Driving home from set today I heard a song that came out when I was in junior high school. It reminded me of a lot from my past but I really listened to the words today and it is funny how what a song means to you can change depending on where you are in your life.
The song is Shawn Mullin's "Lullaby". Below are the lyrics and what they mean to me now.
she grew up with the children of the stars in the hollywood hills and the boulevard
her parents threw big parties everyone was there they hung out with folks like dennis hopper, bob seeger, sonny and cher --> I didn't grow up that way but now I'm out in LA hanging out at parties with folks like Paris Hilton and Matt Leiner
now, she feels safe in this bar on fairfax and from the stage I can tell that she can't let go and she can't relax--> I have been to a bar on fairfax and the sunset strip and you never go to relax, you go to network and see people you haven't seen in awhile because everyone works 24/7
and just beforeshe hangs her head to cryI sing to her a lullaby, I sing
everything's gonna be all right rockabye, rockabye --> This part still reminds me of junior high and high school, very nostalgic.
she still lives with her mom outside the city down that street about a half a mile and all her friends tell her she's so pretty --> I don't live with my mom and I live inside the city.
but she'd be a whole lot prettier if she smiled once in a while`cause even her smile looks like a frown she's seen her share of devils in this angel town--> I smile a lot but I have seen my share of devils in this angel town already
I told her I ain't so sure about this place it's hard to play a gig in this town and keep a straight face--> My friend Cazzey Cereghino plays his guitar at Casa Vino in Long Beach and I go watch him play. He's not so sure about this place either, he is a writer trying to get published and then go home.
seems like everyone here's got a plan it's kind of like nashville with a tan, --> Everyone here is trying to be an actor or director or writer etc. They are always planning and scheming. It only has a tan in the summer, it is fairly cold here right now.
but,everything's gonna be all right rockabye.

I don't get your bodily functions. How can you be cold in a place like this? We had five days over ninety degrees in FEBRUARY!!! And I'm not even tan right now in March, I'm burnt red from helping friends move, and being outdoors. You need to move your bed away from the fan or something, because it still hasn't dropped below sixty this year. Oh yes, and great blog too.
