Cover art for Hummingbird lyrics by Wilco

i see it like this: at particular moments people are a part of your life, and in the present, and the future, the past exists. it's a perpetual movement. so, the past actually lasts forever, and the people that are present in those certain moments in your life hover there, even after we die, floating like a hummingbird, forever. our life is like a string of pearls. each pearl represents a certain moment in, a small part of, your life, but the string is life, earth, the stars and mountains, and we see it as lasting forever and always present. this makes me think: do the stars see each of our lives, our existences, as just one small moment? just one pearl? and if so, what do they see as the string? what is always there for them? what is their stability? is it empty darkness of the universe?

it must be so beautiful to be a star.

fork... im so trippin.

ilikeyourname...lol. what you say is beautiful, tripping or no... this reminds me of a friend who died, even tho i think the actual meaning might be different, your comment is lovely, i like to think of him like that.
