Loving To Be “Tired of Being Sorry”

We were in a store the other day doing a little shopping when I heard a really catchy song on the in-store system. In an unbreakable trance I made my way to the nearest speaker and listened for a bit before realizing I need to find out what/who it was. Luckily I have Shazam on my iPhone, so I held it up and recorded/tagged it. Shazam is a MUST HAVE. The song is called “Tired of Being Sorry”.

Not being much of an Enrique Iglesias fan at all, it pains me to say that I can’t get enough of this song. Lisa and I have played it probably 50 times in the last several days. It was written by a guy named Scott Thomas, the lead singer of the band Ringside. (For you Brothers and Sisters fans, Balthazar Getty is the keyboardist and other half of Ringside). Iglesias knows a catchy money-making single when he hears one, so he put it on an album, which attracted this French-Algerian track-star-turned-pop-star Nadiya to do a duet version, which you can see in the video below. I also like the original Ringside version, find various live versions on YouTube. The excellent Ringside version music video was directed by Joaquin Phoenix and is also farther below.

Enjoy at your own risk. If you have addictive genes, better to bypass this one.

Bike Saturday

They blocked off some major roads in manhattan today for bike and walking traffic only. We took advantage of the reduced chance of death and rode from the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park and all the way around the park.

Now we’re taking the west side bike path back home. We stopped for lunch at this new place by the Circle Line cruise dock. Here’s Lisa relaxing while we wait for our food.

Excellent Gelato

Our friend Michelle introduced us to this place called Grom (Broadway and about 76th). Very smooth and very busy/trendy/silly.

Snack before Mama Mia

She loves Frosted Flakes. Don’t we all.
