Musical Monday: Can't Get There from Here

Comments by ZingerBug.com

Happy Veterans' Day!!!  I want to thank all of our veterans for their bravery and service to our country.  Shelley's classmates are bowling with veterans this morning and attending Birmingham's Veterans' Day Parade this afternoon.  Shelley's home sick, so I'm taking her to the doctor this afternoon. I think she might have bronchitis!  I'm sad she's going to miss all the fun today honoring veterans.  

It seems as if the end of October and beginning of November has been one long fall break since my daughters' fall breaks didn't coincide (of course)....but don't let the word "break" mislead you because we've been super busy!

Lately we've been listening to a few college playlists (I attended college in the mid-eighties), so *of course* R.E.M. was on the playlists.

Here is one of my favorites from REM.  I hope you enjoy it!   The song is odd and the video is even odder.  I love the scenes around rural Georgia.

"Can't Get There from Here" Lyricsfrom the Fables of the Reconstruction album
When the world is a monster bad to swallow you wholeKick the clay that holds the teeth in, throw your trolls out the doorIf you're needing inspiration, Philomath is where I go by dawnLawyer Jeff, he knows the lowdown, he's mighty bad to visit home (I've been there I know the way) Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way) Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way) Can't get there from here When your hands are feeling empty, stick head jumpin' off the ground roundTris is sure to shirr the deer out, Brother Ray can sing my song (I've been there I know the way) Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way) Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way) Can't get there from here Hands down, Calechee bound, landlocked, kiss the groundDirt of seven continents going round and roundGo on ahead, Mr. Citywide, hypnotized, suit-and-tiedGentlemen, testify If your world is a monster bad to swallow you wholePhilomath, they know the lowdown, throw your trolls out the door (I've been there I know the way) Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way) Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way) Can't get there from here(I've been there I know the way) Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way) Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way) Can't get there from here (I've been there I know the way) Can't get there from here

Philomath is a small town in Georgia, but I have no idea what Michael Stipe meant by Calechee bound.

What have you been listening to lately?
