The choir is tuning up, and the stained glass glows. Where, tell me where, did our heart go?

Satisfied Mind (free) 03:44
going backward i don't want to go backward can we turn this around my darling? this could be right if you turn my way i'm always awkwardly fucking with the clockwork trying to hold the minutes in place i'm always busy trying to make this moment stay if i could find my satisfied mind i would tell you all a graceful storyuntil then climbing the mountains and valleys escaping from wasted glory so many scars that I don't know their cause like a memory encased in quiet so many stars singing out as a choir like a melody to break the silence I was backward but you turned me around you said you wanted to know my face and you stared until you were satisfied til you were sure you'd seen a trace of gray i was awkwardly fucking with the clockwork trying to hold those minutes in place i'm was busy trying to make that moment stay

Piano Keys 04:45
You touched piano keys your knees would tremble slightly as you described all the melodies as anarchy your unwrapped presence slow parts to lullabies i'm hypnotized the sky is shaking all your friends are there somewhere you promised them something they don't know how you feel it's all so slow you don't know how i feel my skin is glowing and the what this is confounds me you start the car the music up the night awaits you reach your place on earth where magnetic sentiment holds you convincingly you're going there you don't know where it is but it's the only place to go and you are going in a burning way so here's to love and the one you'll let it make you for tonight i thank you i am you i love you.

#musiceveryday 56 - The original of this is SO AMAZING. and so is the Traveling Wilburys version. This one, in comparison, is absoutely nothing, thus a propos for modern times?

aurora 06:56
Aurora A wish gone wrong Now turned into a tattoo I like the way you draw (I like to draw A portrait of the moon (these portraits of you My wistful score My metaphors My clumsy dance My mournful roar Is all I can give, To the small light that is Our shared star The less I know the better it sounds the blessings being chanted Making their rounds The guessing game is wearing me down A yes invoked could save me now The blessings being chanted, rising on the air Seeds being planted here and there They go go go to home home home I follow The less I know, the more I care The more your aurora is everywhere The best I can hope is to try not to stare At the bending of the light we tried to share My fingers couldn’t grasp, my rhythm couldn’t keep The ever changing silence, wide and deep A roar of paranoia, a glorious retreat My only option The less I know, the bigger question asked Which words to choose? Emotional math. Which way gets me through the winding path That leads from you, which future to enact? The westward glow, tomorrow on the run I cast my shadow in the shape of a one Upon your aurora, your story I adore The longest shade from the lowest sun. The less I know the more beautiful it sounds The holy drifting chorus making a round It’s so fortunate, intne and into it This long now The less I know / my best guess gone I confess I can see what I once saw wrong A torn aurora born upon the shore of (born from the storm of) my longing To know less now, less somehow To breathe the same air that I used to, wow I can’t remember the words to the vow That held me there in the longest now The longest now…. Aurora I saw you We long for the now, belong in the now, This song is the now, no wrong in the now That held me there in the longest now - auroooooora auroooooora I saw as you
