Music Monday-
This meme was created by Drew @ The Tattooed Book Geek. You pick a song that you really like and share it on Monday.
Last week I shared:
Today’s share:
Alice in Chains
“Don’t Follow” and “No Excuses”
“No Excuses”
Lyrics:
It’s alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin’ low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I’ve sold
Everyday it’s something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin’ by myself
No excuses, then I know
It’s okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it’s funny, well
You’re drowning in it too
Everyday it’s something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin’ by myself
No excuses, then I know
Yeah, it’s fine
We’ll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway
Everyday it’s something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin’ by myself
No excuses, then I know
These come from one of my favorite albums:
Jar Of Flies
Thanks for checking out Music Monday! Have a great week.

Nice choice! No Excuses is one of my favs. I have the Jar of Flies CD, but think my youngest took it – clearly I’ve raised him to have discriminating taste.

Me too, Michael. I’m glad we have so much in common with our music tastes. It was such a great era and I’m happy I was a teen in the 90s. 😉

LOVE LOVE LOVE Alice in Chains! Brings back some wonderful and poignant memories of my dear and adored first love, who sadly passed away a couple of months ago. He was
one hell of a terrific musician himself and turned me onto Alice in Chains, as well as Jane’s Addiction and Soundgarden. Such a heartbreaking loss. Thank you for this post, Jen. 🙂

Vanessa, how incredibly sad. I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you’re doing okay.
AIC brings back some strong memories for me and not all good ones. Like Michael said though, what an amazing era. It’s one I’m so appreciative to have experienced. Take care, friend. Thinking of you. ❤

It really was a seminal time in my life, for you too, it seems. I am doing all right, but having lost my mom just a few months back and then losing another person I loved so much and who had such an influence in my life has been difficult. I love your music posts as always, and I appreciate your kindness. 🙂

Great share Jenn, these bring back memories. We had a few Alice in Chains on our playlist for driving down to Florida, No Excuses was one of them.

My husband is a super fan and he plays the band for us at home. We even managed to see them last year in Zagreb.

He always says that too and that it’s not the same. But the band was still awesome to watch and listen to.
