random note about big country:
this just a band that makes me well up inside...no pretension in their atmospheric, earthy, bigger-than-life tunes. they bring the broad scottish landscape to me.
i came across big country years ago at a record store, which was playing "in a big country."
"a time to be small" - interpol (forgot how much i love this song)
We saw you from the urchins's side, from under the boat We saw you making knots, we saw you get the rope The boy appearing on the deck and making it lurch And the bubble of your interest ready to burst
He whistles and he runs
We saw you in distraction: a sleeping, slow despair Rehearsing interaction, he wasn't even there A creature is a creature, Though you wish you were the wind The boat will not stop moving if you tie him up until the end
He whistles and he runs so hold him fast Breathe the burn, you want to let it last He might succumb to what you haven't seen He has a keen eye for what you used to be
When the cadaverous mob Saves its doors for the dead men You cannot leave
from insomniac to narcoleptic to insomniac, i've shifted my night hours constantly, sleeping inconstantly.
now i'm exhausted, submitting myself to some pushy, urging agency that prods me forward, wherever that maybe. is it something in me that makes me sit longer, think longer, stay entrenched?
the starts and stops of an undecisive mind, unsensing of physical locomotion, paralyzes. the body nevertheless moves.
i am retrogressing, someone tells me, while everyone else goes in the reverse. i sigh. i wish.
