“The Sifters”

what if we hadn’t been each other at the same time?
would you tell me all the stories from when you were young and in your prime?
would I rock you to sleep?
would you tell me all the secrets you don’t need to keep?
would I still miss you?
oh, would you then have been mine?

6 out of 15 wished-for songs! Asterisks are next to the songs where I just sat/stood there staring at him with hearts in my eyes like Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music watching Captain von Trapp sing Edelweiss.

Was really hoping to hear “The Sifters” and “Don’t Be Scared” though. He’s played them on other recent tour dates. And, you know, fun fact: Sharon Lanza of Mucca Pazza wrote the lyrics for it. Another fun fact, one of the trombonists in Mucca Pazza used to be my RH, and a couple years ago I made a mix CD for his two year-old kid that included “Don’t Be Scared” on it.

One last fact: Mucca Pazza are fucking awesome.
