One must meet one's commitments...
The music meme, as tagged by Tommo:
List five songs that you are currently digging ... it doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words or even if they're any good but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now.
Post these instructions, the artist and the song in your blog along with your five songs. Then tag five other people to see what they're listening to.
1. All Tomorrow's Parties - The Velvet Underground
2. Two Headed Boy Pt. 2 - Neutral Milk Hotel
3. I Luv The Valley OH! - Xiu Xiu
4. And Then Patterns - Four Tet
5. Broken Windows, Locks Of Love Pt. 3- Godspeed You Black Emperor!
5 people I want to see do this: Talya, Helen, Tanya, Penny and Polly. (Well, actually, I'd like to see lots of people do this, but this selection is people who have LJs, whose music I want to find out about, and who could (combined) spread the meme broadly.)
I have come to the borders of sleep,
The unfathomable deep
Forest, where all must lose
Their way, however straight,
Or winding, soon or late;
They cannot choose.
Many a road and track
That, since the dawn's first crack,
Up to the forest brink,
Deceived the travellers,
Suddenly now blurs,
And in they sink.
Here love ends,
Despair, ambition ends;
All pleasure and all trouble,
Although most sweet or bitter,
Here ends, in sleep that is sweeter
Than tasks most noble.
There is not any book
Or face of dearest look
That I would not turn from now
To go into the unknown
I must enter, and leave, alone,
I know not how.
The tall forest towers;
Its cloudy foliage lowers
Ahead, shelf above shelf;
Its silence I hear and obey
That I may lose my way
And myself.
