Two Songs for a Friday

I Was Young When I Left Home // Antony + Bryce Dessner



Not only do I need to call out to this lovely mix of tunes that you should all know about and download legally, but I also must call out to the fact that this is by far the best Dylan cover of all time. As most songs do, I wrestle with introspection with this song... thinking of my own leave taking, thinking of my own youth when that occurred, and remembering how and why that happened. With my home so abrasively and abruptly in the news as of late, my thoughts are there more and more consistently. There is always a back and forth when thinking about home, whether or not to be there or to make a home out in the wind.

Escape // Rupert Holmes



This one goes out to my good friends, Lindsay and Brandt Foster, who are drinking Pina Coladas in the warm Florida rain. We all like making love at midnight and planning our escapes, and the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne... so I hope they enjoy it for all of us. A beautiful couple in a beautiful place...
