...Darkness

Renowned for their live performances, the Irish rock band the Saw Doctors did not disappoint the crowd at PCMH last night. For two hours straight, the high energy band rocked out favorite after favorite. And they have a softer side too. I love this one. Perfect for the evening.

Share the Darkness
Hey I can't I say that I love you
I can't say that I don't
I can't say that I couldn't
And I won't say that I won't
But I really like your company
I'm enjoying myself no end
But I can't keep from thinking
Why don't we share the darkness tonight
Make it warm and burning bright
I'll not say nothing
I'll be polite
Why don't we share the darkness tonight

Ah life's too short for wasting
For ifs and might have been's
Life's too short for wondering if
You could have lived your dreams
And its way too short for loneliness
We don't have to be

Now that we trust each other
Why don't you stay with me?
Why don't we share the darkness tonight
Make it warm and burning bright
I'll not say nothing
I'll be polite
Why don't we share the darkness tonight

When the world belongs to distant dogs
And the air is dark and still
And drunken conversations pass
beneath the window sill
And there's someone singing
Elvis songs as they make their way back home
and all your fears and worries
attack when you're alone
when you're alone, when you're
alone, when you're alone
Why don't we share the darkness tonight
Make it warm and burning bright
I'll not say nothing
I'll be polite
Why don't we share the darkness tonight
Why don't we share the darkness tonight

Concert Poster

To celebrate an early St. Paddy'd Day, Marchin and I are off tonight to see the Saw Doctors in Portland at the Port City Music Hall. A good night of Irish rock. Last year they visited the city, and they sold out. I've been trying to get tickets but the box office has been closed through the weekend. Will we get tickets? Your guess is as good as mine. We'll stop by early and take our chances. Can't wait to hear "I Useta Lover", "N17", "Share the Darkness", "The Green and Red of Mayo", Hay Wrap", and "Bless Me Father" among others. Love Irish rock? Gotta see 'em! If we don't get in, we'll be rippin' in the AM! Stay tuned.
Try this out.

Theme Day: Night

Today, August 1, is Theme Day in the CityDailyPhotoBlog community.
"Pour me somethin' tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past twelve, but I don't care
It's five o'clock somewhere"
When I saw this guy's shirt on the boardwalk, on my way to sample a sausage sub, I just had to hum the chorus of that Alan Jackson/Jimmy Buffet song; It's 5 O'clock Somewhere. As for my sub, make mine with peppers, onions, some tomato sauce and throw in a tall iced tea, of course. Hey, it's summer!
