ah, music...it makes you think...

"Ice Cream"

Your love is better than ice cream
better than anything else that I've tried
and your love is better than ice cream
everyone here know how to fight
and it's a long way down
it's a long way down
it's a long way down to the place
where we started from
Your love is better than chocolate
better than anything else that I've tried
oh love is better than chocolate
everyone here knows how to cry
it's a long way down
it's a long way down
it's a long way down to the place
where we started from...

Sara Mclachlan


A few years ago, i went to Lilith Fair with Jessica, Brandy Smith, and Jamie Clemons. I remember that a huge rainstorm came in the middle of the concert and that girls took off their tops and were mudsliding at the park where we were. The best part was Sheryl Crow..man, she absolutly rocked.Anyway, Sara McLachlan was there and the song above was one she sung, and I never will forget the part where she let the crowd sing. It gives me chills remembering that.... it always amazes me how powerful music can be. For example, as I was walking from my car this morning, a white, red-neck "looking" (key word here) guy on a construction crew was singing that Mario Winans song "I Dont Want to Know" and he started rapping along with P Diddy. It kinda startled me, but amused me as well. Twenty years ago, that would have been UNHEARD of. I am reminded of the Ritual of the FRAT, and some of the stuff that is talked about in regards to Music... and I smile. It is so true.
