This time I've got no hesitation and I'll be movin' on to where I belong

Artist- Nickel Creek
Song of the day- Destination

I tend to find it difficult to live in the moment, always looking for my next destination, having 100% believed when I was told nothing is permanent. And as I've been setting up my new place I've been singing today's song as my empowerment march. Sure I'm scared about choosing this destination, but resolved in moving forward by staying still for a while. After all, there ain't no time for hesitation one nothing is permanent. If you're making a destination, scream this chorus out of tune with me while some real musicians push us forward.



You don't owe me
one more minute of your wasted time
you act like it's all fine

but all the years I gave you
thinking you knew that you wanted me
I wanted to believe

I've gotta make a destination
find where I'll be loved
This time I've got no hesitation
and I'll be movin' on
(to where I belong)
and I'll be movin' on

I'm tired of trying
to describe what you will never see
how that we could be

gave up and lost her
now you're looking for a little grace
well look at my face

I've gotta make a destination
find where I'll be loved
This time I've got no hesitation
and I'll be movin' on
(to where I belong)
and I'll be movin' on

empty corner gotta keep movin'
taking hits while you've been missing
night after night after I hear you

say we're solid
but I know we're looking through the cracks
in our little patch

it isn't hard to leave
knowing that I'll be getting life on track
never looking back

I've gotta make a destination
find where I'll be loved
This time I've got no hesitation
and I'll be movin' on
(to where I belong)
and I'll be movin' on
(find where I'll be loved)
I'm already gone

I'll be the other hand that always holds the line Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine I'm strung out on that wire

Song of the day- When you come back down

Perhaps my most favorite goodbye song of all time is from one of my most favorite now broken up groups of all time, the very blue grassy nickel creek. It's sad but sweet with just the right amount of hot mandolin playing and heavenly harmonies that make me miss the band and pretty much everyone i've had to say goodbye to. The one's that stay in your heart even after they're gone, the ones you've hugged and partied with in the good times and cried with even over the phone in the bad times. The ones you know you will always be there for in the ups and downs. To the goodbyes you never let go of in your heart, this one is for you.



You got to leave me now, you got to go alone
You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own
Before it slips away
When you're flyin' high, take my heart along
I'll be the harmony to every lonely song
That you learn to play

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

I'll keep lookin' up, awaitin' your return
My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn
And I won't feel your fire
I'll be the other hand that always holds the line
Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine
I'm strung out on that wire

And I'll be on the other end, To hear you when you call
Angel, you were born to fly, If you get too high
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll catch you when you fall

[Bridge:]
Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel, let me help you with your wings

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare

I'll still be there
When you come back down
Take every chance you dare,
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

We get distracted by the dreams of our own But nobody's happy while feeling alone

Artist- Nickel Creek
Song of the day- Reasons Why

As I was sitting in the park today this guy who looked like your average outdoors guy in shorts, a backpack and juice bottle, sat down next to me and asked me what there was to do in Chicago during the day. I answered with no brilliant ideas he hadn't heard before, though he didn't seem to even care about what I said as he dove into his recent life predicament of dying on a hospital table, suing the hospital, being at odds with his family, losing his job and looking for a place to live. I didn't really understand most of it but kept asking questions cuz he seemed like he wanted to talk about it. He had been traveling for the last month to Europe and Asia and various beaches. He told me how he wasted so much time on his career and after almost or I guess dying he just wanted to do what made him happy, what he did on the few days of vacation he had, travel and surf. As we talked I couldn't get over how lost and lonely he seemed. He didn't know what he'd do next, what would happen, but right now he just traveled, asked people of things to do. It was sad and kind of a respectable thing to hear. It reminded me of this song, of how so many of us are just roaming, stumbling through countless mistakes in search for something worth living for. I thought about telling him what I found, what I live for, and maybe I should have, but as I watched him walk down the lake alone passing people and families laughing and playing in the water I hoped what he was looking for would find him. My hope is the same for you today and everyday.


Nickel Creek - Reasons Why
Uploaded by EMI_Music. - See the latest featured music videos.

Where am I today, I wish that I knew
'Cause looking around there's no sign of you
I don't remember one jump or one leap
Just quiet steps away from your lead

I'm holding my heart out but clutching it too
Feeling this sort of a love that we once knew
I'm calling this home when it's not even close
Playing the role with nerves left exposed

Standing on a darkened stage
Stumbling through the lines
Others have excuses
But I have my reasons why

We get distracted by the dreams of our own
But nobody's happy while feeling alone
And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall
We lean another ladder against the wrong wall

And climb high to the highest rung
To shake fists at the sky
While others have excuses
I have my reasons why

With so much deception
It's hard not to wander away
It's hard not to wander away
It's hard not to wander away
