Living on Leftovers
My freezer is stocked just now and I'm short on time. Thus, I'm not cooking terribly much just now...but here's some inspiration for getting back into the kitchen as the weather changes and the dark comes earlier. Reading the written words doesn't nearly do the song justice, but conveys a certain lesser beauty. I highly recommend clicking on the title below and scrolling down to listen on-line.
cold hungry blues
(lyrics by a. russell, performed by po' girl on their eponymous album)
ch: i cooked all night, i cooked all day,
driving the cold hungry blues away
mmmm-mm, i got em on the run
weaving a weary melody of everyday humdrum
as the night draws in the shadows grow long
my mind's released, my fancy's freed
my senses revel in the cycle of the song
ch
it's all been done, but we do it again
building a dream bridge on an ancient foundation
there's beauty in the resonance, truth in repetition
we are what's come before, we are what will be, right now we do
ch
a night wind's wuthering, ice licks the ground
i've got salt stains on my boots from the long walk downtown
the music of the motion lulls my winter jaded soul
and the seventh veil drops, the spiral spins whole
and i know, i know the beauty in the resonance
i know the truth in repetition, we are what's come before
and we are what will be and right now, right now we do
i cooked all night, i cooked all day
and i drove those cold hungry blues away
but they'll be back again, they'll be back again
amen
amen
