From
my boat,*
*
*
*
i can see
your house.*

And when
the lights are on,°
°
°
°
i can watch
you move…°
°
You are just like an avalanche —
cold, as i might have guessed…
But at least i’m covered up for now…
In a big big way,
i am really small.
i get off my feet,
but i’m still distant…
You can
run away,
leave your books
behind you.
You got
one chance, still:
You got
somethin’ new.

Song of the Day: Interpol - Untitled April 8, 2009
Posted by ~V~ in : Images, Song of the Day, Sounds , add a commentbecause if silence is golden,
then music must be made of diamonds…
The word
untitled
refers to
something
that has no title.
Documents,
works of art,
musical works,
and other works
can be untitled.~ via
Generally,
an untitled work
is the result of
a conscious choice
by the artist or creator
not to apply a title.
However,
many computer programs will useuntitled
as a default title for
documents, images, or other files.
Some works
have a paradoxical title
of Untitled…

i’ll come ’round…

Posted by ~V~ in : Images, Song of the Day, Sounds , add a commentYou may search the ocean,
you might go ‘cross the deep blue sea…
But Mama, you’ll never find
another hot shot like me.
i followed my baby from the station to the train,
and the blues came down like dark night showers of rain.

i once had no fears,
none at all.
And then when
i had some…
To my surprise,
i grew to like both:
scared; or brave
without them.
.
.
The thrill of fear —
thought i’d never admit it…
The thrill of fear —
now greatly enjoyed with courage.

When i once was
fearless,
innocence roared.

Still amazes…

Untouchable,
innocence.
It is still here —

.
but in different places.

Reports that say that something hasn’t happened
are always interesting to me, because as we know,
there are “known knowns”:
there are things we know we know.We also know there are “known unknowns”: that is to say,
we know there are some things we do not know.But there are also “unknown unknowns” —
the ones we don’t know we don’t know.

Song of the Day: The Shins - Young Pilgrim April 27, 2008
Posted by ~V~ in : Images, Song of the Day, Sounds , add a commentA cold and wet November dawn,
and there are no barking sparrows —
just emptiness to dwell upon.
i fell into a winter slide,
and ended up the kinda kid
who goes down chutes too narrow…
But i learned fast
how to keep my head up,
’cause i know there is this side of me that
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
fly the whole mess into the sea…
