The Avett Brothers are one of those bands that every song they make is great. I have three of their albums and each one is a wonderful compilation of songs. Their sounds is unique and their lyrics are fun. And this song in particular kind of shows where I feel I have been before.
"Last night I dreamt the whole night long
I awoke with a head full of songs
I spent the whole day
I wrote 'em down, but it's a shame
Tonight I'll burn the lyrics
'Cause every chorus was your name"
Trying to get that one person out of your head is hard to do. Taking it day by day makes it easier, though.
Psalm 11
This one ends great "Once we're standing tall, we can look Him straight in the eye" (The Message). He's the one that sets us right and He's the one who puts us in that position to be able to look at Him.
This Psalm is telling of God's character and I really enjoy the break from David. God is just, He loves, and He Is our strength. I can't think of a better way to write it than David did, and I just want to go back and reread it.
1IN THE Lord I take refuge [and put my trust]; how can you say to me, Flee like a bird to your mountain?
2For see, the wicked are bending the bow; they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they [furtively] in darkness may shoot at the upright in heart.
3If the foundations are destroyed, what can the [unyieldingly] righteous do, or what has He [the Righteous One] wrought or accomplished?
4The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes behold; His eyelids test and prove the children of men.
5The Lord tests and proves the [unyieldingly] righteous, but His soul abhors the wicked and him who loves violence.
6Upon the wicked He will rain quick burning coals or snares; fire, brimstone, and a [dreadful] scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7For the Lord is [rigidly] righteous, He loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold His face, or He beholds the upright. (Psalm 11 Amplified Bible)
