There’s a song for every feeling, someone somewhere has felt what you’re feeling and put it to music. There’s music I reach for when I’m happy, when I’m angry, when I’m weary. This particular song is like a Casey Kasem long distance dedication on the Weekly Top 40 radio show I listened to growing up…
Dear Casey, I’m writing because I have a friend with their soul in shreds, their spirit torn to bits tonight. Can you dedicate Thumb by Dinosaur Jr to my friend? I’m more than a little worried. Send my love. Thanks. Sincerely, Kat in Ashevegas
Thanks, Kat in Ashevegas, here’s some lyrics from Thumb going out to your friend with the torn spirit tonight…Kat sends her love, and thanks for tuning in…
There never really is a good time
There’s always nothing much to say
Pretty good, not doing that fine
Getting up most every day.
Steppin’ out, I tried to fix it
Pulled a thumb out of that hole…
How can you move without a goal?
There never really is a good time…
An excuse is all you’re in for,
The abuse is all you crave.
Sure you know just what is in store…
There’s a time, just let me know now
When it’s with you I’ll be glad
That I was right there just to show you.
At least it’s more than what you had.
There never really is a good time…
(lyrics by Dinosaur Jr)
