This song has been playing over and over at home, in my head, and in my car for the past week or so. For some reason, I at first thought it was referencing the nursery rhyme ("Ashes, ashes, we all fall down"), so when I looked up the lyrics and figured out what he was talking about, it just made me happy.

I did some switching around over at BlogSpot. (Almost) Professional English Nerd's URL got changed to rularejoenglish. I know. It's a horrible name. I panicked. But it doesn't really matter since it hasn't been updated since March and is currently locked from view ( Read more... )
