Listening to CD's I've not listened to in ages. I always forget how madly fond I am of James' Laid (the whole CD, not the song) and that Sometimes, for having a giddy melody, just makes me sob, at least the part about the boy in the beginning, now more than ever it seems, even as whatever the fuck the boy's deal is is never explained, but I love the image of him, eagerly threatening the sky.

Will write about the fictional map of my musical world when I get home.


There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder
Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in
The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete
On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain
Aerial held high, calling "come on thunder, come on thunder"

Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul

It's a monsoon, and the rain lifts lids off cars
Spinning buses like toys, stripping them to chrome
Across the bay, the waves are turning into something else
Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore

The boy is hit, lit up against the sky, like a sign, like a neon sign
And he crumples, drops into the gutter, legs twitching
The flood swells his clothes and delivers him on, delivers him on
