a treat for the chocolate lovers

There is no denying that I love chocolate - a lot.  And for that reason, it is my pleasure to share with you Amy Kuney's new song, Chocolate.  She wrote it in honor of Lynn Lasher, the founder of Somebody's Mother's Chocolate Sauce because Lynn has helped Amy immensely with her career.

It's such a cute and clever little song, I really think you'll enjoy it.  I've posted the lyrics below.

In the morning, Goodbye kisses
And all the misters kiss the misses
Before leaving for the office 
But we're not grieving 
We've got chocolate 
And I'd choose it over you Any day... 

I say Diamonds You can't afford um
So I say mansions 
You say mortgage 
We start to argue 
I say "You win" 
You have your victory 
I have my chocolate 
And I'd chose it over you 
Any day... 

I'm leaving traces 
Dirty Spoons 
I'm getting careless 
And pretty soon 
You're gonna catch me in the act 
and We'll try couples therapy 
I know that won't help 
Cuz if she's a woman 
She'll agree with me 

It's been a hard day 
at the office 
So I'll surprise you 
In my lace pajamas 
But before things 
Get hot and heavy 
I hear you snoring 
You're fast asleep 
So in the darkness 
I sneak to the kitchen 
Where my chocolate 
Has been hiding 
And I'd choose it over you 
Any day....

for the time being, a little sara

I know, I know.  I've been a horrible blogger despite the fact that I said I'd try harder to update this thing more often.  I apologize.

I have so much I want to say, but want to give considerable time to the blog entries.  So for now, I'll leave you with three songs that I simply can not get enough of.  They're all new songs by the one and only Sara Bareilles.  I love her to death and am so overwhelming glad that I was able to catch half of her set at Hotel Cafe on the last night of her Gravity tour this past Friday before racing over to see Amy Kuney at the Roxy.  It was pretty much a dream come true as two of my most favorite artists performed the same night and I had the pleasure of seeing them both.

So for now, here are three new lovely songs by Sara.  The first is August Moon from Sara's DVD, Between the Lines - Live at the Fillmore - a great concert DVD.
The second is Gonna Get Over You from a performance at Joe's Pub in New York City on Feb.17.
And last, but definitely not least, is Sara performing Free Ride at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia on Feb. 23.  I was able to catch this song at Sara's show on Friday and have had it on repeat since then.
All of the songs are breathtakingly beautiful.  I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do.
