Indigo Girls - HAMMER AND NAIL free for downloading

So LOVE these artist.........for the past 30 years.

Clearing webs from the hovel a blistered hand on the handle of a shovel I've been digging too deep, I always do. I see my face on the surface I look a lot like narcissus A dark abyss of an emptiness Standing on the edge of a drowning blue. I look behind my ears for the green Even my sweat smells clean Glare off the white hurts my eyes Gotta get out of bed get a hammer and a nail Learn how to use my hands, not just my head I think myself into jail Now I know a refuge never grows From a chin in a hand in a thoughtful pose Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose. I had a lot of good intentions Sit around for fifty years and then collect a pension, Started seeing the road to hell and just where it starts. But my life is more than a vision The sweetest part is acting after making a decision I started seeing the whole as a sum of its parts. My life is part of the global life I'd found myself becoming more immobile When I'd think a little girl in the world can't do anything. A distant nation my community A street person my responsibility If I have a care in the world I have a gift to bring.

A simple message presented in lyrics that flow so well and resonate so much. Couple that with a hell-of-a-hook melody and there you have it...just another Indigo Girls masterpiece!

"Not just my head, I'll think myself into jail ..." Loved this when it came out - appreciate it even more now.

Transparent brought me here!

One of (many) of my all-time fave IG songs. Inspires me every time I hear it.

Hey Myles Jarvis I seriously doubt that you could turn Emily straight and Amy would have you for lunch and kick your ass for even suggesting such a thing!

WORDS TO LIVE BY

Ah, the song that made me a fan. I first heard this when driving home from work, listening to BBC radio's 'Roundtable', a review programme originally begun by Emperor Rosko (remember him? - now my age is showing). Got home and bored the proverbials off my wife enthusing about the song. Anyway, went out the next day, bought the album and fell in love with the Indigo Girls, as did the missus. A lot of good stuff from the girls since then, but this is still one of our favourites.

And I think about how Christians should be. Willing to break a sweat for someone who needs a little help.

The Indigo Girls create joy in my heart! Always have!

find self feeling more immobile, when I think a little girl in the world can't do anything

love love love this one. Indigo Girls - Hammer And A Nail

This is my favorite Indigo Girl song of all time. Emily is a great songwriter. She is so cute in this video.

When I hear this song, I think about Habitat for Humanity!

Gayly I claim with this smile, as I look at u straightly in the eye, these girl's have great talent! Go stereotype THAT!!! :-) Rock on Indigo!

I'm a manly Jarhead Marine and I've digged theses girls since my MSU days of 92' Food for the spirit. Thought about many references my two times in the Stan. There hasn't been many 'artists' who impress me. Hot, dazzling? Sexy. It's shit. It's a can of tuna on the shelf. I dig these girls.

Emily has one of the most amazing voices.

Backing vocals by Mary-Chapin Carpenter.

Love this song, takes me back to a place in the 90's. I felt stronger then. Listening it to it now remains an inspiration to me.
