a little concert for myself

so i've been listening to indigo girls most of today...when i wasn't at park day freaking over young male confrontation, uh, i mean playing.

anyway, so now i'm home, and although this is two posts in one day, i'm going to post some of my favorite clips of indigo girls singing songs...

this song is probably one of my favorites. i've always appreciated the guitar and vocals, and i always knew the song was a wisely written one, but it wasn't until i sat at a concert this past september listening, that the truth of the lyrics hit me in a new, tired, raw place and the tears flowed. i love this song...






ok, here's another one. i thought it was a great "drown your break up sorrow in a beer (or two)" song, but then i saw this video, well, my world was a bit broadened... if you're familiar with the indigo girls, the way they're dressed will definitely be weird to see, but to me, it just underscores how politically intelligent and committed these women are. whether you agree with them or not, i just can't imagine anyone being put out by anyone in in the music industry being willing to be a role model who has an opinion and is passionate about the world...




this song is just a beautiful one...



ok, now i'm just getting kind of sappy here, but this is a band called trout fishing in america and this is a lullaby....



ok, i fear i'm weighing my blog down with all these videos. but it was fun looking for them and i hope someone enjoys them at least a little... :)
peace and sweet dreams

I just bought a kids folk cd with a song by "Trout Fishing in America". I had never heard of them before!
