It`s funny how the words we never say, can turn into the only thoughts we know

I've had the thought of posting these songs since the first time I heard them.  I'm sure I've mentioned them but haven't yet given them the spotlighted they deserve.

Seriously, these songs do something to me each time I hear them.  Each and every time.  Part of it is that feeling you get when you first hear a song and it changes your life.  I seriously get that feeling each. and. ever. time.  And the other part is something I have yet to figure out.  It sort of breaks me and puts me back together, whatever it is.  

Andrew McMahon kills me every time he opens his mouth and sings.  I could literally listen to him sing the phone book and would actually pay money for it.  
Yeah, he's a ninja.  Or a Jedi Knight.  Just of music.  
And Awesomeness.     


"Restless Dream" 


"Casting Lines" 

I, also, love the fact that "Casting Lines"was written as a writing assignment to be the theme song for 'Parenthood'.  Damn Bob Dylan!  I love hearing "Forever Young" every time I watch 'Parenthood' but "Casting Lines" would have worked just as well.  Different feel but just as good.  Of course, I'd rather listen to Andrew over Bob any day.  I know, blasphemy to some but it's a truth to me.  


For those of you who have checked out  People & Things  but maybe haven't checked out the Deluxe version you need to!  Even if it's just for these two songs... 

iTunes Deluxe songs I LOVE from People & Things: 

"Broken Bird"

"Dancing With a Gun"
