It was just like I imagined it would be I suppose.
Or rather, just how you imagined, you described your dreams to me and I just sort of went along.
But either way, it was what I expected, only… brighter. Colors leaked around a lot, like in oil spills but cleaner.
I could fill you up with metaphors for days, and your eyes roll back to show words printed on the whites, and still you would not know.
There were embarassed smiles there, and strains of music. The reason birds sing is mystery to me, forever.
The disc is over, time to change it, every time I do I think of you and me and stupid things like jealousy and the way I laugh when I'm not scared.
And maybe in your arms I could sleep in the dark, power plants are shimmering late.
unrelated: the Doldrums are officially added to my list of amazing, amazing local bands. oh man. the lyrics. mm. I wish I could remember more, I was tempted to write them down while I was listening so I could re-read them. kudos to Dan and Nathaniel for being cool. They (among others) are playing at my house August 21st, people should give me fair warning and then come rock out too.
Posted by samantha at July 17, 2004 12:37 AMmy gut reaction is to offer (threaten?) to play at your party, but i'm not sure that i would have any sort of decent group together by then. possibly bo coach but we are astoundingly lazy. we've even trimmed the lineup from four (or five) to two and we still haven't gotten enough of our shit together in five years to practice once. i may be able to convince 3/4 of the billy ripken fuckface card to show up. that's a big may though. we don't even know if we're still a band.
i guess what i mean is that if you have room for any solo acoustic guitar/casio keyboard ADD rock acts on the bill then count me in.
