Flashback Friday

After a quick flip through my iPod the Flashback Friday song of the day is...

Good Things

by the

BoDeans

Sunlight fall down on the fields

Sunlight fall down over me

Work all day, be all that I can be yeah-heh

Say I can say words only simple

Say I can say words only clear

But, oh, I can feel your heart is beating near. Yeah-heh

Haunted love is all that I feel, when you're passing by

Haunted love is all that I see, it's there in your eyes

And I say

No, no, no, don't pass me over

No, no, no, don't pass me by

See I can see good things for you and I

Yeah, good things for you

Give I can give love and attention

Give I can give all time away

Only to one heart I can give today

Be I can be man full of color

Be I can be man black or white

But only to one heart I can be tonight

Haunted love is all that I feel, when you're passing by

Haunted love is all that I see, it's there in your eyes

And I say

No, no, no, don't pass me over

No, no, no, don't pass me by

See I can see good things for you and I

Yeah, good things for you

Haunted love is all that I see, it's there in your eyes

And I say

No, no, no, don't pass me over

No, no, no, don't pass me by

See I can see good things for you and I

Yeah, good things for you

Circa 1991. Babydoll dresses, flannels and Doc Martens. Mom constantly yelling at me that I dressed like a slob. Me smearing on more black eyeliner and slamming the door. Grunge was getting cool. No 16 year old should like a local classic rock band. One of many more times I would go against the norm. This local band played free concerts at the lake all summer. You know, the place where 16 year olds can go and do 16 year old things while listening to some great local music. Wishing they would notice the 16 year old kids who follow their every move.

17 years, 1 husband, 2 careers, 4 homes in 4 different cities, 7 misfit dogs and 2 kids later, I still love to see them live. These guys put on the most awesome, truly about the music, audience driven show you will ever see.

You know how you hear a song and it immediately brings you to your happy place. This is that song for me.

I hope you can find your happy place today.

Here's a little video (albeit a terrible one, but it was the only one I could find) of the BoDeans doing what they do best.

Happy Friday and dance people, dance!
