I’m sure y’all have noticed I’ve missed a few weeks on my photo challenge. I actually have (most of) the photos sitting on my hard drive, I just haven’t had time to process or upload them. Instead, I’ve been working on the following video, which I’m very, very excited to finally be able to share. Happy Easter, friends.
Don’t Doubt, by Blind Pilot
Now you don’t have a word to call this kind
of a year made you new and beg it to turn you right.
Two dead birds, underneath the headlights,
every sound they ever made to call out they are alive.
Every piece of me that breaks tryin’ to keep from the sight
of doubt.
Don’t you doubt–
Everybody’s seen some winter;
don’t you take the dark way out.
Don’t you doubt.
Even your breath is breathin’ for another one,
don’t you just take the dark way out.
Thin wind, ringin’ in the silver tines,
yeah it took you by the throat, but it wasn’t the killin’ kind.
Now you don’t tell it like you used to.
Every day left in the dark is gonna come back to you.
Every hope left in your heart is waitin’ on what you’ll do
with doubt.
Don’t you doubt–
Everybody’s seen some winter;
don’t you take the dark way out
Don’t you doubt.
Even your blood is beatin’ for another one,
don’t you just take the dark way out.
Don’t you doubt!
Doubt!
The reasons are dead and they’re growin’ in the ground, so why does it give? Why’d it take?
Why to’ve been kissed?
Why be mean? Why be anything?
Just be the man, be the child, be the cold midnight soaked in the bones of this town.
In the breath, in the pink,
In the honey taken from that green thing given sweet.
In the cold, in the pour,
In the want in the wantin’ the sound even your own body knows.
All there is,
See the gem.
Your hands are lined with all that they ever have.
