That's the way it's meant to be!!

I don't know if you know this, but I love the band The Features. They're local to Middle TN, primarily the town I went to college in (Murfreesboro). Everyone there knows who they are. Everyone has seen a poster somewhere. Most people out there have seen them live at one point or another, whether on MTSU campus or in a local pub.

One thing for sure, I love their music, hard core. The lead singer always writes about his own experiences with his life, his wife, and his twin daughters (who are stinkin' adorable by the way!). I decided I wanted to share with you all one of my favorite songs by The Features. It's called "That's The Way It's Meant To Be" and it's his love song to his twins. I love it. It's sweet, real, and meaningful. The best part is the song delivery is straight up indie rock. You'd half expect this to be a sweet slow song based on the lyrics, but nooooo. I like the song delivery much better. If you can, look it up on iTunes. You won't be disappointed.

Little fingers!
Little toes!
Little tempers that come and go!
It's the little things that matter most
Like the monograms on your clothes
Gonna stand right by your side
wipe your nose and dry your eyes
Zip your dress and tie your shoes, there's nothing I won't do
Gonna love you 'til I die, cause I'm yours and you are mine
And that's the way it's meant to be!

Call a doctor! Call a king!
Someone to witness all the joy you bring
Oh, my love you’re such a beautiful sight
Just wanna hold you and squeeze you tight!
Gonna take you by the hand, try to make you understand
Take you everywhere I go, teach you everything I know
We can laugh until we cry, 'cause I'm yours and you are mine
And that's the way it's meant to be

One happy accident
Two little rays of light
Love is all we need
Everything is alright

Gonna tuck you in tonight
Fall asleep right by your side
Take a swift kick in the head, may you push me out of bed
Steal the cover, I don't mind, 'cause I'm yours and you are mine
And that's the way it's meant to be!
