Surfing  has been down for a couple of days and so last night we took Third Party off to see Regina Spektor. It was awesome and some much needed light relief. Regina Spektor, for those who don't know plays whimsical and folk-punk type stuff. Think Duke Special meeting Patti Smith. She plays piano, keyboard and electric guitar with and without a band. Unfortunately one of the band had recently passed away and she was obviously still grieving when she explained this, as she left the stage. Oh and the support...well quite frankly not worth mentioning because she was well......best not to say, which is why I'm not naming her. Leaving with you this You Tube version of Laughing which includes the lyrics. It's one of those songs which those of us trying to get our head around where God fits into the post-Christian world might find useful to reflect on, aswell as a good song.
