vol. 45

if i would have led with lines from a song before last night, it would have been these...

my body turns
and yearns
for a sleep
that won't ever come...

but last night i listened to this song on record and really heard the next couple lines...

it's never over
my kingdom
for a kiss
upon her shoulder...
-- jeff buckley, lover, you should have come over

i made a comment one time about loving found objects -- a student asked me today what i meant by that so i tried to explain -- a found object to me can be many things -- it can literally be something that you find on the side of the road, in your yard, wherever -- there's something interesting about that for sure -- but for me, specifically dealing with the things that i love the most, it's something that i find for the first time in a song i've heard a thousand times or a movie i've seen over and over and over... it's really hearing buckley sing that second section above for the first time -- it's magical almost -- i never really heard that section properly until last night -- why didn't it ever stand out to me before that point??

• i've been hooked on the song fingers crossed by gustav and the seasick sailors lately -- really cool song and the video isn't too shabby either... (it provides credits at the beginning -- stick with it...)
