have you ever heard her perform somewhere over the rainbow? there's this law, that is, you don't touch a song like that, which was owned and loved by the original singer or artist. and yet that, in my opinion has countless amounts of meaning to me, above judy garland's, and i love the wizard of oz. but out of all? fuck, notes of the future, which leads into the song from annie is one of my top listed. #1 right now is godspeed, although, i have a weakness for because the night (it's one of those people know, even if they don't know her), as i found an original record of my father's, one summer as a kid and that's how the (clear) obsession started.
I'm going to corner you one night in the city in a smoky bar somewhere respectable folk never frequent and pick your mind about music, art, and politics until we're tossed out on our asses. I have't heard it, no, but I have heard her version of "When Doves Cry" and her version far surpasses Prince's by a hundred yards. She's one of those artists that managed to stay out of the limelight, but when you listen to her music, it's like a chemical reaction in your body that makes you feel something that other bands or musicians can't.

oh fuck. man, i swear you've been stalking me, or are reading my mind. just yesterday i was asked my favorite cover song of all time. now, that has to be the hardest question to answer so it took me five minutes to snap into my head; when doves cry. patti smith. like, i knew the generic answer is and will always be one of the thousand versions of cohen's hallelujah because yes, yeah that's an excellent song and it deserves to be known around the globe, but patti has it for me. she does. there's no question about it. she's a poet, a poet that doesn't give a shit, and if i can't be one, i don't mind being cornered in a smoky bar to listen to just that.
Haha, maybe that's it. I'm the dirty, old fucker that's been hiding outside your building in my trenchcoat and freshly shined shoes, waiting to strike. "Gloria" has to be the second for me on songs she's covered and though it's hard to really touch Jim Morrison, she comes pretty damn close to it with her version. If you want to get into Cohen, we could be here all night. Jeff Buckley did it best, but with a song as perfect as Hallelujah, it'd be hard to go wrong with it. Cohen, Patti Smith, and Tom Waits. My top three songwriters/musical poets. I know a shithole bar in the East Village with a jukebox that'll make you feel reborn.
when it comes to hallelujah, i'm drawn to dylan like a dyke to flannel, if all would take that euphemism as a joke, as it was intended. there was a piece i read, but i don't recall just who it was written by and when, of someone walking to their dorm room, hearing gloria by patti and falling in love. it's like every patti fan has a coming out story. what's yours?
Thanks for the free porn pop-up. It was entrancing, haha. That's like asking a lesbian what she did on a second date. She rented a U-Haul, of course. Jumping from Dylan to Cash. His version of Springsteen's "I'm on Fire" puts me in a trance that most get from smoking opium. I was walking across Washington Square. Eighteen years old and so fucking full of myself that I'd swear I was Jesus, Muhammad, Confucius, and Buddha. I hear "Dream of Life" on someone's radio and I'm stuck there.
it'll be dedicated to you, in honor of the babelogue.k_moennigMarch 23 2006, 22:57:26 UTC
i'm very inexperienced in the art of buckley. people are usually shocked to hear me say it, i shock myself sometimes to hear it, so thank you for this song, i'm 1/3 of the way in and already, i can tell that man had the voice of an angel. i retardedly uploaded a song (which i will re-upload), copied the link, then copied something else so what else can i do to apologize profusely for the time taken to reply than to indulge in this?

If I catch you on Aim sometime tonight before I take off, I can overload you on Buckley and cut out the middle man. horizontal hawke. He's an acquired taste and left the world before he could make a solid impact on it, but in his ashes, there's still glory to be found.
HAHA! Well shit, I guess I can't go hit on her now.
i'll add you, i was looking in your information for a name, while i was making my buddylist yesterday and found nothing, man, that's not cool. i should be on a little later, i've a bunch of stuff to do before i can finally chill out, completely. here comes the summer sun.
I just added it in there today. I go through periods of hiding from the morons, cretins, and leeches of the world. I'm motivated enough by the music to be social. I might be around for another hour or so. If not, at the witching hour. You're such a fucking hippy, haha. I can smell your patchouli from here.
I'm holding out for SexyLatin2. I'm offended that MegaUpload thinks I need Viagra.
that patchouli belongs to jennifer beals, i have nothing to do with it. stealing from her baby, doesn't count. i signed on yesterday, and a bunch of things came up to do at the same time, so i wasn't the best conversationalist. i take long enough to reply to comments and talk off those webcam women, christ.
Is that the story that you're sticking to? For all I know, you've got a stockpile of daisy chains, LSD, strawberry wine, and face paint hidden somewhere. It's the same here, but I prefer to lurk around later at night when most of the kids have gone to sleep and it's a more mellow mood. Those webcam women are going to haunt me in my sleep. They're like Lays potato chips.
i'll most likely change the story when i find somebody else to blame. anyone, really, it's those i love the most that i take pride in emancipating myself from. beals is lucky. i'm around now, until i am no longer. mia kirshner is demanding that i got kicked off, so, i'm not the only liar. lsd... those are breath mints.
