world of fog and brake lights,
coffee at the wrong time of the day,
and an hour or two with friends
you don't remember why you're friends with —
"it's late, it's quite late,
it's getting very late."
the east side jerks awake.
lights go on in a hundred little rooms
and the overpasses coil
like copper wire around some secret center
and look for one to tell their secret to,
but it isn't you, it isn't you, it isn't you.

there were hymns and prayers at midnight;
i got lost in the houndstooth pattern of a dress
and fumbled at my prayers, distracted like a child,
and dreamed of my name in script across a record sleeve.
and a priest waved his blessing over us.
and a priest waved his blessing over us.
in the car home i am spread out in the backseat
and flickering radio songs roll their way over us
and that low northern city winked its lights at us
and the world waved a blessing over us.
the world waved a blessing over us.
the world waved
and we waved back.

Harrison Lemke Austin, Texas
tape-hiss symphonies to God
Harrison Lemke recommends:
Wild, slightly funky, slightly proggy indie rock songs that make you feel alive.
go to album
Child of My Sorrow
by The Chairman Dances
I'm in awe of the stories Eric tells with such an economy of words here. The magnificent arrangements and weighty vocals, which seem always about to fade into sigh or groan, also help.
go to album
Boots Quest DX OST
by Dragon Warrior
I made a video game, and this is the soundtrack by my Casiotone guitar pop / ambient / experimental music project. That's a weird digression but sometimes life is like that.
