Who IS Better Than Ezra?

This afternoon after a relaxing mani-pedi, massage, yogurt with fresh mango & strawberries and water with a squeeze of fresh lemon,feeling wonderfully ethereal I started getting ideas.

Music, old photographs. posterity. We have boxes and shelves full of CDs. Cases full of vinyls. Tubs of photographs tucked away here and there. Not all in the same room. I've been hunting for my Junior Prom table shot. Its one of those photographs you run across every few years and laugh at, sigh, reminisce. I look at myself in that silly peasant dress, flowers in my hair and for some odd reason, elbow length white gloves and think about that kid. Why'd she have to come down off Sugar Mountain?

I found the nearly perfect CD that I almost forgot about. Now, this band has since put out 8 collections since, in fact I believe they've a new offering out next month. But this one...this first group by Better Than Ezra, Deluxe, released in 1995, when my life completely changed became my life's theme for a good while. Give it a listen, don't forget the Kleenex.

Well, there's a feeling in the air
Just like a Friday afternoon.
Yeah, you can go there if you want
Though it fades too soon.

So go on, let it be.
If there's a feeling coming over me,
Seems like it's always understood this time of year.

Well, I know there's a reason to change.
Well, I know there's a time for us.
You think about the good times
And you live with all the bad.
You can feel it in the air,
Feeling right this time of year.

So go on with yourself
If there's a feeling that there's something else.
Seems like it's always understood
This time of year.
