The journey between the mind and the tongue

Soph has finally written about the speechlessly good The Swell Season concert, and posted this youtube of Say it To Me Now, which I am going to snitch. As Soph mentions, he sang this unplugged at the recent concert. At the first concert I went to in January 2009, the night began with Glen coming out on stage, standing in a spotlight and also singing this unplugged. And if you have seen the movie Once, it is of course how the movie begins too.

Glen starts this particular clip with a story from Chicago, that tells of the distance that sometimes exists between our mind and our tongue, when it comes to what we really want to say. Dan also put up this great post over the weekend, that is sort of relevant, that said something to me of the inhibition of uncertainty and self-protection. So, anyway, read the post and listen to the song and go and stand on a street corner (or maybe just look someone in the eye) and say something.
