Since it’s William H. Macy’s birthday, it only makes sense that today’s song of the day should come from a film that is not only one of Macy’s best but which also features one of the best score ever recorded. From Carter Burwell, here is Fargo, North Dakota.
Though I may have had to preempt this week’s review of The Love Boat, I can still express my love for the show with today’s song of the day! As this performance shows, the Love Boat really does have something for everyone.
I just felt the need for some surf music today. Maybe it’s because it’s in the 70s and I’m far away from the beach. I’m not a swimmer but I do like surfers.
Today’s song of the day is a reminder to set your clocks if you haven’t done so already. We lost an hour this morning and who knows if we’ll ever get it back.
Here is Hans Zimmer’s beautiful Time, from the Inceptionsoundtrack.
Hey, it’s Hal Needham’s birthday. What other song could we go with?
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’ A-we gonna do what they say can’t be done We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there I’m east bound, just watch ol’ “Bandit” run
Keep your foot hard on the pedal Son, never mind them brakes Let it all hang out ’cause we got a run to make The boys are thirsty in Atlanta And there’s beer in Texarkana And we’ll bring it back no matter what it takes
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’ A-we gonna do what they say can’t be done We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there I’m east bound, just watch ol’ “Bandit” run
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’ A-we gonna do what they say can’t be done We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there I’m east bound, just watch ol’ “Bandit” run
Ol’ Smokey’s got them ears on He’s hot on your trail And he aint gonna rest ’til you’re in jail So you got to dodge ‘im and you got to duck ‘im You got to keep that diesel truckin’ Just put that hammer down and give it hell
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’ A-we gonna do what they say can’t be done We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there I’m east bound, just watch ol’ “Bandit” run
Not much else to be said other than it’s “One More Light” by Linkin Park.
One More Light
Should’ve stayed, were there signs, I ignored? Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore? We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep There are things that we can have, but can’t keep
If they say Who cares if one more light goes out? In the sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someone’s time runs out? If a moment is all we are We’re quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do
The reminders pull the floor from your feet In the kitchen, one more chair than you need oh And you’re angry, and you should be, it’s not fair Just ’cause you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it, isn’t there
If they say Who cares if one more light goes out? In the sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someone’s time runs out? If a moment is all we are We’re quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do
Who cares if one more light goes out? In the sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someone’s time runs out? If a moment is all we are We’re quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do
I’m picking today’s song of he day as much for the video as the song. By combining one of The Prodigy’s best songs with scenes from George Miller’s best film, whoever put this video together did a brilliant job!
