in your blue eyes, in your sly smile

Ever miss something you've never experienced? Then you'll probably enjoy Iron & Wine's "Your Blue Eyes", here, courtesy of passing afternoon.com.

strangers when we meet

Sorrow, grief, rage, hurt, betrayal. Sadness. I have lost the very last person I trusted.

I have lately developed a nervous tic, wherein the upper left lip starts twichting and I find myself snarling involuntarily.

Pop and rock are helping me cope. Also, friends. God, I love my friends.

I got scumbagged today. [this post was edited to remove pointless angst. you can't blame an animal when it attacks, so why write about it?]

But enough of my angst, bring the noise:



So I bring you Cursive's "Am I Not Yours?" my most favorite recent find, topically handy and poignant and although it's not my situation, it's close enough that I can feel the truth behind the hurt behind the vocal.

Jealousy Jealousy
am I am I am I

not yours not yours not yours?

We stopped for some alcohol
and you stayed in the car
The bars had gotten out that line was so long and
I saw you over on the pay phone well
so I
was thinking who do you ever call at one a.m.?

I wondered who that was

Jealousy Jealousy
I am I am I am
not yours not yours not yours

Sonic Youth's "Shadow of Doubt" from EVOL:
I met a stranger on the train
I bumped right into him
I swear I didn't mean it
I swear it wasn't meant to be
must have been a dream
from a thousand years ago
kiss me
kiss me in the shadow of doubt
kiss me.


Ani DiFranco's "As Is":
I got no illusions about you
Guess what
I never did
When I said
When I said I’ll take it
I meant
I meant as is


And Dave Matthews Band's "Hallowe'en":
And in this dream,
Tell me,
Are you satisfied with fucking?
Don't walk away
I'm talking to you.
