Well I watched the Nilsson documentary tonight with Jilly. MAN! That dude could sure write a beautiful song. Well I'm sure you can guess where this is going. Nothing but Nilsson for the rest of the week.
When Ari was about five she had his song "Think About Your Troubles" committed to memory, and it was the most charming thing. She would sing:
You can take your teardrops and put them in a teacup, Take them down to the riverside and throw them over the side to be swept up by a current, and taken by the ocean to be eaten by some fishes who were eaten by some fishes who were swallowed by a whale who grew so old he decomposed
Do you have the Nilsson comp someone made years back?
I LOVE THAT SONG!!! You know, I don't have that Nilsson comp, but I'm pretty sure I have all those songs. Although, who knows, you should probably make me a copy just in case.
Have you seen this video of him performing it live? It's super cute.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dswVK5si45M
Posting videos is easy. You know the button that says "embed" underneath a video? Just click on that, copy the url, then paste it onto your post. I hope that makes sense..

Can you teach me to post videos?
