catch the wind

"in the chilly hours and minutes

of uncertainty

i want to be

in the warm hold of your lovin' mind

to feel you all around me

and to take your hand

along the sand,

ah but i may as well try and catch the wind"

- from catch the wind by donovan

(go to project playlist on right to hear)

"found yourself in a new direction

aeons far from the sun

can you come?

would they come to breach you?

let you know you're not the only one

you can't keep hangin' on

to all that's dead and gone

if you built yourself a myth

you'd know just what to give

do you lie?
oh, let the ashes fly"

-from myth by beach house

*my new most favorite song.. totally obsessed

"the truth is unspoken, a promise is broken

i'm under surveillance, they know what my name is

i need some protection, some love and affection

there's 1000 reasons but one is the number

welcome to my spaceship

you're beautiful forever

she's right here where you left her

and the heart's a lonely hunter"

- from the heart's a lonely hunter by thievery corporation

no more walls"

metal heart

"it's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do

be true 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad sad zoo

oh what cha trying to prove

hiding you're not worth a thing

sew your fortunes on a string

and hold them up to light

blue smoke will take

a very violent flight

and you will be changed

i once was lost but now i'm found was blind

but now i see you

how selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming

metal heart you're not hiding

metal heart you're not worth a thing"

-from metal heart by cat power


heart graphic from graphics fairy

"i heard you were here then you disappeared last night

when they killed the lights

words we didn't say

your eyes that took us down two more

and we were ready for

you came up behind me, grabbed my wrists in the dark

and said 'don't look at what you can't see'"

-from all night by sam phillips

"what is important is to spread confusion, not to eliminate it"

"people are strange when you're a stranger

faces look ugly when you're alone

women seem wicked when you're unwanted

streets are uneven when you're down

when you're strange

faces come out of the rain

when you're strange

no one remembers your name

when you're strange"

- from people are strange by the doors

"with piranha teeth

i been dreaming of you

and the taste of your love so sweet

honest its true

through my heart flows sleep

and the dark heavy rain

you've been torturing me"

"you live your life

you go in shadows

you'll come apart and you'll go black

some kind of night into your darkness

colors your eyes with what's not there...

...fade into you

i think it's strange you never knew"

- from fade into you by mazzy star

"chimney falls and lovers blaze

thought that i was young

now i've freezing hands and bloodless veins

i'm so tired

i wish i was the moon tonight"

i wish i was the moon

the answer lies with you

and all your dreams are still as new

and happiness is what you need so bad, girl

catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today
way up high in the sky"

"it was a matter of perspective, i began to see.

the whole world was crazy; i'd flattered myself

by assuming i was a semifinalist."

- from one of my favorite books she's come undone by wally lamb

don't you go it makes no sense

and all these talking supermen

just take away the time just to get it away

ain't it just like rain

cause love is only heaven away

inside you the time moves and she don't fade

the ghost in you she don't fade

-from ghost in you by the psychedelic furs
