I Love My iPod

Family Force 5, although primarily a drive-with-your-windows-down party band, has some really good messages in their lyrics. Here are a few lines from a song I was listening to while mowing the lawn Sunday. They lined up so perfect with some things I’ve been thinking about, as well as some things the ole pastor was talking about earlier that morning.

Friend, can’t you see I’m trying to help you out
But your mind is stuck on things
that leave you adrift with broken wings
You wanna talk about God Philosophy
I don’t think there’s anything wrong
I’ve got time, in fact lifelong
I think your walkin’ on broken glass
and I hope your not going down fast
And then you tell me that you think I’m wrong

Hey, don’t ever bring me back
To where I used to be
Cause now I feel so fine, and I feel so Peachy
Hey, don’t ever bring me back
To where I used to be
Cause now I feel so fine, and I feel so Peachy
Don’t bring me down
Cause I don’t have time for that anymore

I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.

Business Up Front, Party In The Back

One of the opening bands on the Portable Sounds tour that I went to last Friday was Family Force 5. Jason says he told me about them a long time ago, but I swear this was my first introduction.

Their set was short but very energetic. Dan and I were more entertained by the act than by the music. They were hilarious. One of the best Live shows I’ve ever seen. You can’t even describe it.

But now that I’m back I can’t get enough of their stuff. It’s not ground breaking, or highly intellectual. It’s just good ol’ fun music. Their Diamond Edition re-release of their first album just hit stores yesterday. I encourage you to check them out.

Originally, I bought a ticket just to hang out and support a buddy of mine, but this morning I’m really pumped about this concert tonight.
