Who are my favorite songs about?


I would consider myself a professional concert goer at this point. The concert that may have officially damaged my hearing would be Brothers Osborne, who played in Wichita last night.

I can confirm that it was 100 percent worth it.

I didn't realize it until I was standing right there listening to them, but I have a lot of fond memories of their songs over the years.

There are two love songs on their recent album that I like. They're not traditional love songs, which is why I like them so much.

Plus, John Osborne plays the guitar like he invented it.

Did I stop and watch the sunset fade?
What gave me life and took my breath away?
Did I take a last-call stranger home
So I wouldn't have to wake up alone?
I heard I was a wild one
I feel like a child, son
But I really don't recall
Heard I was a fast one
Always was last one
Waitin' for the other shoe to fall
I've seen pictures
And I've heard stories
'Bout the boy I used to be
But I don't remember me
Was I just another ghost in this town?
Who was I when no one was around?
Did I even know what I was livin' with?
Who are my favorite songs about?
I heard I was a wild one
I feel like a child, son
But I really don't recall
Heard I was a fast one
Always was last one
Waitin' for the other shoe to fall
I've seen pictures
And I've heard stories
'Bout the boy I used to be
But I don't remember me
Was my heart beatin' in my chest?
Was I even alive before the day we met?
I heard I was a wild one
I feel like a child, son
But I really don't recall
Heard I was a fast one
Always was last one
Waitin' for the other shoe to fall
I've seen pictures
And I've heard stories
'Bout the boy I used to be
But I don't remember me
No, I don't remember me before you

Maybe one of these days I'll find someone worthy of the love songs that I love. 

Or maybe I won't, and instead I'll just get Pug cuddles. 

The snuggling was hard last night, or this morning, when I got home. Penny Pug snored her heart out beside me, where she's been for the past eight years through everything. 

:)

Love comes and goes, but Pugs are forever.
