This came in last week, but I was saving it up, collecting "Things" I longed to tell you ... It's always things, isn't it?
Well, Paul Westerberg has released a new song!!!
As expected, Westerberg's soulful voice, prolific lyrics and sentiments once again, cut through the glare in your life.
This one brings you back to the reality that just maybe you can do things on your own and still be happy.
I digress, to the top of the porch, to the top of the wall! Download this song, it's a gift from Paul!

The Replacements frontman keeps his consistent voice, and works this song with beautiful piano pieces that songwriter Kevin Bowe notes is a 'turn of the century Steinway' model, giving it a vintage sound.
Take a listen ... and head down your own road ... you'll get there, eventually ...
Paul Westerberg – My Road Now Lyrics
All you ever wanted to be was brave
Kids couldn't call you chicken
Hear your name shouted on the street today
It's guaranteed to make your pulse quicken
And they call your name out from the road
That would mean the road is led to England
So where ever it takes you, yeah, you're goin'
You can guess but you should already know
This is my road now and you can hit it, baby
I don't care when you go
This is my road now and you can it honey
No sense in sticking if your heart can't quicken any better than that
One day they call your name on the street
And your skin is thickened
You won't know where the money went
You ain't broke, but you're badly bent
This is my road now and you can hit it, baby
I don't care where you go
This is my road now and you can it, honey
Hit is like it owes you a whole lotta money
This is my road now and you can hit it, honey
Hit it like it owes you a whole lotta money

And special thanks to my friend, Glenn, for Pleased to Meet Me, back in the day. I'll write you a letter tomorrow ...
