When the world is wide, wicked and wild
and watching my every move
I gather thoughts of you and that’s what lovers do.
You’ve said before when every act is a war
and every shade, just another shade of blue
you’d have me walk with you and that’s what lovers do
told you so, I’m in love with you….
told you so and I bet you love me too…
When you go walking away with the wind and the waves and
flirting with your feet,
you take a part of me and that’s what lovers feel
And when you come upon a time and place sublime and it
shows you something real
you wish me there to see and that’s what lovers feel
told you so, I’m in love with you….
told you so and I bet you love me too…
At a party I’ve thrown the morning has grown and
someone’s going your way
you tell them you’d rather stay and that’s what lovers say
So to the garden we go, quiet and slow and we
watch the world awake
you know I love you for loves sake, isn’t that what lovers say?
told you so, I’m in love with you….
told you so and I bet you love me too…

Summer is upon us… and comes with it, the need for road trips and random outings.
Nothing goes better with those events than great music.
Here’s a list of a few songs I put together for just that reason.
Some are newer… some are classics.
Feel free to download them to your ipod, burn them to a disc, or whatever you need to enjoy them to their fullest.
Oh yeah… you’ll want to play them extra loud too!
Enjoy!

Nine Inch Nails recently released their newest work.
The title:
Ghosts I-IV. It consists of 36 brand new instrumental tracks. You can download the first 9 tracks for free as well as purchase the entire collection from their main page. All You need to provide is your email, and they’ll send you a link to download a zipped up file containing the tracks and a few other goodies.
I’ve never been much of a NIN fan, but I have to admit I have enjoyed several of the “hits” over the years.
This album, well… simply… it doesn’t suck! It’s good background music, however I’ve only got my hands on the free tunes. I guess I need to make sure I like those before I commit to the rest of the album. Most of the songs are less than 3 minutes in length, which is good, but you’ll make it through the CD before you’ve finished your Mountain Dew and Skittles snack break.
I don’t do too many music reviews, but I’ll go ahead and give this album (what I’ve heard) a C+. It would have deserved a solid B, if it hadn’t taken 10 weeks to create. Without citing any specific examples, I’m pretty sure I’ve stumbled upon other artists who’ve thrown together something similar, and in far less time. Still, it’s NIN, and I guess it’s brilliant just because Trent wrote the songs 
If nothing else, it makes for good baby making music, or LSD trips. Can you even still get LSD?
