And, may all weirdos always land a complementary life weirdo this hard.

Billy Joel - Turn the Lights Back On (Official Video)

"I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images,
And when we kiss they're perfectly aligned.

And I have to speculate
That God himself did make
Us into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay."

I got chills again you guys.

My stupid kid still doesn't appreciate that he totally met this guy in our kitchen.

Stupid fucking kid.

@hotdogsladies when your uncle is practically the mayor of the Seattle indie music scene I can see how this might seem like not a huge deal. And that’s also worth celebrating
@hotdogsladies and yes, I am unofficially referring to Roderick as their uncle

@miketaffet

Make no mistake, Mike.

The appreciation will come, and the repeated apologies to dad shall ensue.

"I wondered, and I guessed, and I tried.
You just knew.

I sighed.
But, you swooned.

I saw the crescent.
But, you saw the whole of the moon."

@hotdogsladies Definitely one of the great songs.
@hotdogsladies The choice of the bass laying out until 1:30 is really an amazing bit of buildup.

@stoneymonster

Exactly! It's like WHOA,

And then The Big Heartbreaking Walkdown?!

Jeez Louise.

@hotdogsladies I’ve had this song in my head every day since Kurt Wallinger’s passing.
@hotdogsladies Another fond memory inducer. The 80s, US Navy, the Philippines, sitting on a beach near sundown listening to this song on my Walkman, and thinking ‘how the fuck did I get here?’.
@hotdogsladies I dated a woman who was a teenager in the eighties, and this song is on the playlist of things I got mad she didn’t tell me about. (Also The Jam)

Still no YT embed.

Check the edits to see how I tried.

I always try so hard.

@hotdogsladies Such a terrific song, and terrific album.

You're familiar with the Iron and Wine cover?

@hotdogsladies Did you recommend “BOY” a long time ago? I forget how I came across it.

I think you might like the 2011 original or this acoustic version of “Little Numbers” 🎸☎️☺️
