You can bet your luck won’t follow me

Artist- Alison Krauss & Union Station
Song of the day- Lucky One

I've been feeling pretty unlucky lately with having the strange ability to have everything in my path break without moving a muscle. You think this would be a pretty sweet super power, but it doesn't stop there, I also have become a wiz at finding the most inconvenient way to fix all these broken things. And though I have been frustrated enough to be forced into therapeutic "angry running" as my friend calls it, at the end of the day I know it's not life shattering and I'm actually very lucky. Mostly I can be this optimistic cuz I get to see my most favorite vocalist tonight aka today's artist so pretty much I can't be annoyed today. But if you are dealing with annoyances or a bout of unluck, this one's for you.



Verse 1
You’re the lucky one so I’ve been told
Free as the wind blowindown the road
Loved by many, hated by none
I’d say you were lucky cause I know what you’ve done
Not a care in the world not a worry in sight
Everything’s going to be all right
Cause you’re the lucky one

Verse 2
You’re the lucky one always havinfun
A jack of all trades a master of none
You look at the world with a smiling eye
And laugh at the devil as his train rolls by
Just give you a song and a one-night stand
And you’ll be looking at a happy man
Cause you’re the lucky one

Chorus
Were you blessed? I guess
By never knowinwhich road you’re choosing
To you the next best thing to playinand winning
Is playinand losin
Verse 3
You’re the lucky one I know that now
Don’t ask you why when where or how
You look at the world through your smilineye
And laugh at the devil as his train rolls by
Just give you a song and a one-night stand
And you’ll be looking at a happy man
Cause you’re the lucky one

Chorus

Verse 4
You’re the lucky one I know that now
Don’t ask you why when where or how
No matter where you’re at is where you’ll be
You can bet your luck won’t follow me
Just give you a song and a one-night stand
And you’ll be looking at a happy man
Cause you’re the lucky one.

And I know this Is just a beautiful illusion A case of the confusion

Song of the day- If I didn't know any better

So I'm not saying today's song is my favorite Krauss song, but I'm not saying it's not. Written by another fantastic artist, Mindy Smith, I can't exactly say why i love it so much but I do. I suppose it has something to do with the hint of sadness it still carries, having a completely confused heart, not knowing what to trust, but Krauss sings it with a hint of a smile behind it all. That smile that carries both fear and intrigue about the unknown, unknown love, unknown future, unknown everything that even when you don't know any better your heart pulls you forward. It's kinda scary and kinda nice at the same time. If you are looking for something scary and nice, today's song is for you.



I turned around
Before I could run
I found you already settled down
In the back of my mind
I know this is just a customary fever
The moon is a deceiver
That will leave you running blind

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin' deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you

Didn't want to
Look in the eyes of the one that
I would be drawn to
I'm a moth lost in a fire
And I know this
Is just a beautiful illusion
A case of the confusion
Between love and desire

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin' deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better

And I'd be in love
When the flame burns out
And finally settles down
You'll forget
I ever came around

Your heart is pullin'
If I didn't know any better
I'd be fallin deeper and deeper it's true
I'd hear it callin'
If I didn't know any better
And I'd be in love with you

I turned around
Before I could run
I found you already settled down
In the back of my mind

They all say it I'll say it too

Song of the day- New Favorite

I had every intention of posting "this one's for the girls" by Martina McBride after my roommate and I were watching the ACM awards and noticed a many 90s country icons attempting to make their comeback. And though there is a special place in my heart for the early 90s country and the few years I decided I liked country music, the embarrassing cheesiness that were the majority of 90s country music videos and well content as I re listened to the lyrics, still a good time however. Yet, what will hold the test of time is my all time favorite vocalist. And since her new long awaited (mostly by me) album with her band comes out in a week, I thought I would attempt my most daring week of blog themes yet, to one Alison Krauss, to see if in about 7 days I can convince you of her greatness and thus make you buy the album. So the first song is my favorite type (and one you might be hearing alot this week) of Krauss song, the totally depressing but how pretty and sad is my voice songs. And as I battle with a chronic case of people pleasing, needing to be liked the most and everyone's favorite, well I appreciated this song on many levels. So for all the old favorites out there, this one's for you.



New Favorite
They all say it
I'll say it too
You've got a new favorite

You're old standby
your right hand guy
is nothing new
you've got a new favorite

Why do you lie about love?
I saw the light go out

(interlude)

And should I go
you won't say so
I know its true
I know you've got a new favorite
I know you've got a new favorite

You've got a new favorite
