Mama Music

June 12, 2008

Just bought the new Plumb album Blink yesterday. I spent the evening listening to it and blubbering about how much my babies have grown up. I have never heard an album like this, melancholy mama pop tunes.

When is the last time you heard songs about the sleepless nights and the bone weary tiredness of caring for little ones? And the love you feel for your baby even though you're so tired you can't think straight. Those days are over for me now and though I really miss nursing I can't say I miss the years of sleep deprivation.

Simply said, I love my growing-up babies and I love this album. These are the lullabies and soul songs I would write and sing if I could write music.

If you are a mama buy it (iTunes sale price of $7.99). Today. Keep the tissues handy.

Favorite song of the day:

Me

I haven't had A chance to sleep And when I wake I wake with your dreams I guess my pillow Holds some kind of key To your peace Your peace

Me I wouldn't trade your love for all the candy In this great big world Me I feel so crazy blessed and oh so lucky To be the place you go When you need to feel safe When you need a kiss It's me

I haven't showered And I tried to eat But all your tears Oh they needed me I need some time, some time to think But then I hear you And what you need is...

Me I wouldn't trade your love for all the candy In this great big world Me I feel so crazy blessed and oh so lucky To be the place you go

I wash your face To make room for All the kisses Of tomorrow And every day That I get to Be here with you Is sweet

Me I wouldn't trade your love for all the candy In this great big world Me I feel so crazy blessed and oh so lucky To be the place you go When you need to feel safe When you need a kiss Oh don't be afraid Cause you'll have is.... Me
