I'm humming a threshing song-

Nov 19, 2006 06:51

"until the night is over, hold on hold on: hold your horses back from the fickle dawn. I have got some business out at the edge of town, candy weighing both of my pockets down till I can hardly stay afloat, from the weight of them (and knowing how the commonfolk condemn what it is I do, to you, to keep you warm: Being a woman. Being a woman.)

But always up the mountainside you're clambering, groping blindly, hungry for anything: picking through your pocket lining--well, what is this? Scrap of sassafras, eh Sisyphus? I see the blossoms broke and wet after the rain. Little sister, he will be back again. I have washed a thousand spiders down the drain. Spiders' ghosts hang, soaked and dangling silently, from all the blooming cherry trees, in tiny nooses, safe from everyone--nothing but a nuisance; gone now, dead and done-- Be a woman. Be a woman."

....

If you know me well enough, you know that when music moves me I get chills. This song does it to me about eight times. I mean, I have a little bit more taste than I used to, fellas. Listen to it. The Song is called Only Skin

I could go on and on! I'm so impressed! I knew I dug Emily, and I knew her first album had potential... Ys is ridiculous.

....

That's all I have to say at this point. I've been reading through old entries. I really got boring, didn't I? As in, I went from one extreme to another. I need to explore more. Certain things are better than others. I need to weed through it and make certain things private and public. If older entries were to fall into the wrong hands (seeing as how I had no concept of what was acceptable and what wasn't from abut age 16 to 18), I'd be fucked.

Go listen to Joanna now. You have to give it a few hours. Well, the "jam" is almost seventeen minutes long. So, I'd say at least two hours. G'night.
