I love songs that are a journey.  Most Godspeed You!  Black Emperor songs are over 20 minutes long and when you really listen to them, they can take you for a ride.  The trilogy of songs on Lateralus clocks in at over 22 minutes and I love to lay in bed and listen to the whole thing.  Even songs that are 8-10 minutes can be take you to different ( Read more... )

Pure as we begin, pure as we come in.  Pure as we begin, move by will alone.  Pure as we begin, here we have a stone.  Gather, place, erase, soon shelter turns to home.  Pure as we begin.  Here we have a stone.  Throw to stay the stranger, swore to crush his bones.  Move by will alone ( Read more... )

Eye on the TV cause tragedy thrills me.  Whatever flavour it happens to be like, "Killed by the husband....drowned by the ocean....shot by his own son....she used a poison in his tea then kissed him goodbye".  That's my kind of story.  It's never fun till someone dies.  Don't look at me like I am a monster.  Frown out your one face, but with the ( Read more... )

Here from the king's mountain view.  Here from the wild dream come true.  Feast like a sultan I do.  On treasures and flesh never few.  But I, I would wish it all away if I thought I'd lost you just one day.

The devil and his had me down.  In love with the dark side I'd found.  Dabblin all the way down.  Up to my neck soon to drown.  But you ( Read more... )

Who are you to wave your finger?  You must have been outta your head.  Eye-hole deep in muddy waters, you practically raised the dead.  Rob the grave to snow the cradle, then burn the evidence down.  Soapbox house of cards and glass so don't go tossin' your stones around.  You must have been high.

Foot in mouth and head up ass, so whatcha ( Read more... )

There is this girl I know, and have known for some years now. At a time I would say that we were good friends and talked a lot. It had become more but that obviously wasn't meant to be, as it isn't now. The point is, a year or so after, we started talking again and all seemed fine. I never stopped thinking about her. A strong emotion could be ( Read more... )

Fear and death in the wings, in thrall of those fallen from grace.  Petty is as petty does, witness the mass disgrace.  God forbid you read the signs.  Watch for meaning between the lines.  Gehenna has now arrived.  No hindsight for the blind.  Your trust has been misplaced.  Believed the lies told to your face.  Became another casualty and now it ( Read more... )

The movie ran through me.  The glamour subdued me.  The tabloid untied me.  I'm empty, please fill me.  Mister anchor assure me, that Baghdad is burning.  Your voice, it is so soothing.  (That cunning mantra of killing)  I need you, my witness, to dress this up so bloodless.  To numb me and purge me now of thoughts of blaming you.  Yes, the car is ( Read more... )

Angels on the sideline, puzzled and amused.  "Why did father give these humans free will?  Now they're all confused.  Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around?  Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys.  Where there's one you're bound to divide it right in two ( Read more... )

You....you believed....you believed in movements none could see. You believed in me. A passionate spirit, uncompromised. Boundless and open. A light in your eyes. Then immobilized ( Read more... )
