We're gonna jumpstart this bitch with three more selections this evening, to get you in the proper mood for relaxation. Not hateration or holleration - them
s are bunk nuggets - fake weed - no bueno. R-e-l-a-x-a-t-i-o-n is where it's at, what it's all about at a quarter after one on a Thursday, kidzzz.
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly
From the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Very beautiful, very serene, and very peaceful song. I enjoy this one very much. But there's a sinister underlying darkness to it. Beware.
Alabama Shakes - Hold On
Brittany's gonna bring you back up. This one's not quite as mellow, but it's the bomb, no doubt. We still have time to chill out and bring it on down to chinatown with the last song in tonight's series...and we will Wang Chung with that track momentarily - but let's pretend it's our Lord's birfday and listen to the Shakes preach for a few minutes, gangstas.
Modest Mouse - The World At Large
This one is so choice. Very beautiful and melodic lyrically, not to mention the fact, that it's just a really well written song all-around. Excellent selection to end with, and to ponder the lyrics, and their meaning(s) as you begin to get ready to drift off to sleep.
Another Isaac Brock/Modest Mouse masterpiece - this band is so underrated, even though they're rated pretty
ing highly, at least by critics in the know...either way, enjoy.
Lyrics:
Ice age, heat wave, can't complain
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another planet
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand
I move on to another day
To a whole new town with a whole new way
Went to the porch to have a thought
Got to the door and, again, I couldn't stop
You don't know where and you don't know when
But you still got your words and you got your friends
Walk along to another day
Work a little harder work another way
Well uh-uh, baby, I ain't got no plan
Well I float on, maybe would you understand?
Gonna float on, maybe would you understand?
Well I float on, maybe would you understand?
The days get shorter and the nights get cold
I like the autumn but this place is getting old
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most
The days get longer and the nights smell green
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave
I like songs about drifters, books about the same
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane
Walked on off to another spot
I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?
The moths beat themselves to death against the lights
Adding their breeze to the summer nights
Outside water like air was gray
I didn't know what I had that day
Walk a little farther to another plan
You said that you did, but you didn't understand
I know that starting over's not what life's about
But my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth
My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth
My thoughts were so loud, ah
Boom. The bomb tracks exploded in your
ing faces. You should have known better than to stick your head in my oven, brahs.
