![]() Middle Cyclone (2009) [ larger cover art ] |
I hear the tiniest sparks and the tenderest sounds
Diving music
Drowning the sound
Waltzing with the hairs upon my arms
Then your fight or flight alarm
And you tremble
Then you stumble
And you scrape up your palms
I can't stay here to hold your hand
I've been away for so long
I've lost my taste for home
And that's a dirty, fallow feeling...
To be the dangling ceiling
From when the roof came crashing down
Peeling in the heat
Vanish in the rain
The next time you say "forever"
I will punch you in your face
Just because you don't believe it
Doesn't mean I didn't mean it
You never knew when I'll show you the never
You never know when I'll show you the never

| yodasan_magoo (Close to the far side) | Posted: Sep 15, 2011 - 05:15 Looking at the album cover I wonder why Ford does not design a retro rod based on the old Cougar. The Mustang is a fantastic car with the retro looks and is very popular. I would be the first in line and I would check the box for the optional 'Neko hood ornament' as depicted here. |

Also, why is she on a Mercury Cougar instead of on a Mercury Cyclone? It is actually her car or was, I think she raffled it off for charity a last year sometime. |

| ladymix | Posted: Sep 01, 2010 - 12:35 Well a) welcome to the world of art, b) I've actually heard that Neko Case rarely writes about herself. Only a few songs are genuinely about her life/experiences. Wierdly enough you can write in first person from the perspective of someone else. It happens a lot in this niche little thing called literature. vit wrote: Of the 12 songs on this album that have lyrics 10 of them (including this one) are sung in the first person. How self-absorbed can you get? |

How self-absorbed can you get? How many singer/songwriters do you know of who do not write the majority of their lyrics in the first person? A singer-songwriter being self absorbed? Perish the thought. Her music is a personal expression, not a dissertation. Do you wish to limit all songwriting to be third-person "story-songs"? |

| Moak (Reading, PA) | Posted: Jul 31, 2010 - 12:23 Three geniuses in a row...Tori, Strummer, Neko...OK four, Mark Knopfler...can you get your mind around the chain reactions that folks like this initiate?? History changing. |

David Byrne is another example. If you hear him enough on this station one thing starts coming out — he sings almost entirely in the first person. It took 5 minutes to scan her lyrics and confirm what every song played on the station was already telling me. No man, what's bizarre is that people eat it up. |
