Music you like... fug what they say!

I'm a fan of Hootie and the Blowfish. I'm also a fan of Darius Rucker. In the mid to late 80s (86 or 87, not sure on that) while a young Marine at Camp Lejeune, I met Darius while Hootie and the Blowfish were playing the bar scene in Chapel Hill, NC. He actually sat and had a beer with a few of us Marines at our table between sets. He's a real dude. Much respect.

This one is gonna take patience if you choose to watch. It's an hour long and it's with the writers of some of his top songs when he did Country. If you choose to watch, I promise you will enjoy.

 
One of the most profound songs that I have ever heard and the lyrics:

You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion.
By some people who've withdrawn to find their heads
Now they say that there is humor in misfortune
You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead

Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?

Hey, you know some people say that values are subjective,
But they're just speaking words that someone else has said.
And so they live and fight and kill with no objective.
Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead.

Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?

Yeah, you know I used to weave my words into confusion.
And so I hope you'll understand me when I 'm through
You know I used to live my life as an illusion,
But reality will make my dreams come true.

So I'll keep fighting to live till there's no reason to fight
And I'll keep trying to see until the end is in sight
You know I'm trying to give so see'mon give me a try
You know I'm dying to live until I'm ready
'til I'm ready ..
'til I'm ready ..
'til I'm ready to die
