Plumb pics

Plumb

Saturday I went to a Plumb concert and it was too cool. Maybe next week I'll post a couple pictures. I've been thinking recently why I like Plumb so much. Its not like she's the best singer that ever lived - although her voice is strong and awesome. I normally don't like girl singers but I really enjoy Plumb. I think I enjoy her b/c she's edgy and she's a girl. She comes across confident but not cocky. She has awesome hair - long, dark brown/black, and curly. She dresses funky but not too over the top weird. I like it. She sings about raw stuff sometimes. Real stuff. She can sing about pain but also about joy. She seems to be real. She's a christian but still has stuggles with things. Her songs are not candy coated. Also I think she reminds me of when I was 20 as thats when I first started listening to her. I think Will introduced me to her stuff. Yep. I like her.

Her new album comes out next week but I've had the chance to hear it already. Its good. Really good. There is only one song I don't care for. Here are a few pieces that I really like:

About cutters and their struggle. My heart really hurt when I first heard this song. It's really sad and painful. I was never a cutter myself but know people who were. And am close to others who have other sicknesses/disorders.
CUT --
I may seem crazy
Or painfully shy
And these scars wouldn't be so hidden
If you would just look me in the eye
I feel alone here and cold here
Though I don't want to die
But the only anesthetic that makes me feel anything kills inside
I do not want to be afraid
I do not want to die inside just to breathe in
I'm tired of feeling so numb
Relief exists I find it when
I am cut

This one is about someone saying mean things to her husband and she wanted to be mean back but wrote this instead.
BETTER -
I don't want to care
And I don't want to hate
And I don't want to see you fall too far away
All because of fear
'Cause when you're afraid
You lash out at me
When you say all the things that you never meant to say
And try to break me
But in the end, what leaves you broken
In the end, makes you better.

Ok - I'll end with a more positive song. :0)
BLUSH --
i wanna be in love with only you
i wanna watch the sky downgrade and blue
i wanna know the kiss thats always new
i wanna be in love with only you
just you
