A track out of my lifes soundtrack...

I cannot live without music. I simply can't function without it. My iPod travels everywhere with me, and there are always CD's packed into my car - which makes me very thankful for my new, 6 CD changer! - Some days, I am happy with whatever is playing on the radio. Other days - like today - a mood will strike I will aboslutely have to listen to a particular song, or artist, at full, speaker thumping, ear blasting volume. Today, it was Billy Joel. How I love Billy Joel. Piano Man will forever be my favourite song by this artist, but this morning as I drove to the subway station, another one of his songs connected with me. I can't explain why - not yet at least - but it just made so much sense, and helped me carry a smile all the way into work.

You May be Right

Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed me out again
I was only having fun
Wasn't hurting anyone
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change

I've been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just might be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right

Remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said take me as I am
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for awhile

Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
It's too late to fight
It's too late to change me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just might be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right

You may be wrong, but you may be right
You may be wrong, but you may be right

If you haven't heard this song before, download it - buy the cd - just listen! It's a classic, amongst many others, by Billy Joel.
