it's the heart that really matters in the end

Like I needed any more reasons to love Rob Thomas... sigh... and... like I needed any more reasons to like what PBS does... we stayed up late last night to enjoy a series I had only heard about but never taken the time to watch... Soundstage. The reason was none other than one of my very favorites - Matchbox 20 - was the focus. Every minute was worth it. Every minute was also commercial free :) Austin City Limits that followed was also pretty good. My guess is some of my snobby music friends (YES you KNOW who you are) would enjoy both shows. Take a quick peek at the website and you'll see what you missed.

Then... if you haven't seen Meet the Robinsons yet, take the time to snuggle up with a little one and watch it. A super touching movie... with... em em... a fantastic soundtrack... featuring none other than... (can you guess?) Rob Thomas! Woot!

let it go,
let it roll right off your shoulder
don't you know
the hardest part is over
let it in,
let your clarity define you
in the end
we will only just remember how it feels

our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain

let it slide,
let your troubles fall behind you
let it shine
until you feel it all around you
and i don't mind
if it's me you need to turn to
we'll get by,
it's the heart that really matters in the end

our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain

all of my regret
will wash away some how
but i can not forget
the way i feel right now

in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away but these small hours
these small hours, still remain,
still remain
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these little wonders still remain

Oh yeah... and one other thing... this same show? The PBS Show, Soundstage? It also hosted John Mayer way back when.. with special guest Buddy Guy. I can't think of ANYONE I know who likes those two ;) WOOT!

Even when you are down...

The best part about Matchbox 20 is they write upbeat tunes to sad lyrics. Rob Thomas told the audience at the live show in March in Phoenix, if you are mad, or upset, why do you need the music to do that to you too? Let the lyrics say what you want to - but let the music uplift you.

Perfect for today!

Everywhere someone's getting over
Everybody cries
And sometimes you can still lose
even if you really try
Talking about the dream
Like the dream is over
Talk like that
Won't get you nowhere
Everybody's trusting in the heart
Like the heart don't lie

And that's all that I need, yeah
Someone else to cling to, yeah
Someone I can lean on
Until I don't need to
Just stay all through the night
In the morning let me down
Cause that's all that I need right now

Everywhere someone's getting over
Everybodys life is someone
People still use other people
with a crooked smile
And all around the world
there's a sinking feeling
Out there right now someone's feeling
Down on themselves and don't know why
Every night

And that's all that I need, yeah
Someone else to cling to, yeah
Someone I can lean on
Until I don't need to
Just stay all through the night, yeah
In the morning let me down
Cause that's all that I need right now

And life ain't no beauty show
We don't know where tomorrow ends
And when we're sad
It's kind of a drag

Just stay all through the night
In the morning let me down
Yeah, cause that's all that I need
Yeah, that's all that I need
Yeah, that's all that I need
That's all that I need right now
Right now
