Cover art for Real Life lyrics by Joan as Police Woman

she wrote this song to woo a computer nerd guy that she had a crush on. he was from isreal. she played it for him and he shrugged and said "atleast you've got a nice song there".

she was disapointed.

"she was disappointed"

i bet!

this is a very beautiful song... it reminds me of a picture of someone sleeping, bare, honest and peaceful.

my favorite line is "how a man, desired, feels the weight of a letter"

so descriptive and contemplative, deep and introspective, yet built around such a common thing in our world.

to me thats the sign of a great song and songwriter, the ability to turn the mundane into something of beauty. i think simon and garfunkel were masters of that.

this is my current favorite song.

that is jacked up!!!!!!!
