I heart PB&J

That would be Peter Bjorn & John (of whistle-y "Young Folks" fame), not peanut butter & jelly (gross).  Right before my surgery, I went to their show at Neumos with my friend Sydnie.  They played an old song of theirs called "Objects of My Affection" that has some lyrics I feel like I can relate to.  Here are some select lyrics and a live recording of the song (as the official music video is not very good and I love live and acoustic versions of songs).  Please enjoy.  :)

...And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now?

I happily have to disagree

I laugh more often now, I cry more often now

I am more me

But of course some days, I just lie around

And hardly exist

And can't tell apart what I'm eating

From my hand or my wrist

'Cause flesh is flesh, flesh is, flesh is flesh

The difference is thin

But life has a certain ability of beating new life into me

So I breathe it in

It says here we are, and we all are here

And you still can make sense

If you just show up and present an honest face

Instead of that grin

And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now?

I happily have to disagree

I laugh more often now, I cry more often now

I am more me

And the other day, this new friend of mine

Said something to me

"Just because something starts differently

Doesn't mean it's worth less"...

I LOVE MUSIC.  <3
