"first you'll roll your eyes to heaven
say you never had love so divine
but it will go from
more than ever
to not enough,
in no time"
ani-difranco
i've been on such a rilo kiley kick lately. i try to put other things in the cd player, but it just makes my miss rilo kiley more.
well except ani's new album. i haven't liked anything ani has done in years, or maybe i just haven't given it a chance, but i've immediately fallen in love with "reprieve." it's so sad and slow and moving and beautiful. it reminds me of new orleans. well probably because it was recorded there and all. new orleans still makes me sad but only for selfish reasons really. i'm from louisiana and i've always wanted to move back. something about the music and the intoxicants and the literary scene and the swamps and the heat and the blues and history and lazy hazy days feels at home to me. i thought if i didn't move there for college i would eventually live there. i meant to write this a million years ago and didn't, but now i'm re-inspired to be sad and upset about all this chaos. obviously loss of a future home is not at all on the scale of the loss of a current one.
