Lucky

I'm still working on my weekend recap. There's just too much to talk about quickly and in a short space, but I wanted to quickly talk about this. For those of you who were at the benefit show on Friday, you may have seen me get up and sing a song with ALL. I wanted to take a second and let everyone know how near and dear the song Lucky is to Laela and me.

The song Lucky was released 1997 on the "I'm the One" single and also included on the soundtrack to the motion picture Godmoney. When we picked up the single we both immediately fell in love with it and over the years it has become "our song." Each of us use it for the ringtone for the other on our mobile phones and I just can't help but think about Laela every time I hear it. The lyrics also seem oddly appropriate given the current circumstances. As always, thanks for reading. The blog is kind of cathartic for me.

Lucky Lyrics
Band:
Descendents

Walking home on St. Patty's Day
I found a lucky penny along the way
Put it in my pocket
The one with the hole in it
These days things don't seem to go my day

I know it's tough sometimes to be with me
When I'm predicting rain most every day
Lately I've been right, almost every time
These days things don't seem to go my way

What would I do, if I hadn't already got lucky once with you
If I hadn't already got lucky once with you

So I keep telling myself something's going to change
Maybe I'll get lucky then I can smile again
Cause that's what I want to do
I want a smile for you
I'm waiting for some things to go my way

What would I do, If I hadn't already got lucky once with you
If I hadn't already got lucky once with you
Fuck St. Patty's Day
I'm throwing my pennies away
But I'm holding on to a single lucky charm
That's what I want to do
I want a smile for you
I'm waiting for some things to go my way

What would I do, If I hadn't already got lucky once with you
If I hadn't found you what would I do?
If I hadn't already got lucky once with you
If I handn't-a wouldn't-a couldn't-a, what would I do
If I hadn't already got lucky once with you
