Pass through my life like a dream through my head

I was on vacation. Now I'm back. I won't go into the gritty details. I vaguely put wrote stuff about it on many moblog posts while I was gone. Vacations are nice but sometimes I just want to be home. I had fun and now I'm here. Look around around around. I have souvenirs from the things that were in my pockets when I came back.

I went to Moonlight with lots of people I haven't seen much of in a while. That was a nice change. Moved Carm's furniture earlier today and Mishka and I couldn't find anyone for a while. Brian and Paul. Mishka is sick. Brian + Music. I have had so many songs stuck in my head off and on I won't even try listing them here. I want to quote half of the Bright Eyes songs I've heard, some Bob Marley songs, some Floyd, and a lot more.

I found out I love Bright Eyes for a few reasons. I love how the recordings of the vocals are purposely very unprofessional sounding. There is often static and echoing or talking in the background which gives the songs that raw feeling. I love the random "Revolution 9" style chaos in some of the songs. Many songs have strange talking and awkward instrumental parts. The metaphores and symbolism used in many of the songs is obsessive sometimes. Fevers and mirrors uses symbols a lot but some of the other songs have symbols. Some metaphores that I made up myself are mentioned in their songs in correct context and it's kind of creepy. The emotions of the songs are expressed very well (it is emo music after all). Bowl of Oranges is NOT the only good song by them by far. I still love that song best though.

reminds me of long ago
mid-June night turned morn
we poured out like words
we spent time well
it was time well kept
