I found this song today, while looking for new music to accompany my work day. In conversation in the last few months, I've mentioned my sheer boredom with most of the music in my life...whether it is an old favorite or new music coming out from favorites...I just find myself totally and completely bored. So, yes, I was pleasantly surprised with this new album by Mikal Cronin. Apparently, it is his sophomore release. I enjoyed all of the album, but this song really resonated for me. Reading about him on NPR's All Songs Considered, I read that the album is his processing the sweeping changes in his life in terms of life, love, and aging. Yep, yep, yep.
And it feels like a warm summer afternoon, sitting outside, drinking a cheap beer that is almost too warm, surrounded by friends.
I’ve been starting over for a long time
I’m not ready for another day
I feel, I feel anew
The time is right, I’m only getting older
I’m not ready for the second wave
The way you’ve seen it through
Don’t be bolder, golden life of mine
Sing for love, full force in my life
I’m not ready for the way you dance.
Tie the money, hold on for a long time
There’s an answer for another man
I’m yet to find a way
Wasting years or waiting for a savior
I’m not made up for the simple path
Don’t take it day by day
Don’t be bolder, golden life of mine
Sing for love, full force in my life
I’m not ready for the boulder
I’m not ready for the dry cut jeans
I’m not ready for the sirens
I’m not ready for the fear and shame
I’m not ready waking
Take me from myself
From myself
Holding on to something I don’t know
I’ve been starting over for a long time
I’m not ready for the second wave
The way you’ve seen me cry.
