The Warmth...
It's a writing day. I have some Christmas gifts to buy for my neighbors (the other ones, not my recent nemeses). And then...it's time to bury myself back under thr blanket of the novel that's demanding to be written.
Preparing my writing playlists...I remembered these tracks and how I've loved them, particularly for long bike rides around West River drive in Philly, and now Lake Travis in my new hometown.
You know I'm odd in my musical tastes. If I can find something in a lyric that demands to be heard...I'll like it, and the genre (or it's popularity) really doesn't matter much to me. So you're inclined to find nearly anything in my collection.
The Warmth, from the album Make Yourself.
I'd like to close my eyes, go numb
but there's a cold wind coming from
the top of the highest high-rise today.
It's not a breeze 'cause it blows hard.
Yes and it wants me to discard the humanity I know,
watch the warmth blow away.
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much
I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer.
It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague,
haunting mass appeal.
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
should be the one behind the wheel.
It's a playlist of transition...food for literary thought (for today anyway)...or just a little bit of that angst to inspire a new nervous habit. One can never be too sure.
What are you listening to today?
(Addendum...after spending the entire morning, trying to understand what I am doing wrong,..and the sweet kindness of TechMusicGospel trying to assist me to no avail...I have given up on ever trying to have the album art appear with my music files. It apparently is a secret not meant to be revealed to me, so I'm sorry you have to look at awkward file names with no pretty covers. I'm off to bang my head against a wall and drool...because no WAY am I dedicating a day to this shit)

As I have to do a bit of work to do today, I am totally going to steal your posting idea and slap a few of my songs up :)
I keep meaning to write a post about this as Vox is now one of the reasons why i'm starting to buy CDs instead of digital media files from iTunes again.
Ah, I love those songs. Haven't heard them in a very long time, thanks for posting them. Incubus, oh Incubus. How it reminds me of going to see them back in 2003, and being a short girl in a very large mosh pit and getting kicked in the head for 3 hours straight...
Good memories.
