Musical Monday

I've decided to add a music day to my blog. I'm going to try and post some of my favorite songs every Monday.

This week it's Ugly Side by Blue October. I fell in love with this song when I saw Justin Furstenfeld sing it at the LA Breaking Dawn concert. It really struck a chord with me. How many of us only want to show our favorite part of ourselves and want to hide our ugly side? I think it's a battle we all have daily. One of this world's greatest treasures is people that we can show our ugly sides to and they still love us.

"Ugly Side"

I must have sneezed

On knees I freeze I mean

I just choked up

Somehow I slept I dream,

I mean I dreamt of nothing

Able to breathe

A sweet relief

Now that you're here with me

A northern degree

Dove into me

Now I'm recovering

I only want you to see

My favorite part of me

And not my ugly side

Not my ugly side

Hook up a C.B. Wave a way

For conversation flow

I'm shoved in your cave, to wage this rage

Don't let me go

A kick and a scream is all that seems

To mean a lot thus far I won't let you on my stage, my page

You can't know

Yet you have to know

I only want you to see
My favorite part of me
And not my ugly side
Not my ugly side

So calm... and now it's dark

I look for you to light my heart

I'm in between the moon and where you are

I know... I can't be far
