Music Monday: Hijacked by a Hurricane

Well, that was a fun end to September. On the 27th, Hurricane Helene blew northward from the Gulf and hit the edge of Georgia, the Upstate of SC (where I live), and eastern TN before ultimately destroying a large part of Western NC. The past 2.5 weeks have been filled with calls to insurance companies, cleaning out our now moldy (I wish I was kidding) basement, and navigating around downed trees the size of my Honda Fit that are still being a nuisance and keeping people from having the power and internet they need. If you look up Hot Mess in the dictionary, it will show Helene with sneaky Milton not far behind as he ravaged Florida.

So I'm finally back to Music Monday and I'm sure I've posted this one before...but when I heard it days after the hurricane, sitting in my car to charge my devices and try to work since we had no power nor internet...it broke me a little, but in the best way. Thanks, Mr. Buffett. Bubbles Up. If you need help with this lyric, just look at the folks in WNC. "If a hurricane doesn’t leave you dead/It will make you strong/Don’t try to explain it just nod your head/Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On"

Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move Onby Jimmy BuffettI bought a cheap watch from a crazy manFloating down canalIt doesn’t use numbers or moving handsIt always just says nowNow you may be thinking that I was hadBut this watch is never wrongAnd If I have trouble the warranty saidBreathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
And it rained, It was nothing really newAnd it blew, we’ve seen all that beforeAnd it poured, the Earth began to strainPontchartrain leaking through the door, tides at war
If a hurricane doesn’t leave you deadIt will make you strongDon’t try to explain it just nod your headBreathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
And it rained, It was nothing really newAnd it blew, seen all that beforeAnd it poured, the Earth began to strainPontchartrain buried the 9th Ward to the 2nd floor
According to my watch the time is nowPast is dead and goneDon’t try to shake it just nod your headBreathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
Don’t try to shake it just bow your headBreathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
