better together.

the last time adam & i saw jack johnson in concert was back in 2002 {i was a few months pregnant with aidan}.  however, in just over a week we will see him in concert again.

we are stoked.

mellow, meaningful music.  i'm very much looking forward to a night out with adam.  a night to forget the bad.  a night to cherish the good.  a night to remind us both that we truly are...

better together.

 

There is no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
And no song that I could sing but I can try for your heart
And our dreams and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it’s so hard?

It’s not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving
I’ll tell you one thing, it’s always better when we’re together

It’s always better when we’re together
We’ll look at the stars when we’re together
It’s always better when we’re together
It’s always better when we’re together

And all of these moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they’ll be gone when the morning light sings
Or brings new things for tomorrow night you see
That they’ll be gone too, too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
I’d be under the impression I was somewhere in between
With only two, just me and you, not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be we’ll sit beneath the mango tree now

It’s always better when we’re together
We’re somewhere in between together
Well it’s always better when we’re together
It’s always better when we’re together

I believe in memories they look so pretty when I sleep
And when I wake up you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time
And there is no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We’re better together

My Tunes!

So, I was skimming through the Blogger Buzz the other day and came across another nifty widget that you can add to your blog:

http://buzz.blogger.com/2008/12/ilike-add-soundtrack-to-your-blog.html

After playing around with it a bit...I decided to add some tunes to my blog. It doesn't automatically start playing whenever you open the blog which is a nice feature. I don't know about you, but I really dislike being startled by someone's music when I open a blog or website. I know, I know...I should just keep the volume on the 'puter down or on mute....

Anywho...my only gripe about the feature is that not all of the songs they have are FULL length versions of the song...you get a snippet or maybe a minute's worth of the song. Ew.

Alas, despite it's flaws (it's still in beta mode, I believe) I added some music to my page and named it "My Tunes." Ha ha ha. It's all Jack Johnson with one Jonas Brothers song tossed in for my Malia. She's a big fan and, well, so am I. Those boys are so damn cute.

Can't get enough of this man!

I really like Jack Johnson. I listen to his music as often as I can which - here lately - isn't often enough. There is just something relaxing about his music...it's like I get so calm and so happy all at the same time whenever I'm listening to Jack. I love how music can instantly transform your mood and take you back into your memories into another time, another place...at that's what listening to Jack Johnson does for me.

Without a doubt, I believe "In Between Dreams" is my favorite Jack Johnson album and I'm instantly swept away to the beaches of Playa del Carmen, Mexico with not a worry or care in sight. That's a good thing!

I've seen him in concert ONCE...and I would really like to see him again. Live Jack Johnson is amazing and I'll never forget that night at The Norva with my sister...it was our birthday presents to each other (and I was also about three months preggo with my son...it was THAT long ago).
