Analyzing the emotion of "anger" this week. I'm not an impetuous person, and I'm extremely slow to anger. But when my anger is activated, wow; and when the proverbial straw breaks the camel's back, sometimes one has no choice but to let loose. Some of these songs work within those ideas, and others are perfect for the calm that comes after the storm.
1. Calexico - "Black Heart"
2. Nickel Creek - "Ode To A Butterfly"
3. Philip Glass - "Closing" (from Glassworks)
4. Michael Musika - "The Spellbound Traveler Loses All Possession"
5. Phosphorescent - "Little" (Pts. 1 and 2)
6. Jason Lytle - "Your Final Setting Sun"
7. The Wedding Present - "You're Dead"
8. Tori Amos - "Winter"
9. David Mead - "Chutes And Ladders"
Sifting through the remains
One man's close pursuit is another man's
Last chance, make it through the divide
Last chance, suffer the weight or get buried by this
Black heart, sweeping over the land
Black heart, crawling its way
To the four corners of the world
I could listen to this Nickel Creek tune forever, I think.
And the calming brilliance of Philip Glass.
tomorrow I'll be leaving on a train
...
I'll probably place your picture in some book
with other photographs
to remind me every time that I should look
and maybe realize all the precious times
that I have left behind
it was the darkest darkest night
in the worstest part of town
and the dirtiest dirtiest rain
was falling falling down
and the blackest blackest man
with the smallest smallest child
riding on his shoulders
with the biggest biggest smile
and her biggest biggest hair
made the darkest softest ring
the perfect little halo
on her perfect little head
That light you see is the setting sun
I know you seen a few friend but tonight is gonna be your final one
That light you see is the setting sun
I know you love this life but say goodbye this is your final setting sun
This is just an epic break-up song. If you're going through that, you'll appreciate it.
when you buried your face into my chest
your little hiding place, i would never have guessed
what a little cheat you are
what a liar you'd turn out to be
how we even got this far
is a mystery
...
I know we won't be making up because...
Bang bang! You're dead!
...
So now want to apologize well
that comes as no surprise
cause i can read you
and i don't need you
this time you went too far
and i know exactly what you are
i understand you
and i can't stand you
but how come during times like this
i still want your touch and i want your kiss
it's insane and i can't explain why
you're not the one for me although
i just can't seem to let you go
you appall me
Okay, call me...
i run off where the DRIFTS GET DEEPER
sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
i hear a voice
"you must learn to stand up for yourself
cause i can't always be around"
he says when you gonna make up your mind
when you gonna love you as much as i do
when you gonna make up your mind
cause things are gonna CHANGE so fast
all the white horses are still in bed
i tell you that i'll always want you near
you say that things change my dear
And we'll cancel out all the hate, anger 'n' reflection songs with this sweet love ditty from David Mead:
