Today’s “Haven’s Happenstance” #song - “The Music That’s Makin Me Feel Good Right Now Series” “Ready To Start” by #Arcade Fire. You know how I told ya that I drive around Mulholland and blast my music… well this is one of those I blast there and just about everywhere I can. I doubt the lyrics are about love, but it’s about a relationship- romantic or not. And for me there are some words in here that are just so empowering. I love these guys. It was hard to pick just one song from their indie smash album, The Suburbs, will post another one shortly.

“If the businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
Then I guess I’ll just begin again
You say, “can we still be friends?”
If I was scared… I would
And if I was bored… you know I would
And if I was yours… but I’m not
Now you’re knocking at my door
Saying please come out with us tonight
But I would rather be alone
Than pretend I feel alright
Now I’m ready to start
I would rather be wrong
Than live in the shadows of your song
My mind is open wide
And now I’m ready to start
Now I’m ready to start
My mind is open wide
And now I’m ready to start
And I’m sure you opened the door
To step out into the dark
Now I’m ready”
