New Music Tuesday from Bobby Long

'hide yours, i'll hide mine'

Hide yours I’ll hide mine

By Bobby Long



I was riding high on the wings of love

Like I child I couldn’t want enough

Then you spurn your words you told me things

Because you laid out all your offerings



Sorry but I didn’t mean to be quiet

Sorry if I don’t have the eyes to hide it

Sorry if I can’t forget the time

Just hide your and I’ll hide mine



Pleasant needs were torn of a man in love

Chased by ghost less past cradled by the dove

See you’re my dove with an unbreakable wing

It’s not your clarity but the rotten sting

You’re my eastern path, my homeward bound

You’re my innocent and my lost and found

So you spurn your words and you tell me things

Please don’t lay out all your offerings



Sorry but I didn’t mean to be quiet

Sorry if I don’t have the words to hide it

Sorry if I can’t forget the time

Just hide yours and I’ll hide mine

Sorry but I didn’t mean to be quiet

Sorry if I don’t have the words to hide it

Sorry if I can’t forget the time

Just hide yours and I’ll hide mine



Just forget yours and I’ll keep mine

Two Nights with Marcus Foster

Meet Marcus Foster

All my Marcus Foster alerts are about Marcus comments regarding his best friend. Screw the friend its all about Marcus (disclaimer: I think his FRIEND is adorable but this is about Marcus)!! Hey audience attendees did you not enjoy the deliciousness that is Marcus Foster? Did they even pay attention to the way that man plays a guitar? WTF people get your head out of the sand and pay attention, I have a story about a man name Marcus, and he hails from London. He finally made a trek to the United States and played at the Hotel Café in Los Angeles for the first time this past Friday & Saturday evening. And let me tell you it was an experience I will never forget.

Ami has been waiting for Marcus to come to the Los Angeles for awhile. All through the show she was completely giddy and singing along. We both were in awe by the time we got in line to speak with him. We aked who he'd like to do a duet with but he had so many names he couldn't choose. He did say he would love to work with Tom Waits since he's his biggest influence but would be too nervous to talk. Yah Marcus we know the feeling.

I thought this picture was so cute I had to include it. He's just seems like one of those guys you would love to have a beer with and joke around.

Like most people I was unfamiliar with Marcus Foster’s music I knew he was one of the co-writers for Twilight’s Let Me Sign but other than that nothing. And instead of going to his myspace page to familiarize myself I decided to wait to see him live when he played at the Hotel Café here in Los Angeles. Still on my high from Bobby Long Wednesday & Thursday night I was excited to see this guy everyone from Larrami to the ladies from the Land of Dreamers was raving out.
How do I describe Marcus Foster?.....He is James Dean and Bob Dylan with a Chris Martin twist all wrapped into one. If you loved Rob Pattinson and his style of music on the Twilight soundtrack then you NEED TO LISTEN TO MARCUS FOSTER. After one song I realized Marcus is who RPattz patterns himself after.
From the moment he walked on stage Marcus owned it, he had the audience captivated. I loved his charismatic antics on stages. In between songs he kept the crowd with witty banter but as he perform you were entranced with his words. I have to say most of the time I was just staring at his hands as he played the guitar and on Saturday night he played the piano for his Tom Waits cover. Yeah my mouth just about fell open at that point.
I'm sorry have we met? I'm Tammy and I'm a picture whore. Of course I got another picture with Marcus. I wanted to go home have a beer and pretend I could play the guitar just like him but we all know I can barely play a chord. This picture will keep me tide over until I see him next time. By the time the ladies from Twilight Sisterhood left we knew we were fans (sadly this fan lost her new Marcus Foster CD due to her drunken ways after the concert! URGH!).

Night One


Night Two

A night with Bobby Long

Even though I saw Bobby Long during last spring and thought he was very talented....ok I'll be honest....I thought he was EXTREMELY HOT & talened I was shocked to realize how much I just missed his music. Yes I have the CD but there is NOTHING like watching the man in person on stage with just his guitar. He has this intensity while he plays and I wonder if gets lost in his own world then suddenly remembers he needs to sing. Someone at my table stated its hard to believe he's in his early 20's. I just replied its because he's an Old Soul, he's not like most people his age. And that is the best way to describe Bobby and his music.

I remember reading a review of Bobby's cd Dirty Pond Songs and the reviewer said it wasn't your typical lyrics but more like musical poetry....Never thought of it that way but kind of true. And with that review fresh in my mind I watched Bobby in whole new light and to say I was memorized is an understatement. I sat there thinking each song provokes some emotion from me whether remembering a lost love when I hear 'Who Have You Been Loving' to "Dead and Gone" to remind me life is too short and be happy and appreciate those in my life. Everyone hears something different, I just appreciate his words.

And sometimes it shocks me that not everyone knows who Bobby Long is. I know I'm thinking too far ahead. I met several ladies who were seeing him for the first time and were estatic to finally see him and could barely contain themselves. I did meet someone who say him play in London was happy he was here while she was vacationing in Los Angeles. Another lady from that group traveled from from San Francisco area to see him and planned to see him play later in the week. I wish I could see him play in SF or ATL.

Me and Bobby after he signed my shirt.

No I'm not angry nor do I walk around with my mouth wide open. I was actually joking around with Bobby.as he was writing on my back I said 'I feels like I'm getting a tattoo', I turned to look at him and asked if he had any tattoos and he would neither confirm nor deny such a thing.

"Tammy I like your shirt, Bobby Long" ::sigh:: okay when I saw Bobby I told him I bought this particular shirt just for his concert, it was an aged white tee with the british flag from Forever21. I asked him to sign it since I will never wear it again. He gave me a peculiar look and nervously aksed where do you want me to sign it? I told him where ever he felt comfortable. (I really didnt want him to be uncomfortable and would have NEVER asked him to sign in the boob area, so NOT me) He was a good sport about the signing my shirt.

Vanessa and Bobby Long

Vanessa buys one of Bobby's new shirt and asks him to sign it (can I say the new merchandise is HELLA CUTE!! They have a tote bag I need to get for $10) and of course he was cool and started signing when A.D.D. Cyn strolls over and says to Bobby "She likes to be called Sexy Bitch", he grinned and said 'Yeah?" and proceeds to write Sexy Bitch on her shirt. Gotta luv the guy!

The Final result...it's so CUTE!! I loved it when I saw it! So don't go copying! Vaness is the ORIGINAL SEXY BITCH!!

All in all the night was good. I got to spend time with my sisters from Twilight Sisterhood and the ladies from Land of Dreamers, even TS Blogger WearingWords made an appearance but had to dash to the 100Monkey show arcoss town. I'm going to catch Bobby's final show here in Los Angeles, then head down to the 100Monkey show @ the Viper Room. If you're at either show please stop me and say hello!
