 *** Errrr, something I'm working on. About to watch The Red Sox. Lord help them win this game. Listening to Putumayo presents: Latin Jazz. Watched the RHCP Lollapalooza '16 live cast and again on re-play. Well, that blows. The game is on a freezed channel. Some guy is stuck on a horse at a rodeo. Thank you cable provider. God wants me to finish this. Maybe this isn't a song? Maybe this is a poem? Watching the Marlins vs. Cardinals game. Bottom of the ninth and the score is tied at four. The Marlins end up winning via a walk-off win. I got to watch the game in the 5th. I stopped watching when the Angels scored. I found Farrell being thrown out pretty entertaining. Boston ended up winning with five runs in the ninth, on umbrella hat day. Yay! Red Sox (57 - 46) 

[update 8/6/16] Well, at least I have a song title now.
[update 8/14/16] Another draft 

 V1 - Indigo orange blue indigo orange blue, I'm in love with you sunrise over Honolulu 
45s from I'm beside you 
forming an artistic expression 
walking contradiction keep guessing 
bless your heart 
not worth the sinning in Chucktown 
another shooting another city on lockdown 
Boston slugger bp in Anaheim thank you Papi, to your health l'chaim 
third cup of coffee lights dim so pretty 
freezing (ass) in the morning surf of Honoliʻi 
grey stream water a place I once called home 
pancakes below air traffic never alone 
headshot caught on photochrome 

 Pre-Chorus: pretty little Carmen pretty little Dave here's to pretty little matches made and unmade back to the real ballgame did it unfreeze you tell me 

Chorus: Vallentine Valley 
love with a cowboy raised a family 
just us Wright pitching Tek catching (...León or Holaday. Varitek is my favorite. Hold on to that knuckler, Tek.) 
writing you verses, verses, verses just writing you verses 

V2: He is my one love and I tell him so 
built me a pie safe and bookcase 
down on one knee name the time and place
meteor shower on Mauna Kea 
battle mastermind General Leia 
I say grazie he says prego 
give it up for Amber G. Gallego 
Runyon canyon face-lift 
home team infield shift 
bullpen can't hold the lead 
inspiring baby Creed 

 V3: back to church praying for victory 
praying for my misdeeds 
do you have to have dimples to QB this team?
Garoppolo on Thursday 
Ichiro speaks english 3k 
bikini drying in the Summer twilight 
romance dance appetite
it was more than you'll do, love at third sight
fifth sight? tenth sight?
all that matters is that we found each other
