Tonight, the disharmonic symphony of the cicadas plague my ears
Drifting off to the mind numbing hum of grinding gears
Families starving in the eerie silence of the hills
Lie exposed to the elements so fierce
Hold out just one more day…
Say the same tomorrow…
Say the same tomorrow
For the union, hold out, for a fair wage and a living, this sorrow

Panopticon - "Black Soot and Red Blood"

"Zoe Jane" by Staind

Listen on Apple Music (music.apple.com/us/album/zoe-j)

I was playing some video games this morning and randomly this song popped into my head, so I guess it'll be my song of the day to get that 60-track badge! Zoe Jane by Staind is likely my second favorite song by them. Just one that I've always like the sound to even though it's a bit slower and a bit different than most Staind songs.

[Verse 1]
Well, I want you to notice
To notice when I'm not around
I know that your eyes see straight through me
And speak to me without a sound

[Chorus]
And I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured
And I want to show you
Show you all the things, that this life has in store for you
And I'll always love you
The way that a father, should love his daughter

[Verse 2]
When I walked out this morning
I cried as I walked to the door
I cried about how long I'd be away for
I cried about leaving you all alone

I picked up a used CD copy of R.E.M.'s Out of Time today for $2.99 because I can't find my cassette copy and CDs are just easier for me to use (I have several CD players but only one cassette player). I've forgotten how good this album was - I haven't listened to it end to end in years.

"With Arms Wide Open (Single Version / Remastered 2024)" by Creed

Listen on Apple Music (music.apple.com/us/album/with-)

Today's song is going to be With Arms Wide Open by Creed. Easily my favorite song by Creed, a band that I discovered prior to them ever becoming popular or even mainstream due to Buzz Fest out in Houston, TX one year.

Creed has always been one of my favorite alternative bands and still are today. However, I'm not as big of a fan of their newer music as I am their old stuff prior to Scott Stapp stepping away to do solo stuff and the band being on hiatus.

[Verse]
Well angels heard the news today
It seems my life is gonna change
I close my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy streamed down my face
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
Ill show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

[Chorus]
Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man i have to be
I take a breath i take her by my side
We stand in awe, we created life
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
Ill show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
Ill show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

If you've a hankering for some 90s-influenced rock, look no further than Swindon, England-based trio I See Orange (though the lead singer and bassist is from Mexico). Listening to them takes me back to 1994! Here's a video of their song "La Bruja."

Their Bandcamp page has an EP and a few singles (most of which have YT videos). "Fairy," "Morbid," "Mental Rot" and "Feebleness" are strong tracks!
