    I'm sitting in front of my PC in my underwear comfortably preparing a PowerPoint presentation that is going to go terrible.

      I'm preparing one too but not comfortably though...despite doing this so many times I feel there is little or no improvement...why am I doing this? Found the same thoughts on the Web from a professor somewhere in Europe during the 17th century, struggling with his presentations and little believe in himself...I guess some people are just feeling this way about themselves and their capacity...

    Nice voice, and the instrumental really fits it.

    I'm listening to this right now because presented an awful presentation today. I made a fool of myself in front of the entire class. This song makes me feel better about my shitty presentation.

    Sounds Familiar on "Fallow."
    Left and Leaving on "Left and Leaving."
    ...Night Windows.
    ...Sun in an Empty Room.
    ...Tournament of Hearts.
    ...This is a Fire Door Never Leave Open.
    ...Heart of the Continent.
    And now this. Whatever stage I'm at in life, John Samson has a very timely song for it.

    • @grail68
      @grail68 7 років тому +6

      His songs tend to have recurring themes, and even recurring settings and characters to a degree. I'd suggest starting from the beginning with the "Fallow" album by the Weakerthans, and going from there.

    So your presentation went terrible
    All wrong dongles, sweat stains and stares
    Leave the TV on with the sound down low, in your underwear
    Don't despair, you'll get it right tomorrow night in Thunder Bay, maybe
    Don't delay, your day is short, you can't afford to wait
    I believe in you and your Powerpoint
    I know why you can't stay awake
    Out on Highway 1 with a rental car, and a lot to say
    Don't despair, you'll get it right tomorrow night in Nipigon, maybe
    Don't delay, our day is short, you can't afford to wait
    So take that laminate out of your wallet and read it
    And recommit yourself to the healing of the world
    And to the welfare of all creatures upon it
    Pursue a practice that will strengthen your heart
