be easy to add up all the pain
And all the dreams you've sat and watch go up in flames
Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain
But not me... I'm alive

And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm alive and well
I'm alive and well

Stars are dancin' on the water here tonight
It's good for the soul when there's not a soul in sight
But this boat has caught its wind and brought me back to life
Now I'm alive and well

And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
Now I'm alive and well
Yeah I'm alive and well

Two Step

Celebrate we will

Because life is short but sweet for certain

We're climbing two by two

To be sure these days continue

These things we cannot change

{R.I.P. Roi}

Can anyone guess where I'll be tomorrow night?

Summer just wouldn't be summer without some Dave Matthews Band. I haven't missed a summer show in many, many years. It's always nice when the boys come back to Virginia & jam. Friday evening cannot come fast enough.

{the pics are some of my own from the 2007 show...my pics from last year's show aren't as 'nice' and I'll just blame that on the wine}

I'd Dance A Thousand Steps For You

Did you watch the LIVE Dave Matthews Band concert last night on Fuse?

If you didn't, you're in luck because I have it right here (thanks, Hulu!):

Dave & the boys jammed for nearly THREE HOURS! It was awesome to watch & it made me look forward to seeing them in concert this August (I think I've seen a DMB show every summer since 1998). And, this afternoon, I went out and bought this little gem:

I cannot wait to listen to this CD.

It gives me great pleasure to share my excitement with the world...

The picture is courtesy of MOI...8th row orchestra seats are N-I-C-E!

Dave & the boys (minus Roi..*sniffle*) are headed back to the amphitheater. I cannot contain my excitement...well, I can...squeals of delight just wouldn't be appropriate right now. I haven't missed a DMB show in years. Yes, years. At least not the yearly Virginia Beach show.

And, to add to the excitement, Donovan Frankenreiter is opening for Dave Matthews Band. I love Donovan...I haven't had the chance to see him live, but I do enjoy his music...very much. This is so exciting!

Now, the fun part.........getting my grubby paws on some tickets come March 13th. :)
