Episode 17 Preview - Conversation 16

Our awesome guests return with their own favorite songs.  This week, Brian Grady brings The National to our airwaves with their song "Conversation 16".


It's a real treat to hear new songs on this show, as much as a part of me wouldn't mind just forcing everyone to listen to my favorite tunes.  Though, technically, I can't force anyone to listen to my show anyway so at least I get to learn about new stuff.  Hopefully you feel the same and will join us on Wednesday.

You can get Conversation 16 on iTunes, on Amazon Music, or on Google Play.  And here are some lyrics for your perusal.

"Conversation 16"

I think the kids are in trouble
Do not know what all the troubles are for
Give them ice for their fevers
You're the only thing I ever want anymore
We live on coffee and flowers
Try not to wonder what the weather will be
I figured out what we're missing
I tell you miserable things after you are asleep

Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Everything means everything

It's a Hollywood summer
You'll never believe the shitty thoughts I think
Meet our friends out for dinner
When I said what I said I didn't mean anything
We belong in a movie
Try to hold it together 'til our friends are gone
We should swim in a fountain
Do not want to disappoint anyone

Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything

I was afraid I'd eat your brains
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil

I'm a confident liar
Have my head in the oven so you know where I'll be
I'll try to be more romantic
I want to believe in everything you believe
I was less than amazing
Do not know what all the troubles are for
Fall asleep in your branches
You're the only thing I ever want anymore

Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city to all the silver girls
Everything means everything

I was afraid I'd eat your brains
I was afraid I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil

So listen, read, think, and come back on Wednesday for the full conversation!
