Music Monday: Of Moons and Bouncing

 I'm back from hiatus/surgery! Thanks again to my two guest hosts, Tony and Shannon, for those amazing posts/song recommendations. Y'all rock. These two weeks have flown by without a lot of writing time, sadly, so no real inspiration to share, there. However...

I know that I have used "Little Hercules" by Craig Carothers for a Music Monday before, and it was through that song that I found this one. This song to me is nights in the North Georgia mountains, working at summer camp, the smell of campfires and my deliciously talented friends with guitars and listening to it is like a warm hug. Enjoy.



Bounce It Off the Moon
by Craig Carothers

I always come out here at night
When I can't think inside my room
And everything will be all right
After I bounce it off the moon

I tried to tell you on my own
But every time it falls to ruin
Because I'm no good at this alone
I have to bounce it off the moon

I look for the words
That tell you I love you
With no moon above you
but they won't come

So I sit quiet in the dark
I count the shadows in my room
And I will memorize my chords
After I bounce it off the moon

Tonight the sky is cold and black
You need to know that love is true
I wish I were just holding back
And not depending on the moon

I dream of the day
When I'll win you over
But over and over
No, it won't come

So I sit quiet in the dark
I know that change is coming soon
I find the language of the heart
After I bounce it off the moon

Music Monday: Song of a Local Hero

This won't mean much to some, but while we were abroad, we got to tour the Cathedral on the Hill, the home stadium for Newcastle United....
