writing the weather's lonely heart

while having a lunch date with my girl in a small seaside resto just a few meters from our house, the weather suddenly changed, from a chilly afternoon to an extremely windy one... with the waves turning from stubborn to mad.

i came into a realization; does the wind have feelings too? if so, who did he sweep away today? or did he just hum a tune...

i am currently listening to a song by deathcab for cutie. it brought me back to my streaming days. where i used to listen to launchcast's "cool as folk" genre. and my day turns into a gloomy and overly melancholic one. what when ryan adam's tells u that la cienega just gave a smile....
and smog sings about his roomate/girlfriend, entertaining a new friend just across the covers on the same room... totally un-entertaining? not for me..

so i thought to myself. if there is such a "death cab" for cuties.. would i be in it? or will i be in the bus of full of nowhere men?

too many questions for one night. but if man stops hoping, stops asking questions.. then what use is his mind? f*** so there i go asking another question.

a week ago before we had a sunday jam session, i conditioned myself. I watched the "Yellow Submarine" DVD of the Beatles. it was nothing less than "other worldly". the art. the punchlines.
when ringo just cant refuse to pull the lever, his reason is - "i am a liverpooler". and the nasty "Blue Meanies" who are out to eliminate entertainment, color and music.

but lennon quipped "All you need is love"... and all was well.









I Will Follow You Into The Dark
deathcab for cutie

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
