Rewrite the book
chapter three will be empty
pure white and hidden in the shadows
one voice moving lips are absent whispers
design for the future
twisting steel frames cells glass walls
observation seating this room
will be full one day
on the rise
shoot when you see the pales of there eyes
climbing up to meet us to take us on
so place your arms back in the sockets for
rebuilding from our losses we wont be taken now
in the open windows smearing portrait across the view
reset the stopped watch two days behind
"Did I sleep through it?"
consciousness takes control semi trucks and white dotted lines car stillin drive
just pull over park getting out to climb the fence
breaks skin falling down on dead leaf covered ground much softer forgiving
from much harder concrete sidewalks "I just expected more"
or did you forget "Did you forget?"
this was no longer a dream those cold hands on your face
the ones sliding down to your neck and you wont miss the pressure of feet standing on your chest
but thats just how the body reacts when the tear is found
take notice of the trees climbing towards the whole in the sea above limbs have opened the sky
branches cartoon greeting

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
