The irony of staying in it, and trying to make it work, even when you know you’re swimming upstream. Sometimes we’re drawn to a challenge, even if we know it’s doomed.
We’re cut adrift
We’re still floating
I’m only hanging on
To watch you go down
My love
The irony of someone thinking maybe they don’t belong there, and so they don’t.
The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass right through you like a ghost
They look for you, but your spirit is in the air
Baby, you’re nowhere
Another great U2 cover by Transient.
To me, he was just Dad, although Iβm sure he had his own whole thing going on too. π I was so very lucky to have him. π #father #fatherhood #dad via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CrYgrrOux_-/






Lucas Nelson has an amazing way of writing a song about one thing and then sneaking in a little mini-anthem about something else right in the middle. The mini-anthem hammers home the original point with an underlying truth.
It’s his jab-jab-jab-uppercut of songwriting. π₯
On Find Yourself, Lucas rambles for a while about an unsatisfying relationship. Then the tone of the song briefly changes, and the mini-anthem bursts in.
I know the love that I deserve.
That’s the underlying truth to the rest of the song. It’s so beautiful and simple, it almost brings me to tears every time.
This song has some special meaning to me since I first heard it with a small but enthusiastic crowd at Lucy’s Friend Chicken in South Austin. Lucas Nelson sang it from the top of a picnic table as part of an unofficial SXSW performance. It sounded great, even without Lady Gaga. π
π Bonus: can you find the mini-anthem in Turn Off The News (Build A Garden)?
This little truck was trying to cross Bouldin Creek at its shallowest point, just downstream from Alpine Pond. I think it was on the way to South Congress for coffee. βοΈπ€·π»ββοΈ #toytruck #toy #river #austin #texas #atx #shotoniphone via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/Cq5bBsIugCJ/
