Mushaboom

Frodo recently introduced me to the artist Feist. Her album Let It Die has quickly become a favorite... especially for road trips or as a gloomy day pick-me-up. I find myself drawn to the song Mushaboom, in particular. It has a wonderful, dreamy quality to it that I find easy to get lost in. I just may adopt this as my new theme song... it fits me so well. To listen, click the link below. The song's lyrics follow.

Mushaboom

Helping the kids out of their coats
But wait the babies haven't been born
oh oh oh

Unpacking the bags and settin' up
 And planting lilacs and buttercups
oh oh oh

But in the meantime I've got it hard
 Second floor living without a yard
 It may be years until the day
 My dreams will match up with my pay

 Old dirt road
 (mushaboom, mushaboom)
 Knee deep snow
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watchin' the fire as we grow...  old
(mushaboom, mushaboom)

I got a man to stick it out
 And make a home from a rented house
 oh oh oh
And we'll collect the moments one by one
 I guess that's how the future's done
 oh oh oh

How many acres how much light
 Tucked in the woods and out of sight
 Talk to the neighbours and tip my cap 
On a little road barely on the map

 Old dirt road
 (mushaboom, mushaboom)
 Knee deep snow
 (mushaboom, mushaboom)
 Watchin' the fire as we grow... old
(mushaboom, mushaboom)

 Old dirt road
 Ramblin' rose
 (mushaboom, mushaboom)
 Watchin' the fire as we grow
 (mushaboom, mushaboom)
 Well I'm sold ...
Oh oh oh oh oh oh ...
 Oh oh oh oh oh oh ...
