Episode 167: Light Up My Room 







It’s getting dark out there right now, but that is okay because my cohosts, my guest, and this song help to light up my room!  Thank you for joining us again, David Kincannon!

Ed Robertson & Tyler Stewart Of Barenaked Ladies Stop By To Discuss “Fake Nudes” 

This week’s episode is the longest yet.  I mean, we have to sum up all of “Life” in a nutshell.  That can’t be done quickly.  Luckily, we have some pretty deep souls joining us this week, as JD and Nick from Barenaked Ladies Are Us decide, that even though they have finished all the BNL albums, they would come back to discuss this song with us.

Sorry, We’re Clothed: An exclusive interview with Barenaked Ladies | 14850 

That’s right… we messed up. I missed a deep cut song and Trevor Cox was there to correct me, so he gets to come and discuss this song with us.

We discussed a song about drug dealers at a convenience store last week. This week we take a more positive view on life, as Mil helps us to reflect on the uplifting message from Kevin on this B-side in an era when B-sides no longer exist.

The lyrics:







You’re looking down at the ground







Your plans are in tatters







There’s no time to lose







You’ve got to choose what really matters(chorus)







Let there be light in your life again







Let there be light in your life again







Your rotten luck







I mean really what were the chances







Let’s make no sound







Let’s lie on the ground Look up through the branches(chorus)







And Let there be light in your life againLet there be light in your life again







(Bridge)







If your heart is heavy, and you’re alone







Feelin’ lost in the honeycomb (you ate a whole box of honeycombs)







you can call me, you can call me, you can call me, I’ll be (home?)I am at home







There’s so much darkness,







So much bizarreness and commotion







Your shipwrecked dream may be at the bottom of the oceanCheap souvenirs. Won’t you help me clear out all of this clutter







Too many tears for too many years







Why lose another?(chorus)







Let there be light in your life again







Let there be light in your life againLet there be light in your life again (in your life)Let there be light in your life again

Welcome to 7-11. How may I help you today? You want Barenaked Ladies songs from 7 to Y? I’m sorry. Disco music? Nope. It sucks. We only sell dope. Not what you are looking for? Well, I guess you can listen to us discuss this Rheostatics cover by Barenaked Ladies instead.
