As I was driving down the highway to Grand Junction the other day, this song came across my car stereo (don’t worry, it wasn’t playing on the radio, it was on my USB stick). It is, hands down, one of my favorite songs, and the only reason that it didn’t make it to my “Monday’s Child and Other Poems” collection was because Robert Foreman also did a song about Wednesday, which fit the theme a bit better. Here’s the lyrics, as Ye Olde Pick of the Day: Continue reading Ye Olde Pick of the Day: Choices

Ye Olde Pick of the Day: Do You Hear What I Hear?
Said the night wind to the little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star,
Dancing in the night,
With a tail as big as a kite,
With a tail as big as a kite.
Said the little lamb to the Shepard boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky Shepard boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song,
High above the trees,
With a voice as big as the sea,
With a voice as big as the sea.
Said the Shepard boy to the mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
In your palace wall mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
A child, a child,
Shivers in the cold,
Let us bring him silver and gold,
Let us bring him silver and gold.
Said the king to the people everywhere,
Listen to what I say.
Pray for peace people everywhere,
Listen to what I say.
The child, the child,
Sleeping in the night,
He will bring us goodness and light,
He will bring us goodness and light.
He will bring us goodness and light!

Ye Olde Pick of the Day: Snow Patrol – Set the Fire to the Third Bar
For Valentine’s Day, Jessa got me the Snow Patrol album, “Up to Now”. Snow Patrol is a recent kick for me (I only recently heard of them earlier this year), but I’m finding that I enjoy a fair amount of their music. Lyrics for “Set the Fire to the Third Bar”, and a bit more of my thoughts on the song after the jump.

Ye Olde Pick of the Day: Nightwish – Amaranth
Today’s Ye Olde Pick of the Day is a song I’ve had stuck in my head the past few days: Amaranth by Nightwish. It’s on their newest album (Dark Passion Play), and has a very catchy chorus. The video is also highly recommended. Lyrics below the break.
