50 - Righteous Dollar Bills

Last summer there was a trailer for the movie, Horrible Bosses.  I have to admit, the concept seemed funny, and I really like Charlie Day on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  But more than the movie was a bit of music used toward the end.

There was something about it that just really grabbed my attention.  So I went to the trusty internets and downloaded it.  I didn't see the movie until is hit RedBox, and it wasn't that memorable.  But, at least it brought me to this song:

Song 50

        "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" from the band's self-titled album, Cage the Elephant
It's not a song that strikes me as profoundly as a Mumford & Sons song, nor does it take me on a great adventure.  But it has the driving, keep moving, commonality push to it.  It just feels like, "any other day."  There is some comfort in that.

And that is something I tend to need at this point in the season.  The leaves are mostly gone, the sun spends more and more time hiding behind grey skies, and the cold really starts to get into the bones.  Not that I dislike any of those things...but it's a check to remind you that winter is coming.  No Game of Thrones pun intended.  But I'll take it.

That's it.  Just a simple story for a simple song.  Enjoy!

grace, peace + hope
