I did not realize I didn't post at all in the month of April. How horrible. I must be slipping in my strict routine of blogginess. How about just a few quick thoughts then?
I often wonder how people who write lyrics are able to express their thoughts so eloquently. They say very obvious things, but in ways that you'd never thought of them before. For example, this line from Ivoryline "The outside doesn't feel, what the inside knows is real." Obviously, showing the disconnect between our actions and our feelings. Why couldn't you just say that? Well, you couldn't. It wouldn't be nearly as attractive. It's these little anecdotes that keep my faith in the poetic ability of my generation alive. They're quite rare, these little quotes, but they are gems in the rough indeed. You just have to say them with a little flair, and hope that the sun catches the drops as they fall. Bend them into little prisms of color, and enjoy it from a distance.
Well, that's all for now!!

hmm I love moments like that, where not only the clever words, but the words combined with the music give you an insight into your own or someone else's soul...how about this:
"You've got to spend some time, love, you've got to spend some time with me; and I know that you'll find, love, I will possess your heart." DCFC
"We celebrate our sense of each other...we have a lot to give one another." Sufjan
"Let's break the walls down and find how to live, 'cause you and I have so much to give...we are forming a sight to behold...we'll hold forever." Eisley
Those are just some that I've found. :)
