get your shoes on come along

One In A Million - DatA

Baby, you're one in a million
I should've left you alone
sitting outside with your shoes off, waiting
for your girlfriends to come along

Why don't you come along with me
I've been waiting for a girl like you
sitting outside get your shoes on,
come along, let's go home and turn this on

Another time, see,
there's someone inside,
I don't think they'll be there for long, no
I've been waiting for a girl like you to
come along come along come along
(x2)

Let's get happy inside (get happy on the floor)
I'll wait for you all my life (been waiting for you)
take care of you so no matter what he says
I'm taking over

Beat in, take out
let's operate now
come home, get down
you're playing my record now
the jukebox is backed up
the band's on the make up

Take it off but don't think about your man
think about if I were at home instead
take it off but don't think about your man
Is he round, is he home, does he cook you breakfast?
think about if I were home instead
we could be in love with the beat

Baby, you're one in a million
I should've left you alone
sitting outside with your shoes off, waiting
for your girlfriends to come along

It all comes at once

White Sky - Vampire Weekend

An ancient business
A modern piece of glasswork
Down on the corner that
You walk each day in passing
The elderly sales clerk
Won't eye us with suspicion
The whole immortal corporation's given it's permission

flores para los muertos, originally uploaded by justinsdisgustin.

A little stairway
A little piece of carpet
A pair of mirrors that
Are facing one another
Out in both directions
A thousand little Julias
That come together
In the middle of Manhattan

You waited since lunch
It all comes at once

Around the corner
The house that modern art built
I ask for modern art
To keep it out the closets
Of people who might own it
The sins of pride and envy
And on the second floor
The Richard Serra Skatepark

You waited since lunch
It all comes at once

Sit on the park wall
Ask all the right questions
Why are the horses
Racing taxis in the winter
Look up at the buildings
Imagine who might live there
Imagining your Wolfords
In a ball upon the sink there

You waited since lunch
It all comes at once

gasoline, lemonade in the latest cream
watch on wax off to a different scheme
laminate your mind as though you need it
psycho killer says it makes your shadow seem grey
why you late in this race
it's like delay over your face
it's like you made no way
it's like you made ok

recycle this if you're making the man
get a big red slap from his big white hands
recycle this if you're breaking the ban
let your girlfriend do what your boyfriend can't

talking to myself

soon, so soon i will have access to a darkroom again. i am so excited. i have a sack of film waiting at home for me with about fifty rolls (all kodak b&w 400) and several more in my purse that i shot over spring break. processing that film will feel like going back in time. some of it i shot over a year ago and some is from last night. this year i wanted to be shooting a whole roll every day. that just hasnt happened. i am behind in my school work (in fact that's what i should be doing now) and it's been so cold and dark. but not for long. as the days get longer and warmer i've been bringing my camera everywhere again. i love it so much. one of these days i'd like to finally not have a backlog of work: processing, making contact sheets, printing, scanning, it's all so tedious. it's also such a shame to me that i have only scanned 5 of my b&w prints and that they are improperly stored at the moment in a huge stack in a closet somewhere. not that they are even such high quality prints but those are my memories. i have always craved the ability to keep a written record of my life but i have started several diaries and never filled them. i wonder if i should start a blog anonymously to just share my life. not that my life is so fascinating that everyone should read about it but then some days it is. and some days it's awful and some days it's glorious but i want to capture it all, the good and the bad. not to bottle up the memories and dwell on them but quite the opposite. i feel like when something's written down i can relax and forget about it and move on with my life (perhaps also why i'm bad at keeping daily planners for my work and appointments). perhaps i will write on here more but i feel like if i want to make a stink about something, i don't want anyone close to me to be on here reading about it. not that really anyone is even reading this blog. i'm getting like one hit per day. how about some feedback people? do you come for the photos? the tunes? would you like more chatter? i don't feel motivated enough to post regularly lately but i don't want this blog to be another diary that bites the dust. especially when there is so much great music and photography out there. and really, even though i don't openly post my thoughts often, they are there in the songs. each one has significance. most are dedicated to people, places, events. and how much more detail do i want to log beyond the general feeling i was having when i posted something? it certainly could become a self-indulgent pity party if, for example, i were to write about my recent breakup and the hurt and the insomnia that have followed. i like to collect evidence for later to prove that i was right but at the same time that seems petty and immature to post online. so maybe another, more anonymous blog is the way to go. or maybe i should go back to good old pen and paper. or maybe just keep posting songs and photos and painting a hazy map of my life to look back on.

Under sunshine pylons we'll meet while rain is falling

this album is so hot. unfortunately there is much controversy over the lyrics of this song and even i can't correct them enough to satisfy my own standards. any suggestions?


Rhinestone Eyes - Gorillaz

I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower
That you made with plastic power
Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away

Reflection on 43rd, originally uploaded by HistoryRepeating.

Where the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep
Drive on engines till they weep
With future pixels in factories far away

So call the mainland from the beach
Your part is now washed up in bleach
The waves are rising for this time of year
And nobody knows what to do with the heat
Under sunshine pylons we'll meet while rain is falling like rhinestones from the sky

I got a feeling now my heart is frozen
All the (b/p)__y(?) sand that grows in
Happy and elated in my soul
I prayed on the unmovable
Yeah clinging to the atoms of rock
Season's the adjustment signs of change
I can't sing that you said taxi
Now that lies here so I can take
The storm brings strange loyalties and skies

Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away

Helicopters fly over the beach
Same time everyday same routine
Clear target in the summer when skies are blue
It's part of the noise when winter comes
It reverberates in my lungs
Natures' corrupted in factories far away

Your love's like rhinestones, falling from the sky
With future pixels in factories far away
Your love's like rhinestones, falling from the sky
With future pixels in factories far away

morning dreams come true

Morning Dreams - Ladyhawke

When I get you home
I'll never let you go
Too bad it never lasts long
When I'm all alone
You creep into my mind
And I pretend it's you by my side

You look a little better, each day to me
And you try a little harder each day to be
Everything that I wanted in you
And do everything that I need you to do

Morning dreams come true
Cause I wake up next to you
And only for your eyes
Do I sing these lullabies

Everything you do is all I need to know
Cause I'm yours
I'll never let you down
Anywhere you are is where I want to be
Anywhere, anytime or place

You look a little better, each day to me
And you try a little harder each day to be
Everything that I wanted in you
And do everything that I need you to do

Morning dreams come true
Cause I wake up next to you
And only for your eyes
Do I sing these lullabies

You look a little better, each day to me
And you try a little harder each day to be

Morning dreams come true
Cause I wake up next to you
And only for your eyes
Do I sing these lullabies
Morning dreams come true
Morning dreams come true
Morning dreams come true
Morning dreams come true
