album of the (last few) day(s):

the essential johnny cash

it’s my birthday tomorrow, and i’m feeling kind of old. for one thing, my knees are creaky, i eat oatmeal, and i wear turtlenecks… but that’s beside the point. i feel like i’ve lived a very long time. almost two decades, in fact, but it feels like 150 years. i was thinking about the songs (and the people that go along with them) that have made me who i am. most of them have been mistakes, to be quite honest. but there have been a few that have stuck and some who have even changed me for the better. in one of my favorite movies, high fidelity, john cusack has a scene where he talks about how he arranges his music autobiographically. and i think i’d like to do the same. starting sophomore year, with my first broken heart. there’s a story behind all of these; if you want to know, they’re yours for the asking.

live high, jason mraz

i try to picture the girl
through a looking glass,
see her as a carbon atom
see her eyes and stare back at them
see that girl
as her own new world
though her home is on the surface, she is still a universe

i try to picture the man
to always have an open hand
to see him as a giving tree, see him as matter,
matter of fact he’s not a beast
no, not the devil either,
always a good-deed-doer
and it’s laughter that we’re making after all

the call of the wild is still in order nationwide
in the order of the primates, all our politics are too late
oh my, the congregation in my mind
is an assembly selling gratitude and practicing their lovin’ for you

and oh, let’s take it easy
and celebrate the malleable reality
because nothing is ever as it seems,
this life is but a dream

live high, live mighty
live righteously
takin’ it easy

12/3

it’s been a long time/never since i listened to death cab’s “plans” album all the way straight through. i thought i loved the songs individually but the sequence of the songs is a work of art in and of itself. do it… it will change the way you listen to music.

12/1

well… this has been an interesting day to say the least. anyways.
song of the day: “Christmas Lights” by Coldplay
