'til gone's another day

I first heard this song back in May from the urban outfitters playlist LSTN #2 (yes, that means it's free). When my computer died, I only had it on my ipod for the longest time and only played it now and then. I just got my computer back last week and transferred my music and remembered this. It's so deliciously ethereal and of course I love songs with sleep themes. It really reminds me of summer.

On a somewhat related note, I'm having a hard time with my restored music library. About a third of the songs on here are pop and hip-hop and other stuff from my high school years that I don't listen to anymore. Should I delete all of it? What if I one day want to listen to one song only to realize I deleted it? Isn't it a waste when I paid for all of this? But my iTunes is so cluttered! And so much of this is crap! But what if I'm feeling nostalgic and want to make a playlist of 1995-2001 dance tracks or something? What if I'm asked to dj some party where the kids are calling for Eminem? Help!



Half Asleep - School of Seven Bells

Sometimes I go whole days
listening bored, half asleep
I won't say anything
that's worth a thing to me One day,
Suddenly, time took a turn that once felt so brief
I blinked to see polite ghosts fading quickly

What begins as an unguarded
train of thought slowly can become
an addiction
to the slumber of disconnection
and the resonance of
memory that no longer has a shape
but keeps you numb
through the hours 'til gone's another day

Be aware, my darling
these things I say I mean
are just traces of something
I long to feel again I see
our time expand in the air almost forcibly,
spreading thinner 'til it dissolves completely

What begins as an unguarded
train of thought slowly can become
an addiction
to the slumber of disconnection
and the resonance of
memory that no longer has a shape
but keeps you numb
through the hours 'til gone's another day
