Missing Out / FOMO



Where have all my friends gone?

They've all disappeared
Turned around maybe one day
You were all that was there

Stood by unbelieving
Stood by on my own
Always thought I was someone
Turned out I was wrong
But you
brought me through
And you made me feel so
Blue,
why don't you stay behind,
soBlue,
why don't you stop and look at what's goin' down

Live by an old woman
She'd never sell me a lie
It's hard to sing with someone
Who won't sing with you
Give all of my mercy
Give all of my heart
Never thought I'd miss you
That I'd miss you so much...Jayhawks, "Blue"

Apparently in the Inner Harbour there is a Festival tonight. The Victoria Symphony is playing and there are fireworks.
I am in the building next to the Library doing project work.
By my count there are three of us here this weekend. Everyone else is gone - hence the song above.(Plus I wanted to use the word "hence". It's been a while) You don't miss people you don't care about. I miss everybody. I miss the people I usually miss, and I miss the ones I have only recently come to miss.
This is rough.
There better be a big prize somewhere at the end of this yellow brick road or me and the the Scarecrow are gonna have words.

Jayhawks: Blue



11 years later and I still dig this song.


"Thought I was someone, turned out I was wrong..."
Not all maudlin, just dig that line.

what i said was "tru dat" and then hit the delete button.
Probably a good idea upon reflection.
i figured for sure I would get a comment on the jayhawks, like "hootie and the blowfish called... they want their suckiness back" but nothing....

The Jayhawks are great, old-school "no-depression" era alt-country icons.
