Its The Little Things In Life

I've been moping around a lot lately. I've got a lot on my mind, none of it earth shattering, but all of it coming from every angle. There is no escape. I've been trying to find words to express myself, it ain't gone well. Then I heard a song that I had heard a many a time before, only this time it was the exact right song at the exact right time. It came for a reason. I wanted to post a youtube video, but there was none to be found. I wanted to link to the lyrics but those weren't to be had either. You listen to the obscure, you get the obscure.

At any rate, the band is Kennedy's Kitchen. The CD is A Pocketful of Lint. The song is The Little Things in Life: The Dead Cat Song. Click on that last link, and listen to a sample. It tells a tale of a simple event that snowballs out of control. Absurd? Oh yeah! Funny as all get out actually, but it has a moral.

Its the little things in life that will kill you.

I just noticed that the CD liner notes include the lyrics. I'd post them because they are as important as they are hysterical, however, I also like this band and want to stay out of trouble with them. You buy the CD and read the lyrics for yourself. You'll thank me.

At any rate, the song played for me and it had a message and I'm still figuring out exactly what it means. What? Did you think these things just fall out of the sky on a silver platter? I wish.

Honestly, it sure would be a lot easier if it were a Simon and Garfunkel song.
