i will not take these things for granted

Here's a little Toad the Wet Sprocket for all of you ...wow...

So Toad got it right with their song. It begins with a solo guitar as the lead singer ever-so-honestly confesses "one part of me just wants to tell you everything, one part just needs the quiet". it goes on being just the voice and guitar even through the first chorus. They keep it simple, which really gets my attention. As the verses continue, they add some percussion. By the second verse the guitar is strumming on the downbeats with slight background percussion. By the repeat of the intro-chorus (B section) the all of the band is playing. There is still one voice, however, until the third reprise of the chorus. I suppose the solo voice conveys more honesty. wow...i'm really on an honesty kick here.

some lyrics that i hope you will enjoy:

"one part of me just wants to tell you everything
one part just needs the quiet
and if i'm lonely here, i'm lonely here
and on the telephone
you offer reassurance
i will not take these things for granted"

have a good night, everyone.
