dig

So, I’m listening to the radio the other morning and they played this song as a lead in to the news. It immediately grabbed me like few songs do. (YEY for the station that lists the songs they played when on their website!) Found out it’s called “Dig” by Incubus (who also sing one of my other most favorite songs “Wish you were here” (for very sentimental reasons)) and I checked out the video on You Tube. The one that just has the animated version isn’t embeddable but this one (below) is. The band is superimposed over the animated part but it all flows together really nicely.

I don’t know why the song hit me but it really did – lyrically AND musically. Few songs (outside of the DC realm) can do that anymore but this is one of them. Sending it out as a Friday long distance dedication (cue Casey Kasem voice).

DIG

We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify.
Look me in the eye and ask for forgiveness;
We’ll make a pact to never speak that word again
Yes you are my friend.

We all have something that digs at us,
At least we dig each other
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you’ll count on the me from yesterday

If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we’ll always have each other
When everything else is gone.

We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try.

We all have someone that digs at us,
At least we dig each other
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you’ll act as a clever medicine.

If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we’ll always have each other
When everything else is gone.

Oh each other….
When everything else is gone.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh

If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we’ll always have each other
When everything else is gone.

Oh each other….
When everything else is gone.
Oh each other….
When everything else is gone.
