Be Two

Be Two

Let us be two better
Let's pretend that are friends
Let's all go where the fruit flies lead us
They all have the key.

Something in your eyes,
Is it just a sty?
My oh my oh my
Are you now that guy?

Do you hold the key
to open every gate?
Can you pass through walls
or will you wait?

To say they open the sky,
You know that's just a fat lie,
To begin, to begin,
to begin on your way.

Let us be two gathered
let's pretend
that we are on two different ways.
Let us be two scattered,
let's pretend
that we are not using plays.
Let us be two bettered,
let's pretend
that we're two hearts in a haze.

Let us be two bettered,
let's pretend
that we're two hearts in a haze.

in a haze

in a haze.

I sang this song I wrote in a coffee shop last week and someone mentioned that the cadence and melody could also be interpreted in this way: That, of course, is Let's Pretend by Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe

Waggin' the wagon

Somethin' 'bout waggin' ... 
Got on the band wagon? Free your soul with these band's wagon waggin'

Let's start with Darius Rucker's Wagon Wheel cover from 2013:

And move on to way Old Crow Medicine Show (O.C.M.S.) sang and performed Wagon Wheel back in 2006:
 
Now, let's railroad the trip with Waggin' the Dog by Railroad Earth of Hobo Productions:  
 And now for a third song, and a fourth and final clip. This one rounds out the post, and it's non other than The Fathoms playing Tail Waggin' with that classic surfrock twang. 

You're welcome, tail waggers and wagon lovers.
