Sheryl Crow on Wanting What You’ve Got
Posted by Lise on 28 Aug 2007 at 04:41 pm | Tagged as: frugality, voluntary simplicity
The next time the radio digs it up, pay attention to the lyrics of Sheryl Crow’s “Soak Up the Sun.”. You’ll be surprised by the message of voluntary simplicity this song sends:
It’s not having what you want
It’s wanting what you’ve got
Apparently Sheryl Crow attracted quite a bit of attention this year when she forwarded the suggestion that a limitation be put on how much toilet paper is used. She and No-Impact Man should together. I’m sure they would have plenty to talk about.
What’s playing on your voluntary simplicity/frugality radio?

“We get the dreams that we deserve
The magazines that we deserve
Page one and three that we deserve
The joy and the pain that we deserve
The sun and the rain that we deserve
The material gain that we deserve
We get what we deserve.”

It’s really good to see you rocking out and having fun
Living like you’ve just begun
Accept your life and what it brings
