Sunday's Songbird ... Damn Love Song

Amy LaVere in the house!

The boys and I went to a free concert of hers on Tuesday night at this old men's club turned swanky restaurant/billiards/theater/hotel club. Couches, big cushy chairs, candlelight. We had a great time. Owen, the sweet gentleman that he is, grabbed my hand and asked for a dance <3
Sweet memories to last a lifetime.

 It was difficult to pick which song I wanted to highlight, again (isn't it always) ... this one just seems fitting for today. A little dark. A little gloomy. A little real. I've been writing a lot more lately (poetry mostly, both here on the blog, as well as in an actual notebook ... *gasp, unheard of). It's always been so much easier for me to write out of pain; to write in and through struggle. I don't so much write happy happy lovey shit, and I don't really know why. It is what it is. Before Amy played this song on Tuesday she prefaced it by saying something like "I don't write love songs, but this was my one attempt at it". Seems fitting for me; in more ways then one ...





Damn Love Song ~Amy LaVere
right now
i'll do it right now
ah, here's your damn love song
and don't it say, don't it say it all


oh please
i'll never get down on my knees
you know I'm too proud
and you should know, know how I feel by now


we're crazy it seems
we're so misunderstood
we're crazy to please
we treat each other like we're fools
is it any good


right now
i'll do it right now
ah, here's your damn love song
and don't it say, don't it say it all


oh please
you never got down on your knees
you never said it to me
i just wanted, wanted to believe


we're crazy it seems
we're so misunderstood
we're crazy to please
we treat each other like we're fools
is it any good


this love song
that you wanted so bad
if you play it
does it make you feel sad
this love song
you can turn it on
you can turn it up
you can turn it real loud when I'm gone


right now
i'll do it right now
ah, here's your damn love song
and don't it say, don't it say it all


we're crazy it seems
we're so misunderstood
we're crazy to please
we treat each other like we're fools
is it any good
