You know those bottles with the labels on them that say Do Not Take Internally? Yeah, well. I can't help it. I take everything internally.

Song Of The Day

Gracie
By
Ben Folds

Ben Folds is an absolutely fascinating person. Very, very strange, yes; but fascinating. His music is creative and original, blending curious lyrics with catchy piano. He's one of the most brilliant songwriters I know.

Gracie is just one of his many superb songs, written about his little daughter. It really touches me. Unfortunately, Ben has been married multiple times (Hopefully he has not yet divorced his fourth...), so the beauty of him and his wife watching little Gracie grow is rather messed up for me.

Still, this is a great song. Enjoy. If you like it, I can recommend others!

Awwwww,
That is so sweet.
Kinda makes me feel like I should be nicer to my own father...
You know, those songs that show how much parents love their kids, and you're like ohhhhh... oh.
But I really liked that song! Sweet
