Music Monday -- Sean Watkins "Carousel"

Sean is 1/3 of Nickel Creek, one of my favorite bands.  I even featured them on Music Monday a few months back.  It would be logical to think that if I love Nickel Creek, I would love his solo stuff.  And I absolutely do!  It's a bit different, but you can definitely get the bluegrass influence in the background.  He is also a part of Fiction Family with Jon Foreman of Switchfoot.  I picked this song, because it is forever getting stuck in my head.  Enjoy getting it stuck in your head today!

Lyrics (my favorite lines in bold):

One more time around, I can't stop this carousel I've tried so long to no avail I've tried each horse on here, still no new scenery I'm dizzy, my stomach's sick, and I'm tired This I know, horses gold, won't take me home

Each horse here is painted so pretty

Lifeless beauties that orbit neatly

I see you go flying by, I've worn my heels down On this game of tug-o-war I'm loosingStepping down, kiss the ground that will take me home

Unfortunately, no video that I could find... So here's one from Fiction Family, just to entice you to listen more!
