Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise

In the Fall of 2007 I ventured into the Southern California desert to work on the land and find myself. I found myself, some of my closest friends, and some amazing great music. I attended the Joshua Tree Roots Music Festival and the last band on Sunday was the Avett BRothers; a band I hadn't heard of until that day. It was love at first sight, listen, feeling. I saw them in 2007, 2008, and 2009 but wasn't able to see them this year. Unless I can make it to Asheville, North Carolina for New Year's Eve I won't see them this year. But that's ok; there's always next year.

They are one of those bands I've listened to so much that I know the words without knowing I do and sometimes the right lyrics pop into my head at just the right situation. I've been having a great time until late last night, but after the help of a great friend, I feel in higher spirits today.

My goal for this coming week is to get an interview, if not a job. Tomorrow morning I am going to get up early, get dressed nicely, and go to temp agencies. We'll see how it goes. Tomorrow is also follow up day with places I've applied to, some in person, some by phone. Wish me luck.

Once I made Mixed Cd diaries and I think I should start that again. This song would be on it definitely.

Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise by the Avett Brothers



There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it

When nothing is owed or deserved or expected
And your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected
If you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it

There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There’s a darkness upon you that’s flooded in light
And in the fine print they tell you what’s wrong and what’s right
And it flies by day and it flies by night
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it

There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it
