Tune Tuesday

I have been in high spirits this week or at least constantly trying to surround myself with good vibrations that I’m viewing this week as good! I was laying about when this song popped up on an indie radio station online. I screamed, “Jodi what’s that band?.” That’s when Tune Tuesday’s band was chosen. Yeah I bet you thought the picking process was more glamorous, nope not really. Sometimes it’s merely coincidence or what ever I happen to like that week. The band chosen is “Vampire Weekend” and their song “Cousins”. It’s a happy song and it makes me smile. The band originated in New York after they graduated from college. They did it as a side gig but it eventually grew into a full fledge band. You can go here to check out tour dates but hurry because they are selling out fast.



Lyrics...
You found a sweater on the ocean floor.
They're gonna find it if you didn't close the door.
You and the smart one sit outside of their sight,
In a house on a street they wouldn't park on at night.

Dad was a risk taker, his was a shoe maker,
You, greatest hits 2006 little list maker.

Heard codes in the melodies, you heeded the call,
You were born with ten fingers, and you're gonna use em all.

Interest in colors I discovered myself.
If your art-life is gritty, you'll be toastin' my health.
If an interest in culture, you should be lining the walls,
When your birthright is interest, you could just accrue it all.

Me and my cousins, and you and your cousins,
It's a line thats always running.

Me and my cousins and you and your cousins,
I can feel it coming.

You can turn your back on the bitter world.
You can turn your back on the bitter world.
You can turn your back on the bitter world.
You can turn your back on the bitter world.

Me and my cousins, and you and your cousins,
It's a line thats always running.

Me and my cousins and you and your cousins,
I can feel it coming.
