2001-11-05 - 12:59 a.m. - someone elses song.
sometimes other people say it better. friday night at the flashpapr/k/tarajaneoniel show i bought the flashpapr live tour cd. there is a version of 'spanish bombs' (not by the clash) on it where all of the music dissappears except for the noise made by the laptop computer and the singer moans some of the most beautiful and poetic images i think i have ever heard. it is one of the most inspiring and discouraging things i have ever heard. the last couple of days listening to that song has felt like someone had perfectly transcribed every thing thats been on my mind, which, to those of you you have heard the song in question, may seem troublesome. but its beautiful. and i guess, here are some excerpts:"you told me about a feeling
when you haven't got a dime
and yr drinking wine for the first time."
"there's something i'm forgetting
the third finger of your hand
an inexpensive band."
"waking up beside you and remembering our dreams
and breathing like a team..."
and they just go on and on and on like that. and if you haven't noticed i've had a little bit of writers block the last several days. and so i figured maybe i'd just share as much of this song with you all as i could. it is very very beautiful.
dammit, now im going to have to start all over on the making of mixtapes. start from scratch to add this song. so to those of you who were so close to getting the promised tapes, think again, i gotta start all over to accomodate a 10 minute song.
im going to go listen to it right now and smoke a cigarette and then go to bed.
good night.
xoxo
listen to: flashpapr.
