I DON"T EVEN KNOW MYSELF
..>

Sounds LikeDON'T WHISPER
The end of all is crashing
I'm buried beneath this load
Beneath this load
I wanna buy a gun and shoot the neighbor
Trouble is, no one's home
If I could catch my breath, I'd breathe
If I had traveling clothes, I'd leave
Man, I'd leave
I need that shrink, pull the plug
Maybe someday, he will come
Please don't whisper
Or else I'll just die
Scream until the windows crack
And I'll love you again
I set my sights too high
I stumbled and I fell, asking why
Running in my sleep, my eyes won't blink
Turn the last few corners, wave goodbye
I take a bus back home
I sit in County Jail by the phone
" Think the call's for you, mister."
Couldn't hear a word you said,
"Please don't whisper".
Please don't whisper
Or else I'll just die
Scream until the windows crack
And I'll love you again

PULL THE CURTAIN

It's not just these few words
I' m like a willow bending low
It's not just these few hours
Before it's time to go

Pull the curtain
Pull the curtain
Pull it slow

Time up on this altar
Seems like minutes in a row
Seems like every time we falter
We have all our dreams in tow

Pull the curtain
Pull the curtain
Pull it slow

Were I the faithful servant
Who ran the household so
The master found me pleasing
When he returns, behold

Pull the curtain
Pull the curtain
Pull it slow

Will he come unexpected
In an hour I do not know?
Will he cut me into pieces ?
Will he bring me in the fold?

Pull the curtain
Pull the curtain
Pull it slow

For me they'll stop their weeping
Because they see the glow
For me they'll raise the standards
So let the trumpets blow

Pull the curtain
Pull the curtain
Pull it slow

FOLLOWING A RIVER

Hand me down and hand me down and hand me down my fate
Once I believed in the ever after
Don't believe so much today
It's a finer line I crossed this time
It's humid out this way
And there's a red sun sinking in the river
And it's the evening of the day

Photograph of my little dear one
Lost in the fading light
Sending out her love to me tonight

I'm following a river, baby
Following a river to the sea
I'm following a river, baby
Following a river to the sea

Hand me down and hand me down and hand me down my mind
I used to find my way around here
But now I'm moving blind
One lonely child when he was young
They never tried to find him
Now there's a red sun sinking in the river
And he walks by the waterline

Photograph of my little dear one
Cold by the firelight
Sending out her love to me tonight

I'm following a river, baby
Following a river to the sea
I'm following a river, baby
Following a river to the sea

Hand me down and hand me down and hand me down my name
As I go farther down this water
These rocks just look the same
There's a blackness in the undertow
Put me in a darker frame
And there's a red sun sinking in the river
Never going to rise again

Photograph of my little dear one
Cold in the moonlight
Sending out her love to me tonight

I'm following a river, baby
Following a river to the sea
I'm following a river, baby
Following a river…

(SOLO VERSE)

Photograph of my little dear one
Cold by the moonlight
Sending out her love to me tonight

I'm following a river, baby
Following a river to the sea
I'm following a river, baby
Following a river…
Watch me

CLOSE CALL

I guess this is how my life will go now
I talk to machines that won't answer somehow
The wonders and worries that come to me now
Guess I just had a close call

No use in me rising I'm left out for dead
The funniest shadows afloat in my head
I rest here a moment or head off to bed
Guess I just had a close call

So goodnight my old friends and lovers
I'll see you in dreams after all
Kinda hung around
Almost touched ground
I guess you could say a close call

I rung up my friend cause I finished a song
It's better than most songs and not half as long
I said come on over but don't take too long
Guess I just had a close call

I pulled down the drapes cause I'm tired of the light
I think the sun's setting I welcome the night
A star doesn't know when its dropped from the sky
Thinks it just had a close call

CHORUS

The cell phone will never stop ringing away
The sound just gets farther and farther away
A knock at my door but my door fades away
I guess I just had a close call

I wonder who writes all the messages down
For all the lost calls that wind their way round
Like veins through the thin air, like wires to the ground
Will somebody take a close call?

CHORUS

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

I am thirsty, give me water (Please, Please, Please)
Life's so hard, make it softer (Please, Please, Please)
I am weary, need sweet rest (Please, Please, Please)
Can I lay down on your mattress? (Please, Please, Please)

I am naked, give me clothing (Please, Please, Please)
I need shelter, rain is pouring (Please, Please, Please)
I am lonely, long forgotten (Please, Please, Please)
Can I lay down? (Please, Please, Please)

I am hungry, I am starving (Please, Please, Please)
I'm a man with no country (Please, Please, Please)
I have traveled with the best (Please, Please, Please)
Can I sit down for a second? (Please, Please, Please)

I need love, can you help me? (Please, Please, Please)
Lost my doubt through the journey (Please, Please, Please)
Ive been to hell and back (Please, Please, Please)
Can I rest now? (Please, Please, Please)

DEATH OF ME: LIFE'S SO HARD MAKE IT SOFTER
Bulletin from Jason:

"Don't Whisper" by Death Of Me

Every now and then a song will jump out and absolutley move you. Well, it's happened to me again recently. "Don't Whisper" by Death Of Me, from their debut album "Life Is Hard, Make It Softer" is my late night Hwy 68 driving home from work soundtrack. I often keep repeating it until I make it home (a 27 mile commute). It's currently posted on the Death Of Me Myspace page (as well as some other gems). If you like what you hear let them know and by all means add them. I'd like to bring them up to Monterey for a gig.

Take Care,
Jason

*************
Comment from acffhmorst:
I have not had a single favorite song in a while, but the studio version of LAST TRAIN really is treating me right lately. I like it as much as I liked Elton John's SOMEONE SAVED MY LIFE TONIGHT when I was in first grade!!

Runner ups at this time are CLOSE CALL and LET IT DROWN reprise.- MORST



DEATH OF ME: LIFE'S SO HARD MAKE IT SOFTER

From Garod:

Life's So Hard(Make it Softer) - Death of Me I am biased, but I know that between Let it Drown and Following a River... this disc belongs in my favorites of the year. What's even more interesting is that in addition to the haunting piano laden version of Let it Drown, you get a knee-slapping jam to the same track later on that illustrates a duality in life that sums up perfectly the album.


From 40 Forever Blog

Life's So Hard Make it Softer by Death of Me: If you like Cracker and John Prine, you'll love Death of Me. You should also check out The Hickman/LeRoy Songbook. (
40 Forever is a cool blog by our favorite librarian)

LYRICS FOR TODAY:

Last Train


Sitting on a train track tryin' to decide
Should I lie back for the rest of the ride?
Cash my ticket to the other side?
Why?

Everybody guessed that I would end this way
Little bit of heaven there' a hell to pay
I can hear the whistle from a mile away
Why?

Hi!
Do you know how to cry?
Blue Sky
Do you know how to cry? Well I…

Started falling early I was just a kid
Monkey on my shoulder in a takeover bid
He always found me so I never hid
Why?

But I remember summer under candy trees
Learning my chords just shooting the breeze
Life can be golden in small degrees
Why?

Hi!
Do you know how to cry?
Blue Sky
Do you know how to cry/ Can you sigh?
Like the last train coming by?

Wish I had a family in a 50's home
Faded brown Buick and some rusted chrome
A rusted dog and a rusted bone
Why?

I remember summer under candy trees
Learning my chords just shooting the breeze
I can feel the crosstie under my knees
Why?


Hi!
Do you know how to cry?
Blue Sky
Do you know how to cry / Can you sigh?
Like the last train coming by?

Life is a good kid trying to be bad
Laughing out loud cause his heart is so sad
He could be the best friend that you ever had

Here's to the summer that never ends
Here's the last quarter I was meaning to spend
Smoke from the engine coming round the bend


Hi!
Do you know how to cry?
Blue Blue Sky
Do you know how to cry/Can you sigh?
Like the last train headed by?

Thanks for the request! Any friend of Cracker's is a friend of mine. Loved what I heard as well! By the way, your band name reminds me of a Mary My Hope song. Remember those guys? Probably not.
Love to you! Meg
