This is new to me. In the intro to Blame it on Me, Akon actually issues a blanket apology for things that might occur in the future.

“As life goes on, I start to learn more and more about responsibility. And I realize that everything I do is affecting the people around me. So I wanted to take this time out to apologize for the things I have done and the things that haven’t occurred yet… and the things they don’t want to take responsibility for.”

So much for responsibility.

I just came across a song called “The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot” (By Brand New) which I think is one of the most vivid song titles I have ever heard. How many times I have I packed my own jumper at the buzzer?

Unfortunately, the lyrics are not as inspiring as the title of the song. Oh well.

[She]
I was headed to church

[He]
I was off to drink you away

From Picture by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow

The sun is filled wtih ice and gives no warmth at all
The sky was never blue
The stars are raindrops searching for a place to fall
And I never cared for you.

I Never Cared For You from the album Teatro

You said “Let me tell you the song of this town, is that everything closes at five. After that, well, you just got the bars.”
