Day 158: When My Time Comes


A long drive is always better when it's accompanied by music. And when you're accompanied by good friends. Usually when I do the drive between Fort Myers and Boca I am alone, which can get a little lonely. But the music helps. I'm alone in my car, shouting the lyrics to my favorite songs at the top of my lungs. And suddenly you're not alone anymore.

AJ needed to pick his car up from Fort Lauderdale, so I took him on my way to Boca. Matt tagged along for the ride. We lost our voices and our shame.

Kinetic or magnetic
We are energy drawn
To the idea of one another
And now we leave with the dawn

Song: I've been forced to do something I've never had to do up until this point: instead of giving a link to audio, I have to put a youtube video here. That's because the best (and in my opinion, the only version of this song isn't on any album or other recording. All that exists is this video. Dawes is a great up and coming band, fusing folk with indie rock and sounding completely authentic in the process. And their live version of "When My Time Comes" is quickly becoming one of my favorite songs. It's easily one of the best live performances I've heard of any song, ever, and the studio version doesn't do it justice. Watch it here.
