Watching, Listening & Writing

This morning I watched, Simon and Garfunkel singing, “I am a Rock.” I’ve heard the song many times but watching footage from the past and hearing all the words reminded me that this was a gently crafted song, http://yt.cl.nr/My9I8q-iJCI In the video too they seemed so concentrated. 


After a 5-6 watches, I wrote lyrics that could be used in a future song,

I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS THING IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION REGARDING ITS MEANING OR ORIGINS I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL THANK YOU BYE

I just called it the superman S! I thought that’s what it was!

i had these all over too. i guess looking back it was sort of my how-to-draw-block-letters 101. i would always do the six lines first

and was fascinated that you could turn those six lines into a stylized “S” by making the appropriate slashes (additional lines). the final dilemma was whether you’d go with the hard diagonal slashes for a pointy top and bottom, or finish with more of a curved natural line. this one seems to be stuck in the middle. FAIL… just kidding.

When people care about things with the highest honor they put that thing on a pedestal and come first.

When people care about things with a levelheadedness about its value they place that thing in a file cabinet, jar or closet and tend to it from time to time.

When people care about things with little or no regard for that thing they throw it on the floor or in the trash and on the waiting list.

Thanks Melissa Thomas for this photo. I was having a hard time and then this little toothless grin appeared right in front of me singing and screaming along. Finally I had to invite her up to sing Alphabutt with me. She ended up singing along to pretty much my whole set, including the songs she didn’t know. She’s 6 and she made my night. I think I maybe made her night too. Its nice when it works out like that. (Taken with instagram)

This is a super-rough copy of our newy we are playing for the first time live on sunday (@ Ella St.). There is a digital trumpet involved but it could become a real-life trumpet in the future! & yes, the piano horn is back in action!

Bevelers - “Gunfire at High Noon”

TIna says what I cant.
Time, teaches, touches torches a…
burning blimp. A glimpse of
want you’re out there but it’s tangled rope
threads unlacing one by one
Ah oh strands unraveling
mind keeps traveling
on its legs to distant places through
oo a world of mismatch times
times were good but times no good
when good don’t last forever

Ah oh (4x)

It was you what I want
Close me in
Race down face down
Close me in

Box it up, ship it out
wait weighs wages welling up
in sinking sand in ink there’s
love and despair and the in betweens
braid together for each word
Ah oh letters sent but not stamped
paper airplanes all the rage for you
oo Alas! There’s the great wait washing over
don’t be late cos late just makes us sober

Ah oh…
Ah oh… Wa oh Wa oh…
Ah oh…
Ah oh…

It was you what I want
Close me in
Race down face down
Close me in

Serious 9:42am urge to watch the movie, Network.
