The feel of today

 
If I had to pick a color, a smell, a noise and a sensation
all would get reflected in this song by Bon Iver




This my excavation and today is kumran
Everything that happens from now on
This is pouring rain
This is paralyzed

I keep throwing it down two-hunded at a time
It's hard to find it when you knew it
When your money's gone
And you're drunk as hell

On your back with your racks as the stacks are your load
In the back and the racks and the stacks of your load
In the back with your racks and you're un-stacking your load

Well I've been twisting to the sun and the moon
I needed to replace
The fountain in the front yard is rusted out
All my love was down
In a frozen ground

There's a black crow sitting across from me
His wiry legs are crossed
He is dangling my keys, he even fakes a toss
Whatever could it be
That has brought me to this loss?

On your back with your racks as the stacks are your load
In the back and the racks and the stacks of your load
In the back with your racks and you're un-stacking your load

This is not the sound of a new man or crispy realization
It's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away
Your love will be
Safe with me

  1. Reading about the color, smell and sensations of certain days made me think of this song, a song for days of every color. From a very dark group with very enlightening messages: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STOaKXoMoOM&feature=related

  2. Thank you for your message and for the song, Malu. A song for days of every color. I like that...

    I would like to hear from others. I know we all have songs that we listen depending on the color of the day. Would love to hear your choices.
