Throw Your Arms Around Me

I've had one of those melancholy days; it happens now and then. I can't point to any one specific reason for it, although I have my suspicions. Regardless, I did what I normally do when the blues get me – I sulked, ate some chocolate, mixed in a little work, and then finally turned to my fix-all…Pearl Jam.

For those who know me or who have enjoyed (or possibly not enjoyed) Asylum Lake, my fondness for Pearl jam is pretty evident.  Music is an important part of my life – not that I can carry a tune or play an instrument. But I know what I like when I hear it and since the early '90s it's been a healthy dose of Eddie Vedder and company.  I have eclectic tastes – everything from Jackson Brown to Godsmack.  Hell, I've even been known to mix in a little Vanilla Ice in a pinch! Don't be a hater – you know  Mr. Van Winkle dropped the jamz back in the day.

I digress.  I hit random on my iPod a short while ago and heard some very powerful words from an amazing poet.  Like me, I hope you find what you need in them, as well.   Push to Play
