Since I joined steemit I have tried to write a post or two each and every single day.  Today and yesterday however was a particularly hard day at the office which when combined with the sleep deprivation from the past 3 days  makes a really bad combination when you try to write something well researched that is more than 100-200 words.. So instead I will just share a song that has stuck to my head since yesterday. I just love the power, the emotion and the energy it emits..And the voice.. I love the voice:

In case this is the first time you hear about them, "Trampled By Turtles is an American bluegrass/folk-rock band from Duluth, Minnesota." If you liked what you heard make sure to check them up on youtube, they have some really good stuff there.

Lyrics

I could never pretend that I don't love you.
You could never pretend that I'm your man.
That's exactly the way that I want it.
That's exactly the way that I am.

And you call me in the morning with your troubles
Takin' it downtown every night
I could never place the stars at night above ya.
I got my hands on the ground,
And you know I'm right.

You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long
You wait so long

It's a coffee stained earth ever time it happens.
Liven up honey it ain't that bad.
Any afterthought rose to recognition
Like every other coffin that I had

And your Buick broke down in Winnemucca,
Fall to your knees and you pray to the lord
Then you take up hope at the politicians:
Nothing happens in this burnt out town anymore.

You wait so long
You wait…

Here's another goodie one:
