O, Anna Sun!

So this post doesn't really have anything to do with progress on the house. Nor does the video have anything to do with rebuilding an old farm house.

However, I have always liked this song and the lyrics have taken on an expanded meaning for me the further we dive into the renovation. I considered bold font for the lyrics that remind me most of the house and the project, but it's probably obvious and easier to highlight those that don't, so I've left it alone. The song was written at a conflicting time - the end of college and the start of true adult life. In relation to the house, the song for me describes the status now, the destruction, the hard work, and the potential it holds.

So enjoy, "Anna Sun" by Walk the Moon.

"Anna Sun"

Screen falling off the door door hanging off the hinges
My feet are still sore my back is on the fringes
We tore up the walls we slept on couches
We lifted this house we lifted this house

Fire-crackers in the east my car parked south
Your hands on my cheeks your shoulder in my mouth
I was up against the wall on the west mezzanine
We rattle this town we rattle this scene

O, Anna Sun!
O, Anna Sun!

What do you know? this house is falling apart
What can I say? this house is falling apart
We got no money, but we got heart
We're gonna rattle this ghost town
This house is falling apart

Screen falling off the door door hanging off the hinges
My feet are still sore my back is on the fringes
We were up against the wall on the west mezzanine
We rattle this town we rattle this scene

O, Anna Sun!
O, Anna Sun!

What do you know? this house is falling apart
What can I say? this house is falling apart
We got no money, but we got heart
We're gonna rattle this ghost town

What do you know? this house is falling apart
What can I say? this house is falling apart
We got no money, but we got heart
We're gonna rattle this ghost town
This house is falling apart

This house is falling apart

Live my life without
Station wagon rides
Fumbling around the back
Not one seat belt on
Wait for summertime
Coming up for air
Now it's all a wash
Now it's all a wash

Live my life without
Coming up for air
Now it's all a wash
I want everyone
Racing down the hill
I am faster than you
Wait for summertime
Wait for summertime

O, Anna Sun!
O, Anna Sun!

Sun!

What do you know? this house is falling apart

We're gonna rattle this ghost town

What do you know? this house is falling apart

We're gonna rattle this ghost town

This house is falling apart
