A few days ago I was browsing around the itunes music store when a song popped into my head. I quickly typed "Domestic Problems" in the search engine and hit enter. I didn't expect the song I wanted to be listed, after all it wasn't this past spring. As I anxiously scrolled through the listed songs I found it. I played the preview (why is it a preview, I'm just listening) and was disappointed, not the version I wanted. Then I sorted the songs by title... there in the list was the title of the song I was looking for, three of them. Three versions of my second favorite song in the world. One of the three listed had that all important word behind it, acoustic. Without hesitation I bought the 6minute and 40second song "Untitled". I was elated, I jumped up and down, I did 'the-happy-white-girl-dance' then I synced my pod. I promptly marched into the living room plugged the pod into the stereo, cranked it up and sang along...twice!

I can tell you the story
battles never won
people standing blindly
out of reach of the sun

And I'm telling you
that I am in love woah
I am in love
I am in love
with a girl that
holds me with her eyes

voices surround me
bicker and i shame(?)
I wish with a passion
why can’t she feel the same

and I'm telling you that
I am in love woah
I am in love
I am in love
with a girl that
holds me with her eyes

trying to be a friend
and maybe that it'll be
I know what i feel inside
please see the beauty in me woah
please see the beauty in me woah
please see the beauty in me...

my heart feels empty
soul shakin' pain
I wish I could hold her
man I lose but I gain

and I'm telling you that
I am in love woah
I am in love
I am in love
with a girl that
holds me with her eyes
and I'm telling you that
I am in love woah
I am in love
I am in love
with a girl that
holds me with her eyes woah
holds me with her eyes woah
holds me with her eyes...

Domestic Problems Untitled

My friend Patti and I would sit in her mom's hot tub and sing our favorite songs. This was one of the songs we would sing often times more than once. I don't remember the first time I heard it or how long I've known it, I just feel that I alway have. I sing it in the shower, I sing it when I shovel snow, rake leaves, or while mowing the lawn. I sing it when I am in a hot tub with or without Patti. I, like Patti, write the lyrics on my note pad rather than doodling. This song is a part of me.
