In Bloom, Again

Digging this country version of Nirvana's In Bloom.


Sell the kids for food
Weather changes moods
Spring is here again
Reproductive glands

He’s the one who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means

Don't Know what it means to love someone

We can have some more
Nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit
Tender age in bloom

He’s the one who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means
Don't know what it means to love someone
He’s the one who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means
Don't know what it means to love someone
He’s the one who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he don't know what it means
Don't know what it means to love someone

Compassion

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. Its a relationship between equals. Only when we know our darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.

No Pressure by Ray LaMontagne

I hate to see you breaking down
Hey, no pressure
I hate to watch you fall apart
Hey, no pressure
I want to help you through it all
Hey, no pressure
Hey, no pressure
I want to lift you when you fall
Hey, no pressure
Hey, no pressure

Anything you want your life to mean, it can mean
Anything you want your life to mean, it can mean

This life is full of give and take
Hey, no pressure
Be careful of each step you take
Hey, no pressure
It doesn't matter lose or win
Hey, no pressure
Hey, no pressure
It's all illusion in the end
Hey, no pressure

Anything you want to be, you can be
Anything you want to be, you can be
Anything you want your life to mean, it can mean
Anything you want your life to mean, it can mean

I hate to see you crumbling
Hey, no pressure
You need to know we are your friends
Hey, no pressure
This life is full of give and take
Hey, no pressure
Hey, no pressure
Be careful of the choice you make
Hey, no pressure
Hey, no pressure

Anything you want your life to mean, it can mean
Anything you want your life to mean, it can mean
Anything you want to be, you can be
Anything you want to be, you can be

Hey, no pressure

Bloom

When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.
