Up Against a Stone

 Valerie June came up on the Ipod late in the day at work - it was a triple play song, meaning I pressed replay twice before I moved on. As it turned out, Pushing Against a Stone proved to be the song of the day; you see there has been a lot of stone pushing around here lately - someone pushes a bunch of little boulders one way, spreading a little gap between 'em, them someone else comes along and pushes 'em back together, almost like they don't want to leave a little gap. That back and forth pattern seems to be repeating day after day. The little game to see who blinks first has been going on for a good week now. Seems like a kind of waste of energy if you ask me.

"Bleeding blazing hot

Hot as the sun

Fortune teller told a tale

Of things to be done

Been pushin' my weight up against a stone

And I believe to my soul it's time to move on

There you go, There you go..."

(Auerbach, Augunas, Ochoa, Hockett)
