What Emo pissoir did these pap-meisters crawl out of? This sucks so hard it's creating a vortex and spawning little whirlwinds on my desk.

They are atheists in USA ? Seen from Europe, it seems very unlikely !
Glad you are so, hope you are numerous !

BusinessGypsy;
The Road has no memory, except the one you brought with you.
The dream of "Someplace you belong, where people care about you" is a romantic definition of "family"
"Where they have to take you in"... In real life, very few people actually care about you. Whenever one gets that romantic feeling, leave your money at home... then you will find out -exactly- who cares, who remembers, and why... Growing up is hard work... Perhaps that's why so many prefer to avoid it.

Nice post, Marley. Not having anything resembling a root, the image is just theory for me - but very pleasant nonetheless. I imagine Portland is about as close as I get to a spiritual home, but sometimes it's hard to take the reality disconnect that's so pervasive there.
The road, on the other hand, is always forgiving and full of wonder. |

Just changed my rating from 8 to 10. I love the building in this song. Just fantastic. Love it and the associations that go with it.

I don't get this. Tribute to whom? Or to what? Elbow has a very original sound, perhaps not on a song-by-song basis, but certainly considering their work as a whole. |
