You know I'm the changer The rearranger I'm always a stranger

Artist- Cotton Jones
Song of the day- I am the changer

So last night I reverted into my west coast musical fandom, getting to see one of my fav LA bands play. They opened for this most fantastic east coast band Cotton Jones that I might have ignored if it wasn't for my much smarter than me roommate. By 1am everyone was in the midst of a ho-down, but their biggest fan base was a group of the tallest 20something males I had ever seen. One kept screaming "Stranger" during their encore which they didn't play, though the guy walked up to the stage demanding it. I couldn't get over how important the song was to this guy, and how one of the other "tall-ies" refereed to it as "free bird but indie." I still have no idea what that means, and couldn't find any of their songs called "stranger". The closest I could find was this low key number that I am starting to become obsessed with. Minus the fact I feel like I'm in a cabin in the woods at 5 in the morning every time I listen to their music, the words are so sad and lovely. Throughout my life people have often called me an enigma, that they can't quite figure me out, that I won't let people figure me out, and that I can change my spots for every person I meet. Also that I'm a damn jewel...that really has nothing to do with anything but made me happy. Though I would agree that all of these things are true about me for better or worse, I suppose figuring out who you are is what your whole life is about. Or maybe that's just your 20's...if so I better hurry then. But also I think I do know who I am, it just happens to be a whole bunch of different things. So for you out there trying to figure things out or having a hard time with people figuring you out, this one's for all the strangers out there.



Everything has turned around
I was standing by the passing train
Might've coughed in the rain
Dropped a dollar down the gutter drain
Everything has turned around
Been waiting for a little change
When finally it came
I just waited for another
Waited for another

You know I'm the changer
The rearranger
I'm always a stranger
And a liar, got a tongue on fire
I will cut it off
I will cut it off
When I do, I'm gonna let you know
Gonna gonna let you know

Everything has turned around
Now I'm sleeping in a garden bed
Try to clear my head
Sitting waitin' to be fed
'Cause everything has turned around
Two years above the burning grass
Let the hours pass
Always gonna catch the next one
Gonna catch the next one

You know I'm the waiter
The hesitator
I will get to it later
But I'm a liar, got a tongue on fire
I'll cut it off
I'll cut it off
You know I'm the changer
The rearranger
I'm always a stranger
I'm always a stranger
I'm always a stranger
And the liar got a tongue on fire
I'll cut it off
I'll cut it off
When I do, when I do
I'm gonna let you know

Everything's gonna let you know
I'm a liar
Gonna cut it off
You know I'm a changer
The rearranger
I'm always a stranger
You know I'm a waiter
A hesitator
Gonna get to it later
