I love music. Especially calming music. I'm listening to one of my favorite songs right now - Iron & Wine's acoustic version of Such Great Heights(a song originally by the postal service).
I haven't written lyrics to song on my bed for a while. I think I'll do that with this entire song.
"Such Great Heights"
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home
They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...
I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
And that frankly will not fly. You will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home
Yes, that is copypasted. I didn't feel like typing out the song while listening to it. Destroyed the effect, you know? Another good band - The Moldy Peaches.
Their song - "Anyone Else But You" appeared in the film, Juno, which I have yet to see. I've known about them for only a few months, but their songs have made an impact on my life. I'd have to say my favorite song by them is called "Steak For Chicken". Both Adam Green and Kimya Dawson are both singing completely different lyrics simultaneously. Sometimes their words line up, sometimes they have references to whatever the other person is saying. It's a very pleasing song to listen to.
My incense ashtray is completely full. I've been burning them five at a time, making my room smoky but wonderful.
My mother just arrived with an energy drink. Now I will proceed onto both a sugar rush and calming music at the same time.
music: little motel - modest mouse
