Another Shawn Colvin. Trouble.

One of my favorite Shawn Colvin songs, which is saying a lot. I don't know exactly why thing song speaks to me. But it does. Lyrics here, and I'm gonna highlight my all time favorite verse. The album version has all kinds of instrumentation and and production and it's lovely, but it's very percussive. Reproducing that sound and feel with just a guitar, is pretty amazing:

Baby let me set you down
You look so troubled and I think I know
Just when you think you've come around
There you go


Now I know the business of the heart
And it'll get you anyway it can
You need someone to walk with in the dark, well
I'm your man


I go to the trouble like a magnet
That's where I'll be
Trouble is just a place to sing
It's what you need


I swear you look like you're in jail
And all at once you're halfway out the door
One foot dancing, one foot nailed
To the floor


Chasing those circles in the ground
The same old **** is still the same old lie
Just when you think you've got it down
Watch it fly


I go to the trouble like a light
Or like a dare
Trouble is just a friend to me, I know
It'll always be there


It's really hard to make your peace
So give me some credit for the hell I've paid
This world's a blessing and a beast
Everyday


So come on baby let me show you how
The less you know the more I comprehend
You don't have to drag me down
I descend


I go to the trouble and I like it
That's where I'll be
Trouble is just like love, if it's half the way
It's all I can see
And it's just what you need

Can anyone tell me why my videos no longer load as videos? It always worked before. Now, it always shows up as a link at the bottom of my post. Any help?? :crushed:

If you're not, you must click on the image of film above the box in which to enter your text. Then, paste the YouTube address in the window and press OK. Alternatively, paste a YouTube video with capitalized VIDEO in square brackets before, and /VIDEO in square brackets after the address.

Yeah, I've been doing that for years! Never had a problem until recently.... confusing. Oh well, a link works too.....
