sending crayon valentines
i reply
will you marry me, loligirl?
my second grade heart
looks more like a broken you
and me,
19
and crying for eulalia...
i'm still young
i will be waiting for you loligirl
the little girl that i knew loligirl
and if you're waiting for me loligirl
and if you see me loligirl
bring back the boy i used to be

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
where's the rest of the lyrics?
"Between the innocence of babyhood and the dignity of manhood, we find a delightful creature called a Boy. Boys comes in assorted sizes, weights and colors, but all boys have the same creed: to enjoy every minute of every second of every day, and to protest with noise (their only weapon) when their last minute is finished and the adult males pack them off to bed at night. Boys are found everywhere-- on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to. Mothers love them. Little girls hate them. Older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them, and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket." When you are busy, a boy is an inconsiderate, bothersome, intruding jangle of noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly, or else he becomes a savage sadistic jungle creature bent on destroying the world, and himself with it..."
I just googled it. It's from a much longer speech by the Rev. Guido F. Verbeck III at stpaulsepis.org/fft0524.pdf
Okay, this song is an awesome song.
To me, it's about young love, and then later on being lonely and longing to be back in that young love because it was so happy and everything was so bright.
If I had the choice I'd go back to third grade and be innocently in love again, as things just aren't working in the here and now.
Bob said the song was pretty much about being so enamored that you feel like a little kid again. The name supposedly came from someone he knew with the name Eulalia, which is just a great name. Good song.
This is one of my favorite Braid songs if not the number one favorite song. I can't believe you didn't add the dialog at the begining of the song. I love that part. Anyways I think the song is about how he wants to re-live his first real love, to re-live the feeling of a heart never broken that is in love for the first time.
The lack of dialog makes me sad.
does this have anything to do with redwall? in the books "eulalia" was a battle cry... i dont think he misses a specific person so much as his childhood in general.
...in the presents of an eight year old model planes and model everything in the presence of an eighteen year old in a sense innocence makes you tense in the presense of an eight year old writing cursive on loose leaf paper in the presence of an eighteen year old
i will be waiting for you loligirl the little girl that i knew loligirl and if you're waiting for me loligirl yeah and if you see me loligirl
bring back the boy i used to be
I know Braid cut a bit of it out, like "Beauty with a cut on its finger" and the end of the excerpt I added. Weird.
It's also supposed to say "to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day." Don't know what I was thinking.
I went bowling a couple weeks ago, and my bowling name was Eulalia. It gave us a good chuckle
