Current mood:  thoughtful
good day.

i am sitting in bed.  i am listening to music.  i got a new bed.  it is big and wooden and painted black.  i love it.  i love it so much it takes a lot for me to leave it.  my days have consisted of being in the bed and being in the studio.  the record has been coming along wonderfully.  i already had all the songs written before.  and now, we have written all the drum, bass and piano, uke and vocal parts.  next some guitars, strings, horns and other fun instruments.  i am enjoying this process very much.  it is the first time i have had a full album where every song is a chunk from directly inside me (totally autobiographical).  this album is going to be scary to release, and also cathartic.  we all write about love don't we.  but love is the thing.  it is the thing that will always need the most nurturing and attention.  it is the thing that we can taste when it is gone.  it is the thing that makes a smile that can not be unsmiled.  it is the thing that the world beats to.  

so this album will be about love.  and the pain of knowing, in don henly's words,  that sometimes love just ain't enough.  and i know that you know how that goes and goes.

i'm going back to music and bed.  i hope you can enjoy a snowy saturday in this fashion...it is medicinal for the soul.

good day.  again.

"But theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you cant trust
Theres a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just aint enough"

such truth in your words - i've thought about that don henly song many times myself. one day instead of just singing along to a song everyone knows the lyrics to...i really listened. no matter how much i try to unsmile that smile that love gave me... i cant. but still..love just ain't enough.

Don Henley also wrote these very true lyrics;.. .. "I've been tryin' to get down.. to the heart of the matter..But my will gets weak.. and my thoughts seem to scatter..But I think it's about forgiveness..Forgiveness..Even if, even if you don't love me anymore...".... I think the two go hand in hand. Enjoy your new bed, and keep smilin' :)

Ingrid,....I can't wait for your new album. Some of my best songs were written about love or the loss of it. Here is a song I wrote about sharing the love.....http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=50041376

Music + bed + waffle fries = medicine for the soul....I don't have a bed this year because I'm in a transitional (poor) period.. but I can dream. heh.. So waffle fries + music = 3/4 cup medicine for the soul. :)

Love is a good Elvis song. When I find that right girl out there in the universe, I plan on doing nothing else but serenading her with some incredible hunky tunes.....I think the reason we all love love songs as much as we do because it's good to know that someone else feels how we feel. I want to say I believe that love conquers all, but I'd be lying if I said I did.....When I get all existential in my life, one album I've been listening to a lot, and it should be a part of any good New Yorker's collection, is Turnstiles by Billy Joel. The epitome of love, heartache, home sickness, etc. It's a short album, but with NY State of Mind, Prelude/Angry Young Man, and my favorite... James.....Check out this version... so awesome.....-dmoneymania.com....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4ItvLzVp_8

Can't believe that album nr. 3 is already in the works... I was kind of surprised that Girls&Boys was released here in Germany and not Be OK - I wonder how long we'd have to wait for the new one...Promise to come back to Germany soon?

Be Ok was released in stores in the US because my boyfriend bought it for me for Christmas. It is a wonderful CD and if you get a chance to buy it or download it, you should.

I love that song, too!! "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" was actually co-written with Patty Smyth by one of my friends, a guy named Glen Burtnik. I guess Don Henley just sang it. But sing it well he did. Can't wait to hear your new stuff, you are the best, so unique and so refreshing.

Hey, I just woke up from a long nap with my boy and husband. If sharing the covers with two guys that snore isn't love, I don't know what love is. Enjoy your bed! ~Hockeyson

Ahh, Bon Iver - I find myself always skipping ahead to "For Emma" with stops at "Flume" and "Skinny Love". Ingrid, perhaps you, too, should get away to Wisconsin to write. (I know, you were here just last November.) Can't wait to hear your insights into love.

"but love is the thing. it is the thing that will always need the most nurturing and attention. it is the thing that we can taste when it is gone. it is the thing that makes a smile that can not be unsmiled. it is the thing that the world beats to."....That was wonderful. Especially about tasting love when it is gone. It's so true. Humans constantly thirst for love and when it's gone, they want more. Love is an insatiable urge I do believe.

Love drives most everything creative from my soul to others eyes/ears. I think your description of the emotion and things that go along with it is spot on.....For example, I love your music. I love it with all my heart and soul. I love it like a brother loves a sister, like a mother to a child. To me it is so strange to love something that has no physical body. No spirit of it's own. All soul and spirit come from you...which is an amazing thout in it's own right.....Thank-you for making me feel...love,pain,sadness,joy. Especially today, your words strike me down into this chair in which I sit and compel me to stare at the pond across my back yard and contemplate deep and meaningful things.....Wow, I feel all deep today! Thanks!

Your song BE OK has been my life savor through this 10 yr break up. I loved too much. I miss the love but i will be ok. Sometimes love just aint enough
