shadow on the wall by brandi carlile - just another one of my fav songs

Originally uploaded by Jessica Higgins

Gone
It's hard for me to see when I'm wrong
It's hard for me to weep when I'm strong
But I could never sleep when you're gone
Oh but still
If you were gonna crucify me
I wouldn't want nobody to see
'Cause you could kick me hard when I'm down
Down, down, down

I don't want wanna be
Nobody's fool
I've played that part so many times before
How I long to be
A shadow on the wall
I will make no sound at all
And when the sun goes down
The shadow on the wall
It cannot be seen at all
At all

Over it
Hey it's not that you would mess with my head
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
I believe that you believe what you said
You think you know me best and you care

But that's not fair!
'Cause I don't really want to be safe
It must have been the way I was raised
Sleep with one eye open I say
Hey hey hey

I don't wanna be
Nobody's fool
I've played that part so many times before
How I long to be
A shadow on the wall
I will make no sound at all
And when the sun goes down
The shadow on the wall
It cannot be seen at all
At all

Oh
How I long to be
A shadow on the wall
I would make no sound at all
At all

anyway, it’s a lot of fun. you can change the film/lens to achieve different “lomo” ish looks – i mean, i suppose you could always edit your photos to look like this in photoshop, but this is a lot more fun. and a great way to use up itunes gift cards!

Still, though, very nice. I actually ::gasped:: - grabbed my camera ..saying things like "oh my gawd"...and" wow, this is so beautiful".
It's very empowering to drive through the mountains sans, well, anyone else. Jumping right into the cliche of so many before me, the magella really is a time of personal transformation.

jill sobule
Originally uploaded by JessAndTheCity

Dear Diary,

I met one of the most interesting people i've encountered in quite some time the other night at the basement in nashville, TN. ( music city!) her name is jill sobule and i have been thinking about her ever since. she was so accepting of her art and of her eccentricity. she was just the breath of fresh air i needed. \
My advice is that you should check her out, if you get the chance! I will definitely see her again, hopefully SOON! (and hopefully with mckeown, bc she makes any situation better x10.)
ok, back to Jill.
One of the things i like MOST about Jill Sobule, is her willingness to communicate with her fans over the internet. Even if she is only faking the whole being 'friends' thing, she is doing a pretty good job. I'm not sure, tho, that you can fake that kind of thing completely. Tila Tequila is someone who is REALLY good at , well, basically charming people over the internet for her own profit / gain. The internet fascinates me bc it is a whole new realm of communication. our ideas are electric. it's crazy. i need to stop thinking about the internet (don't get me started) and just go watch the roseanne halloween marathon.
love, jessica.

i think this is really MIGHT be her hit, bc i cannot get this song out of my head!!! Especially when she says : " YOu can keep your ring and i'll keep my daddy's name!"
i mean, how great is that? total single gals ballad!

I haven't mentioned much about the brandi carlile concerts i've attended as of late. Perhaps because there is one more on the slate OR because a lof of times of update from my phone..and it isnt easy to type. Brandi's shows are very moving..i suggest checking her out!

At first it was just a way to keep my always moving mind busy, but after about three weddings, I realized "tagging" tattoos was a lot more significant than just a way to pass the time. Now I look fwd to seeing who will be tattoo'd with what and figuring out what it all means, not unlike solving those cryptic vanity liscence plates.
