Parallel in step—an echo so correct
From the land of no body
Well attuned to you—and everything you do
In perfect harmony

Better see me when the light is right
See me when you’re all alone
So cleverly timed we coincide
Wherever we may go

You and I are very much a likeness
Two together one and all
But I depend on you to make me move
Shadow walk

One weightless shape—a blatant double-take
Concurrent entity
Will follow you—and everything you do
In mobile symmetry

Better see me when the light is right
See me when you’re all alone
So close in kind we always rhyme
Wherever we may go

You and I are very much a likeness
Two together one and all
But I depend on you to make me move
Shadow walk

    An absolutely delightful song from Lene—who I always knew of as Lenny because it’s what her grandmother called her. Ran into her grandmother but not Lene. What’s missing here are the whoo-oo-oo-oo-oos that make this song so cool.
    And I am sb’s delightful—a matter of opinion with others who’ve run into me—shadow walk partner—doing the concurrent entity thing with her. I absolutely adore going back to the early days when I had just arrived—what an impossible little spitfire … I showed up to be her bodyguard but ended up asking her if she would be my bodyguard—made so much more sense. I keep thinking she’s got balls tucked away in some hiding place I haven’t found yet. And why do I rhyme with her? Just to drive her nuts. Still, I do have to depend on her to make me move. [She rolls her eyes] You’ve managed to find your way around that minor obstacle in the past, so I know you know how to do it. We’re teasing, of course. Are we? We could pretend we are. Okay, but I’d rather play hide and seek. How do we do that? Thought you’d know. Thought you knew everything. You act like you do. Oh that’s just me. Part of my charm …and oh yeah, the song’s meaning? We could breathe the lyrics ….

    I am visited by a man who is the god of foxes Fresh from his den We smile at one another My eyes leap The floor slants—the room slopes Things melt into each other Seeing the loose chaos of words on the page My circus and I are two individuals Joined together in life This is powerful knowledge We smile with it

    I look into the blue gray gloom of dreariness Blooming on an osprey, frozen sky high to challenge me Glaring at me There is no beauty The exotic has come to an end There is nothing in the night but fast clouds I am caught in reveries of love I am in a room of light hell and warm heaven

    Gentle love … gentle love … Wonder at wonder—in dreariness and beauty Aloof in perpetual un-amazed astonishment

    McClure—Peyote Poem [paraphrased]

Mountain Song
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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Plastic Bag
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.
