lyrics

one two ready go...

oh i know that you were made
because you have a belly button
and if it's true your made
well then you must be made for something

for the keyboards that you play
for the crayons and the brushes
you've made each one a place
in the world you've built around us

but your bodies weren't made to last forever
and your hearts are not perpetual machines
but you choose to love each day
because it's how we're made
and love is what survives us when we leave

and the best thing that you've made
so far is a decision
to stand up here today
you and your officiant

and first the match was made
and then the band of silver
and now the vows exchanged
oh blessed are the builders

for their bodies weren't made to last forever
and their hearts are not perpetual machines
but they choose to love each day because that's how they're made
and love is what survives us when we leave

oh let's choose to love each day
because that's how we're made
and love is what survives us when we leave

That's That And The What's What
by That's That And The What's What

Friends and sometimes TWT collaborators set out to make a "classic rock" album but got lost along the way. Favorite Track: Aviator Shades. The Wiggly Tendrils

No. 1 - (Limited Edition Single)
by A Severe Joy

Ok, you have to buy their Limited Edition Single - Mono Plexi-discs. It's a series, so if it's sold out then check back. The music is amazing, and the packaging is top notch. I highly recommend it. The Wiggly Tendrils

Capitol Limited EP
by Deirdre and Conor / Kitchen Table, Illinois

Becky and Gabe back up their dear friends Conor and Deirdre Loughridge on three of their wonderful love songs; they return the favor on three of our weepy songs. We used a toy drum set! The Wiggly Tendrils
