Well, pretty much anyway. Anyway, I wanted to make this thread as sort of a pressure valve for when you feel like singing out loud but can't. (I have that happen to me a lot. LOL) You don't have to post the whole song, but I think the lyrics should be right, don't you? You can post the artist if you want but you don't have to. Okay... here a song that I felt like singing today. LOL. It's by Natasha Bedingfield (sp?). I love the words - especially the part about no one can speak the words on your lips and today is where your book begins. I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with eyes wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten Oh, oh, oh I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with eyes wide open Today is where your book begins Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with eyes wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with eyes wide open Today is where your book begins Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with eyes wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten The rest is still unwritten The rest is still unwritten

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (Did I ever tell you that I met Steve Miller once? I was an assistant animator on one of his videos, and he stopped by the lab to check out the computers.)

Originally Posted By alexbook Well, it was more like my boss's boss met him and I stood around and listened, but I did get to shake his hand.
