I have a lottery ticket for tonight. If I win, I don't think anybody will believe me. I probably won't even believe the ticket.
So today's song is a classic. It's called 'Both Hands' by Ani DiFranco. Ani is a huge lesbian icon. Anyone into the indie or gay scene has heard of her, and can probably sing along to this song. Gay or straight though, most people can appreciate this song. It's about the tragedy of how so many relationships end because of apathy.
I have two favorite lines from this song. The first one:
I am getting nowhere with you
But I can't let it go,
And I can't get through.
But I can't let it go,
And I can't get through.
And the second:
Your bones have been my bedframe
And your flesh has been my pillow
I am waiting for sleep
To offer up the deep with both hands
And your flesh has been my pillow
I am waiting for sleep
To offer up the deep with both hands
