Mae-Mae's Music Club

So, I'm sort of stealing this from my husband Justin. He does a "Friday Music Club" on his blog (check it out every Friday!). Recently I've been popping in my Jack Johnson CD, Brushfire Fairytales. My roommate John from LVC used to listen to it all the time. In the past few days, the song The News has really hit me. Below I post a video made with the song in the background, and the words. It pretty much speaks for itself, so I'm not going to bother to go into any detail. Just watch and listen.



A billion people died on the news tonight
But not so many cried at the terrible sight
Well mama said
It's just make believe
You can't believe everything you see
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight

Who's the one to decide that it would be alright
To put the music behind the news tonight
Well mama said
You can't believe everything you hear
The diagetic world is so unclear
So baby close your ears
On the news tonight
To the news tonight

The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight
And mama said
Mmm

Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes
Mama said
It's just make believe
You cant believe everything you see
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
On the news tonight
