song of the moment
i can feel a hot one
by manchester orchestra
i could feel a hot one taking me down
for a moment, i could feel the force
veiny to the point of tears
and you were holding on to make a point
what's the point?
i am but a clean man, stable and alone man
make it so i won't have to try
the faces always stay the same
so i'll face the fact that i'm just fine
i said that i'm just fine
i remember, head down
after you had found out
manna is a hell of a drug
and i need a little more, i think
because enough is never quite enough
what's enough?
i took it like a grown man crying on the pavement
hoping you would show your face
but i haven't heard a thing you've said
in at least a couple hundred days
what'd you say?
i was in the front seat, shaking it out
and i was asking if you felt all right
i never want to hear the truth
i want to hear your voice, it sounded fine
my voice is sounding fine
i could feel my heartbeat taking me down
and for the moment, i would sleep all right
veiny with a selfish fear
to keep me up another restless night
another restless night
the blood was dry, it was sober
the feeling of audible cracks
and i could tell it was over
from the curtains that hung from your neck
and i realized that then you were perfect
with my teeth ripping out of my head
and it looked like a painting i once knew
back when my thoughts weren't entirely intact
so i prayed for what i thought were angels
ended up being ambulances
and the Lord showed me dreams of my daughter
she was crying inside your stomach
and i felt love again

I love the feel of this song. To me, it sounds like raw emotion, like he's singing straight honesty.
I’m a sucker for the raw melancholy types.
I wish I could express myself like that.
The first time I heard this song was on an episode of Cupid (a short running show on abc, that I loved, and want to come back - you can watch it on hulu if you’re interested).
It was in the last six minutes of the second episode, and the only part that was played was: “i remember, head down after you had found out manna is a hell of a drug. and i need a little more, i think because enough is never quite enough. what's enough?”
I had to know what it was. I do that, I’ll hear a song, or part of a song on a show, and I’ll just need to know what it is. Grey’s Anatomy has a lot of good music, in my opinion. I’m over the storyline, but I might keep watching it just to see what music they play.
But I digress, it’s what I do.
What was I saying?
Oh, right (just reread), heard the line, looked it up, found the song, loved it.
Hmm, maybe that was the end of the story, cuz I’m not sure what comes next.
Oh well, on to my next irrelevant point…
I’m a very visual person, so when I listen to music, I picture things (I say that as if I’m the only one who does that). I just saw their official music video today, but for some reason, I wanted the first listen, for those of you who hadn’t heard it before, to leave your brain open for its own visualization.
When I heard the vocals, I abstractly visualized the vocalist. I was way off.
I like it when people don’t look like what they sound like, it keeps you on your toes (not me, just you - I’m already on my toes quite often, cuz I’m kinda short).
Okay, I’m done now.
My brain stopped working a while back, and I'm rambling.
I’m going to sleep to the sound of rain falling.
It’s not actually raining, but my sister bought me one of those clocks that projects the time on the ceiling, and plays soothing noises. I choose rain.
Why do I think you care about this?
Let me know if any of the links don't work, so I can give them a severe talking to.
