"Baby Blues" - The Stills

hey all,

back in business...and i got my new lappie in transit so once that gets all established i'mma head over to roy's pad and just let my laptop and his harddrive bump uglies and produce babies and what not and i'll put 'em up for adoption.

not going to say too much about how i feel about being back here -- with every end comes a beginning i guess. but uhhh....how gay is this but i think i'm slowly gravitating towards "electro" music...it just seems like a natural evolution for me -- i ditched emo, punk and stuff (which i really dug) so it's just a new phase.

either way, i can't believe this song didn't catch my attention earlier, but man, did it catch me at the right time....last night in amsterdam, drinking/smoking/conversing at 4:30 am, only to wake up at 6:00 to catch a flight back. though totally inebriated, i found myself, at the brink of successfully completing my book, talking to one of the most integral people in my life, and trying to stretch the hours of the day and extend the night as long as possible. this song came out of nowhere and then the line

"this isn't the town where i wanna die"

came on and it hit me like a ton of bricks...i really don't deserve to indulge in that self-analysis, but this song really marked the end of my journey so i wanted to share it with you all. music can mean so many things, and the beauty of it is that you can pick and choose what you want from it. there really is no other form of communication quite like it. words so tangible and rigid and fluid and esoteric and melodic at the same time...how godly....

soul's on ice. mind's aflame.

BABY BLUES

I’ve doubled my pace
For half of your smile
I’m tiger-posed
I’m doggy-bagged
Crime or offence
Don’t make you cry
I love your heart
I’ve combed your eyes
I see it in your feet
Racing to mine

I like to dream
I’m caught in the sky
I hang by the fears that
Staple my life
The winter was long
The mountains were high
The fire burns blue
As I wave my goodbyes
This isn’t the town where
I wanna die

I’m worth the time
In all sincerity
I’m honestly happy
With you

So let’s make it fast
Like lightning through the cars
But just like the sixties
We won’t get very far
I’m into looks
But I’m also into books
I see it in your smile
