I saw Ingrid Michaelson this weekend at Basilica Block Party - one of the coolest outdoor concerts of the year.  The show bills itself as the party of a higher order.  You literally party right on the church grounds.  

The weather was amazing and the people were fabulous.  But Ingrid rocked my world.  Every song is better than the last.  I had goosebumps for about three minutes straight when she announced that two people both emailed her to say they wanted to propose to each other at her concert.  Normally, I despise public proposals.  But since this couple was completely in sync with each other and you knew the answer it was perfect.  And then Ingrid launched into The Way I Am.


And I can't get this song out of my head.  L.O.V.E. it.





YOU AND I

Written by Ingrid Michaelson

Don't you worry there my honey
We might not have any money
But we've got our love to pay the bills

Maybe I think you're cute and funny
Maybe I wanna do what bunnies do with you if you know what I mean

Oh lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I

Well you might be a bit confused
And you might be a little bit bruised
But baby how we spoon like no one else
So I will help you read those books
If you will soothe my worried looks
And we will put the lonesome on the shelf

Lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I

Lets get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Lets get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Lets get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I

Thank you, Ingrid!
