This Song…

HERE’S TO THE NIGHT

by EVE 6

…Gained A Whole New Level Of Relevance With Me During The Latter Portion Of 2000, And Well Into 2001.

To ME, It Was An Anthem For The Always Coming And Always Going Military Person.

I’d Venture To Say Most Of Y’all Have Had A Friend Or Relative In The Armed Forces.

And, Because I Ventured There, I’m Also Venturing Y’all Understand The Process Of Taking “Shore Leave” Or “Liberty” As We Called It.

It’s Horrid.

You Come Home For A Couple Days…

…And Then You’re Gone For Months And Months.

You Come Home Again For Maybe A Week Or So…

…And Then Your Ass Is Out The Door For The Next Year.

For Those Of You Whom Have Never Had To Deal With This Situation, Trust Me, I Envy You.

Going Home On “Shore Leave” Was Almost Always The Best Part Of My Year.

Going Back To Wherever I Was Stationed At The Time Was Always The Biggest Downer.

I May Have Loved My Job In The Navy…

…But There Was Nothing I Hated More So Than Having To Up And Leave My Family And Friends.

I Never Got Used To Saying Goodbye.

Never.

But, You Suck-It-Up AND You Deal-With-It.

Period.

You Didn’t Have Any Other Options.

That’s Why I Was Drawn To This Song.

I Heard It.

I Listened To It Over And Over.

I Fell In Love With It.

It Was Just So Damned Relevant.

It Fit My Life Situation Perfectly, At That Time.

To This Day, I Have A Very Tender Place In My Heart For This Jam.

It Reminds Me Of An Exceptionally Crazy-Hard Period In My Life.

It Reminds Me Of BOTH The Good AND The Bad Of Said Crazy-Hard Period.

This Song Has Become Quite The Staple In My Life’s Journey.

That’s A Good Thing, Right?!

RIGHT!!!

😀          😀

Please Do Try To Enjoy Your Day, My Peeps.

I Shall Endeavor To Do The Same.

I Wish Us ALL Luck.

L8r L8r, My Tater-Tots.

“Run Away From All Your Boredom… Run Away From All Your Whoredom… And Wave… Your Worries And Cares… Goodbye…” (PLACEBO “Slave To The Wage” (2000))

“…All It Takes Is One Decision

A Lot Of Guts

A Little Vision To Wave

Your Worries And Cares

Goodbye. …”

“…It’s A Maze

For Rats To Try

It’s A Maze

For Rats To Try

It’s A Race

A Race For Rats

A Race For Rats To Die

It’s A Race

A Race For Rats

A Race For Rats To Die. …”

Well, My Peeps, What More Has To Be Said?

You Already Know I Have A Crush On The Band…

PLACEBO

…And I Likely Always Will.

And, It’s With Songs Such As This One…

SLAVE TO THE WAGE

…That They’ve Become More Endeared To Me As Time Passes.

SLAVE TO THE WAGE

…Is One Of My All-Time Favorite Jams, And I’m Happy To Be Sharing It With Y’all, Today.

The Lyrics Are Plenty Self-Explanatory.

Lord Knows We All Feel Like Rats In A Maze, At One Time Or Another, In Regard To Our Jobs/Activities/Vocations/etc etc.

Haven’t You?!

SURE YOU HAVE!!

I Think It’s Just Par For The Course, Ya Know?

SO…

…For Those Of You Stuck At Work, Today…

…THIS SONG IS DEDICATED TO YOU!

Period.

I Hope You Enjoy It!
