Getting the Week Off on a Good Note
(Pun intended.)
I love my Sirius - best Christmas present that I received this year. Between using the receiver in my truck and in the office, I'm listening to more music than I have in a long, long time. The best thing about Sirius is that I am hearing new music all of the time, even if I do listen to the 90s, 80s, and Outlaw Country stations more than any others.
So what do I look forward to most of all? Right now it has to be The Killers' "Read My Mind." This is one of those songs that is like ones from a few years back; when it comes on and you just lose yourself in the song. (That's a good thing - until the officer flashes the blue lights and brings you back to reality. Luckily, I haven't had that happen in a long while.)
To top it all, I learn that one of the versions of the music video (see below) has an Elvis impersonator in it. It's almost too perfect...
No, I have no idea what the heck the green thing is, so don't ask.
Now that you've heard that song a few times, get out there and take on the work week! Millions of people stealing from Social Security Disability are depending on you!
UPDATE: Here are the lyrics for "Read My Mind":
On the corner of main street
Just tryin' to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I'm falling behind
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
I never really gave up on
Breakin' out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
The good old days, the honest man;
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees;
A broken wrist and a big trapeze
Oh well I don't mind, you don't mind
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?
It’s funny how you just break down
Waitin' on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soakin' my spine
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
The teenage queen, the loaded gun;
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, a world unseen;
A city wall and a trampoline
Oh well I don't mind, you don't mind
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go
Tell me what you find when you read my mind
Slippin’ in my faith until I fall
You never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again
She said
Oh well I don't mind, you don't mind
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me
The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind
