Saturdays... They happen. Every week.
It's strange. I'm more down than I've been in a very long time right now, but somehow I ended up writing one of the least down songs I've written.
Also, it's been officially decided that when I have a cold (and thus have a stuffy nose and the voice that comes along with it) I DO NOT sound sexier. I guess that's just Phoebe.
The Boy In Front of You
edit:
A girl told me tonight that I hide behind being a good writer. I won't waste the breath to deny the good writer bit, anyone who knows me knows that my first reaction would be to rebuff any compliment coming my way, but that's not what I'm mentioning this for. The thing that got me thinking was the fact that being a good writer isn't something I do consciously, I simply write the way I write. If I'm a good writer, it's part of who I am, not something added to who I am, so how can I hide behind something that I simply am?
I have, often enough, felt that I hide behind my ability to write or to talk, but I don't think that's it. I hide, don't get me wrong, but I don't hide behind those abilities. I hide behind the lies that I tell; the writing and speaking is just what makes those lies believable.
It's strange; I can't really expect anyone to have any idea about the fact that a while ago I began (and have been rather successful, though not completely so) to stop lying. How would anyone know? What's really hard is the people who have found out, since I started telling them the truth, that I had been lying to them, which has led them to think that I am now doing the same. It's kind of a bitch.
"Knowing what you know now" is an homage to the song "Ooh La La" by the Faces. It's one of the greatest songs I've ever heard.
