Grizzly Bear


Two weeks - Vecktamist.

I love this band's sound. They are so musically skilled it's a pleasure to listen to their work.

It also doesn't hurt that the band members are pretty gorgeous. :)

Wildly coherent in a watery deep
we’ll drop her down to the bottom
we’ll drop her down
like she’s nothing and the water is all
Oh the water is still in a wilder deep
We’ll swim around like two dories
We’ll swim around like two dories let loose in the bay
We’ll miss the eddy
Hold on make steady, go
There is no plenty.
Even keel already, go

I can’t be here all hours
Oh such a riot
I can’t discern this trouble
Oh what a riot I can’t be here all hours
Oh such a riot
I can’t describe…
I can’t be here all hours
Oh such a riot
I can’t describe this problem
Oh what a riot
I can’t be here all hours
Oh such a riot
I can’t describe this problem

Daisy

Daisy, give yourself away
Lookup at the rain
The beautiful display
Of power and surrender
Giving us today
And she gives herself away
Rain, another rainy day
Comes up from the ocean
Give herself away
She comes down easy
On rich and debt the same
And she gives herself away
Let it go
Daisy, Let it go
Open up your fist
This fallen world
Doesn't hold your interest
It doesn't hold your soul
Daisy, let it goPain, give yourself a name
Call yourself contrition
Avarice of blame
Giving isn't easy
Neither is the rain
When she gives herself away
Daisy, why another day?
Why another sunrise?
Who will take the blame
For all redemptive motion
And every rainy day
When he gives himself away
Let it go
Daisy, let it go
Open up your fist
This fallen world
It doesn't hold your interest
It doesn't hold your soul
Daisy, let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
And you let it go, go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go, go
Let it go
Let it go

I see bits of me
in the fogged up mirror
There is my eggshell nose
and lips, untouched,
spewing forth toothpaste
Eyes, that do not look like mine
stare frankly back
from their position on the wall.
There's purple and white and brown and red.
My face.
Hello.
I missed you.

WHEN I SHALL DIE

When I shall die,
I shall do it for myself.
Nobody shall do it for me.
When I am redy,
I shall say,
'Fin, stand me up',
and I shall look
and lagh merry,
If I fall down,
I shall be dead.

-Anna

As for my problem about the HERES and THERES, the explanation went like this:
'Where are you?' she had said.
'Here, of course', I replied.
'Where's me then?'
'There!'
'Where do you know about me?'
'Inside myself someplace.'
'Then you know my middle in your middle.'
'Yes, I suppose so.'
'Then you know Mister God on my middle in your middle, and everything you know, every person you know, you know in your middle. Every person and everything you know has gog Mister God in their middle and so you have got their Mister God in your middle too - it's easy!'

Has anyone seen my book?

Have you seen my book?
I lost it.
It has silver paper .
I lost it.
There are little cars on the silver paper.
I lost it.
There are little perferations where all the metal letters that had been so painstakingly stuck on have come loose and started floating around like alphabet noodles in chicken soup.
I lost it.
It has a handwritten message on the first page that is so very precious to me.
Have you seen it?
I feel the loss of all those careful letters as if someone had written them on my skin with a ballpoint pen.
I lost my book, have you seen it anywhere?
