This goose is cooked, these tongues are tied
Around the block and airborne blind
But looking on the brighter side
There's far less to which I'd be obliged
In the meadow where the black breeze blows
Where underneath the waves, you were most alone
Can you hear a subtle, aching tone?
Through the water, through the Earth, trimmed up bone
Looking on the brighter side
Looking on the brighter side
Looking on the brighter side
Looking on the brighter side
Looking on the brighter side
Looking on the brighter side
Around the block and airborne blind
But looking on the brighter side
There's far less to which I'd be obliged
In the meadow where the black breeze blows
Where underneath the waves, you were most alone
Can you hear a subtle, aching tone?
Through the water, through the Earth, trimmed up bone
Looking on the brighter side
Looking on the brighter side
Looking on the brighter side
Looking on the brighter side
Looking on the brighter side
Looking on the brighter side

does anyone know if james mercer even gets high? i mean, hes a pretty smart guy, but id like to smoke some pot with the guy..i bet he'd be a good person to have a conversation with. this song reminds me of elliott smith for some reason but i have no clue as to what its about.
theres a lot more ways of getting inspired besides smoking pot. <br /> Like reading a ton of books.
I think that pot definitely allows for enhanced creativity (I can vouch for this =P)<br /> <br /> But is certainly not the only way, I have some friends who absolutely insist on smoking out before writing music, sketching, etc. to the point where this "creativity boost" is just placebo. I write, and write stoned occasionally, but true inspiration comes from what we sense in our everyday lives that touches us.<br /> <br /> But listening to music like this high is other-wordly, but again it shouldn't be depended on for enjoyment.<br /> <br /> my 2 cents.
