Please, remember me happily
By the rosebush laughing
With bruises on my chin
The time when we counted every black car passing

Do you just listen to a cover of a song that makes you just want to be able to shoot it straight into your veins. like you want to absorb it until it sticks to your very cells

Top five songs/lyrics that make you feral?
oh anon, you are speaking my language!!
Glory, Radical Face
A bird, caught in the wires
Bleating for help I can't provide, I'm not that big
I hope for the best but nothing changes, I'm sorry
But I was blessed with bad eyes
There's a lot that I miss but I don't mind, I'm not that old
I'll find out what broke me soon enough
2. The Trapeze Swinger, Iron & Wine
But please remember me, fondly
I heard from someone you're still pretty
and
Gleam and resonate just like the gates
Around the Holy Kingdom
With words like, 'Lost and found' and 'Don't look down'
And 'Someone save temptation'
And please remember me as in the dream
We had as rug burned babies
Among the fallen trees and fast asleep
Beside the lions and the ladies
3. More Adventurous, Rilo Kiley
I've felt the wind on my cheek coming down from the east
And thought about how we are all as numerous as leaves on trees
And maybe ours is the cause of all mankind:
Get loved, make more, try to stay alive
4. champagne problems, Taylor Swift
"This dorm was once a madhouse"
I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me"
How evergreen, our group of friends
Don't think we'll say that word again
And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls
That we once walked through
One for the money, two for the show
I never was ready, so I watch you go
Sometimes you just don't know the answer
'Til someone's on their knees and asks you
5. Servants and Kings, Radical Face
When all was fire, and the weather's out for blood
And the boys, still too young to drink, were drownin' in the flood
I'd hear you laughing as I'd come on out for air
And I'd laugh with you, pretending that we care

New Workshop Poem
After The Trapeze swinger
After Sarah Russel
I’m listening to the trapeze swinger again -
The season is right, the colors are here and you are not.
But I hope you remember me, with the hand drawn map
Sitting in the kitchen plotting all the routes to you.
Counting every time a new artist came on the radio
As I drove, cross country - back before we knew
That I’d never drive on my own. And if not, then I
Hope there’s a world out there somewhere where we
Get to dance at midnight with the ghosts wrapped around
Our wrists and the moonlight streaming through our souls.
I hope we get to meet and write everything we said we would
While you painted and drew and composed the soundtrack
To all the art ever born of our phantom limbs. I know you
Probably don’t remember me, but I hope if you do -
I’m the sinner and you’re the angel and this song doesn’t
Make me sob every time someone wants to look cool
Cause they know it just as well as I do - even though
That’s impossible.
-M. Rene’
