Freakwater are principally Catherine Ann Irwin and Janet Beveridge Bean. Their 1999 album End Time is pretty much flawless, and its lead-off track 'Good for Nothing' is, I believe, one of the finest songs ever written (at any rate, it's a favorite of mine). They rule, and this song in particular deserves to be very widely heard and known, but until now it hasn't been available anywhere on youtube. I hereby fill that gap: I've been good, and I've been good for nothing I had it bad for something seems like a long time ago And the dirt beneath my nails is not from some field of flowers Sown by the April showers and what they may or may not bring I always get lucky in the spring I have been good for nothing Loose lips are bound to sink ships And many times I've watched my own self drown Clinging fast to my lucidity Like a life raft that's always sinking down One big drink and then another Pull my head down far beneath the waves Where I'm living like a mermaid decked in stolen jewels From the drowning men I've saved I've been good, and I've been good for nothing I had it bad for something seems like a long time ago And the dirt beneath my nails is not from some field of flowers Sown by the April showers and what they may or may not bring I always get lucky in the spring I have been good for nothing Black crows break and scatter wide The buckshot blast soaring out of sight Clouds of heat and dust that rise up from the ground On a slow and gasping flight I'm bound to think about .... + Informações

One of my favorite bands, Freakwater, cut a song about my favorite athlete: Muhammad Ali. Too bad they never made a video to it so I put some moving images to the song! Not condoned by either the record company, the band or the greatest of course. For more info on Freakwater check www.freakwater.net. + Informações

I realize I should have practiced this song more before recorded it but the heart wants what the heart wants Hero Heroine GCGDCG GCG You are my hero, you are my heroine GCG I followed your dusty trail to where it all began CG Back to the time before I knew I was a fool CG To the night I saw my star like some flashing jewel D CG And the way I chose was not my own invention D CG But it was ignorance more than pretension You are my hero, you are my heroine I followed you way downtown to steal your fountain pen But there were myths and there were facts that I mistook And everyone who gets drunk will not write a good book But the words I spoke, the stories I was making Were for the love of you not for the love of faking You are my hero, you are my heroine Would you dig a grave I might be buried in I lean my back against the stove and drink a beer The song you're singing in my head just like you were here And your hat's pulled down so far it hides you eyes Just like a dust storm hit the Oklahoma skies You are my hero, you are my heroine. + Informações
