Currently Browsing: The Decemberists

While Life Swirls Crazily Around My Head

Deep breath…

It’s been another emotional and busy week for us. There were some highlights, like unexpected (and pleasant!) visits from out-of-town relatives, and meeting new people. Instead of recapping and whining about the rest, I have decided to randomly post one of my favorite songs by The Decemberists:

“The Engine Driver” – The Decemberists
off of Picaresque, 2005
The Decemberists
And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I’ve written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
It’s that part that caught me the first time I heard it, and still does.

Headache Tuesday

I am beginning to wonder if there is a pattern here. Anyway, spent a little time looking through my mp3 links and found these:

“Circles” – Porter Block –This song felt a little XTC-ish to me on first listen, and actually they’ve changed it since I first heard it. Personally, I liked the old version a bit better, but no one asked me.

“Oh My” – Office –Starr made an iTunes style “celebrity playlist” a month or so ago, and this is what she wrote about this song: “It’s like being surrounded and overtaken by the fast paced craziness of life, then searching for an out with someone calm and safe. I don’t know how else to say it.”

“Shiny” – The Decemberists –This was my first introduction to The Decemberists. I loved the atmosphere of it.
