No Name #5 Lyrics

Cover art for No Name #5 lyrics by Elliott Smith

This song reminds me of Playdough...kinda like, life seems maleable when one is happy, yet irrevocably fixed when one isn't...it's kinda like playing with dough...artisnal, yet, perishable. I think this one's about enjoying creation in the moment, with the knowledge that it will stand in time as what it was meant to be, as opposed to "whatever, this'll end some day anyway"...Gotta give alot o' respect for an artist who can connect that with so many people...
