Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no ...
I used a version of this song for a piece when I worked for the Cowboys. It's originally Ennio Morricone's 'Ecstasy of Gold' from 'The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly'. I used a cut I found featuring Yo Yo Ma.
I thought about uploading my piece too but I just watched it and feel the change in quality between the two may be a ...
I'll admit it - when I'm reading blogs and there's an embedded youtube clip, most of the time I will not click on it.

“White Winter Hymnal,†a stop-action music video directed by Sean Pecknold for Seattle band Fleet Foxes, is a quietly beautiful meditation on nature and time. Channeling the music’s cyclical vocals, the video stars a Father Time-ish gnome who brings to life—and then to death—the natural world around him.
Sean is repped by Curious Pictures, but this project was completed on his own in Seattle. Sean’s brother, ...
We came to Texas in April of 2005. I took a job with the Dallas Cowboys, which was a backwards career move but a way to get out of Arkansas. Just as going to Harding was probably a mistake but I met Heather, going to work for Jerry TV was a mistake except for the fact that it brought us to Dallas and to all our ...
I found a taker for my scrapbooking stuff. I also bought a new-to-me car, a 2000 Honda Civic EX. LOVE IT so far. I will have to post a photo soon, but looks a lot like Darek's and also this guy's. Quieter on the highway, a smoother ride over all and much better sound! Not sure if the previous owner put in better speakers, but they sound ...
