The Girl and the Sea

This song came up on my iPod, and I swear I have never heard it before (although it already has a star rating... so I guess I am going senile).

I want to do an acoustic version of this song.

the Girl and the Sea
by the Presets
(m4p: not sure if you can play this)

Tonight the
tonight the hills are watching her
as she runs towards the sea
yeah she runs so she'll be free

And of all the friends and enemies shes made along the way
they are no where in her thoughts
as she dives beneath the waves

And he's the one that you've seen sometimes on tv
and his shirt is on the ground
while he's tackled by police
and the parcel that he throws across the bridge into the creek
it'll flow towards the sea
it will meet with her tommorow

No place,
some time
we'll clear
our eyes
and when
you're down
i'll come around

And all the
places shes been along the way
flames are licken at their walls
night glows with their remains

From far away the animals come gather round to see
but she knows not how they feel
and she knows not what it means

When she was young we'd ask her what she'd like to be
and she'd close her eyes and dream...

...now we're no where in her thoughts
as she dives beneath the waves.

A place
I've found
could be
all ours
but I've seen
where you
would rather be.

Never Let me Down Again

I don't know why I'm feeling irritated. I got a disappointing shock in the mail (but not unexpected). Then I cleaned my house, which made me feel productive (and its always nicer to be in a clean house). I was practically giddy during my cello lesson, after that.

Then I tried and failed to make some spontaneous plans. This turned out to be a good thing, because I have a ton of work to do. But I'm slightly irritated by my day. And then I was irritated that I couldn't find some decent music to work to in iTunes. I only have 50 THOUSAND songs, how hard could it F---ing be?! And that interaction I just had with my ex and my son didn't help either.

But this song seemed to help, a little:

Depeche Mode
Never Let Me Down

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never let's me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend

We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down

Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never let's me down again
Promises me I'm as safe as houses
As long as I remember who's
wearing to trousers
I hope he never let's me down again

Never let me down

See the stars, they're shining bright
Everything's alright tonight

27 Jennifers

I love this song. Sure go ahead, call me narcissistic ;) Its just that I was born on the 27th and am struck by coincidences.

27 Jennifers
Album: Golden Delicious

I went to school with 27 Jennifers
16 Jenns, 10 Jennies, and then there was her

Mmm, yeah!

You might be the one that I’ve been seeking for
You might be the strange delightful
You might be the girlie who shall end all girls
You might be the sweet unspiteful

I rode the bus with 27 Jennifers
16 Jenns, 10 Jennies, throwing shade at her

Ask for what you want!

Laughed my ass off reading this ad for musicians on craigslist. Hell, I didn't even know you could put this in an ad:

"personality wise, looking for someone who's really into making music but not some total freak that's a pain in the ass and insane. "

darkness abated. resume life.

Had a great healing conversation with Liliana. She is truly amazing. There was this darkness that was trying to convince me to leave the planet. A gray blanket of grief, and a fatigue so intense I wanted to sleep the rest of my life away. She was able to lift a corner, allow me to see the light again. And today I feel much much better, thank you very much.

WHEW. That was scary. Glad its over.

road trips

I recently answered a personals ad, got a reply and sent this as part of my response:

"I have about a billion questions to ask, but I'll keep it to one (or two) for now and give you my answers:

1. What was your most memorable/best roadtrip?

Mine: i went on a road trip with a man i was seeing down to big sur. we drove along the coast, listening to mix CDs we had made for each other. we parked at a state park, hiked to a waterfall that spilled into the ocean. we stood there and made out just as the sun was setting in a beautiful orange blaze. as i write this i chuckle, because it seems so over the top. but it really happened!"

Life Carries On

Struggling today. Not sure why. But there is a moment in this song that helps:

I Grieve
by Peter Gabriel

t was only one hour ago
It was all so different then
Theres nothing yet has really sunk in
Looks like it always did
This flesh and bone
Its just the way that you would tied in
Now theres no-one home

I grieve for you
You leave me
so hard to move on
Still loving whats gone
They say life carries on
Carries on and on and on and on

The news that truly shocks is the empty empty page
While the final rattle rocks its empty empty cage
And I cant handle this

I grieve for you
You leave me
Let it out and move on
Missing whats gone
They say life carries on
They say life carries on and on and on

Life carries on
In the people I meet
In everyone thats out on the street
In all the dogs and cats
In the flies and rats
In the rot and the rust
In the ashes and the dust
Life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on

Its just the car that we ride in
A home we reside in
The face that we hide in
The way we are tied in
And life carries on and on and on and on
Life carries on and on and on

Did I dream this belief?
Or did I believe this dream?
Now I can find relief
I grieve
