Good Morning My Desk

I really love the Red House Painters. So simple, just a man and a guitar singing quietly. It is dangerous for a singer to put himself up like that, with nothing to drown out his lyrics. The songs really have to stand up for themselves. He talks mostly about the Midwest, growing up with an idyllic notion that was soon shattered when the rest of the world opened up. I just have a problem listening to it at work. Music takes me away, even in the most inappropriate times. Also, I really can’t stop myself from singing along, which is rather embarrassing in the work place.
