There's something about you,
I wanna risk goin' through,
Future heartbreak, future headaches,
Wide-eyed nights late, lying awake,
With future cold shakes from stupid mistakes,
Future me hates me for, hates me for
Did it make you feel so clever?
Did you wear it on your sleeve?
Did you see another lifetime,
Where I was not a part so far entwined?
"The fates are vicious and they're cruel
You learn too late you've used two wishes
Like a fool
And then you're someone you are not
And Junction City ain't the spot
Remember Mrs. Lot and when she turned around"
With steam, heat, and rhythm in the backseat of the car
An adolescent perspective projecting life's forecast to the stars
You heard 'love' from the lips
And were rapt by the hips
The promise was eternal, but you couldn't see that far!
"Some say love is a burning thing, that it makes a fiery ring
Oh, but I know love as a fading thing
Just as fickle as a feather in a stream
See honey, I saw love, you see it came to me
It put its face up to my face so I could see
Yeah then I saw love disfigure me
Into something I am not recognizing"
"Leave me here, let me go
I'm only here to feed mosquitoes
Only skin, only blood
A little less now than there was"
There's a balance in all of us between cynicism and joy. You get worn down, you get disappointed - but whoever you are, don't sand your humanity flat.
Love the people around you.
Sing sing sing
For the dying of the day
Sing for the flames that will rip through here
And the smoke that will carry us away
I wanted you to know that I listen to this often and it's still amazing. THANK YOU!!!
Find what's worth fighting for and fight for it.
A friend shared this song with me tonight while talking about music that moves us. And it moved me.
Over and over many setting suns
I have run, I have waited for the rain to come
When through that mist, I see the shape of you
And I know, and I know that I'm in love with you

I wanna tell everyone I know
That I love you
if I could be
who you wanted
all the time
all the time
Sometimes you wish you could change people like they've changed you.
But gravity always wins.
"You're weightless, you are exotic
You need something for which you care"
Norman, the puppet from this video, was found decayed in a warehouse. A GoFundMe was set up and he was restored to better condition. What a lovely story.
With steam, heat, and rhythm
In the back seat of the car
And adolescent perspective, projecting life's
Forecast to the stars
You heard love from the lips,
And you were rapt by the hips
And the promise was eternal,
But you couldn't see that far
Things could be different
But they're not
Obviously a huge fan of the original song, but this came up on random the other night and it is definitely a BOP.
We are cycles. Everything has a beginning and an end. We mourn and are mourned, celebrate and are celebrated.
"No, I'm not afraid
To disappear
The billboard said
"The End of Near"
I turned around
There was nothing there
Yeah I guess
The end of here"
We've all got those pieces inside of us that we dislike, even hate. Do we bury them and pretend they don't exist, or do we face them head on?
And if I go digging, I'll never stop
Fossilized nightmares in every spot
Ancient pottery filled with fault
And the negative space that held my soul
Find what's worth fighting for and fight for it.
Have you ever felt like you *had* to do something so urgently it felt like life and death? What is your will compared to a mountain, a god of fire and destruction, that's existed for thousands if not millions of years?
Follow the Flame, or Follow Your Death.
Sometimes the only person who can stop you from hurting is yourself. Sometimes you've gotta take a deep breath, and say goodbye like you mean it, even when you're afraid.
My favorite Talking Heads song changes from time to time, depending on my mood and if I get tired of one or another. But This Must Be the Place is almost always near the top.
It's nostalgic to hear this song, with all the bittersweet notes that implies. Take care to not get lost in the past.
Ever been head over heels for somebody?
Like, the kind of feeling where your breath catches in your throat when you try to speak to them. Where your legs feel weak when you're around them. When they touch you it's electric, and when you kiss it's a supernova.
Yeah. This song's about that.
Yes, I am a DEVOted follower.
A pioneering band that influenced most of music today. I have an ex whose favorite band was Devo, so I got some good exposure to them back then. I've always connected with punk and New Wave, so Devo just made sense.
They're more than just "Whip It", way more! :)
Incredible! You're amazingly talented and I am BLOWN AWAY by this! Thank you so much for recording this!!

They brought this song back into my active consciousness, so I decided to cover it.
I hope that it's a decent attempt and that everyone enjoys it.
The Postal Service was a tremendous influence on a ton of folks when this album came out. I think the "lovesick love song" is one of the motifs I will always seek out for the emotions it inspires in me.
Particularly resonant:
"Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures."

Dedicated to @leondemusica.bsky.social , this is a Mountain Goats cover that I ADORE. Atom actually did a few Goats covers on this album and I love them all as much as the originals.
I have a treat for you!
