Brand new feature here at one thing new: Top Five Friday. Each Friday, I’ll post a five-song playlist with links (eventually) to the iTunes music store so you can create the mix yourself.
Today I’ll list my top five songs for a Sunday afternoon. But first, let me explain. The Sunday afternoon I’m talking about is the aimless sort of day when all you want to do is look at your old yearbooks or photo albums. It’s that reflective Sunday afternoon when the grass has been cut and the laundry has been folded, and all that’s left is yourself and your mind and your music. That’s what I’m shooting for; here goes:

As you get older, time has a way of nipping at your heels. You look back at your life, and it feels like a tick on the clock. So when you get to the middle of your life, you realize you’ve just got one tick left. I think that’s what this song is saying. Or it could just be a guy in a jail cell thinking about the world passing him by while he’s incarcerated. I prefer the former interpretation.
So there you have a mini-mix for a very specific kind of Sunday Afternoon. I hope you’ll try it out. I recommend a tall glass of sweet (not too sweet) tea and maybe a solo drive through the country. It’ll clear your head.
