What are you listening to right now? v2.0

[tufty79]

I named my apple tree after Kate stables
TITK are always exactly what I need when things don't make sense.



^^^ especially given last night's brain landmines.











We are (were?) both not enough and too much

 

[tufty79]

Oh. My. god.
I always thought the tenth line of this was 'she came from Bradford ', not 'she came to breakfast'






You came close
Close but no cigar
You didn't miss by far
You know you came this close
Close but no cigar
Some people sing love songs
Everybody's got one
This isn't my love song
It's more like my love gone wrong song
She came to breakfast
And stayed a week
But the lie detectors
Broke down each time she tried to speak
Broke down when she said:
"You came close
Close but no cigar
You didn't miss by far
You know you came this close
Close but no cigar
No matter where you are
You know you came this close
Close but no cigar"
I remember, I remember, I remember
The promise in your eyes
As black as the night I drove you to the airport
And I remember, I remember, I remember
The wide Brazillian sky that swallowed you, you, you-hoo
Then I hit thirty
Guess I can't complain
But I must have been lonely
The night I bumped into Lorraine
She came for coffee
And stayed all night
But the lie detectors
Broke down every time I tried to smile
Broke down like the story of my life
And each dream I missed by half a mile
Broke down when I told her:
"You came close
Close but no cigar
You didn't miss by far
You know you came this close
Close but no cigar
No matter where you are
You know you came so close
Close but no cigar
You didn't miss by far
You know you came this close
Close but no cigar
We're better off by far
But you know we came this close
Close but no cigar



Hi. I'm tufty79, and I've been getting hilariously confused and thinking songs were about me since 1992

 

[tufty79]

QUICK! TO THE TINDERSTICKS EMOTIONAL SAFETY BANDWAGON!





And remembering that eating mints ground me and I've run out




Have I mentioned I have word/taste synaesthesia?

'word' is mintolas, incidentally.

 

[tufty79]

New stuff has been making me rediscover the postal service






and these have something in common with the other two that I can't quite work out, musically.
Handclaps, maybe?

The twang were from rollinder x I gave I love it when I feel like this to hanitizer when he got a hostel space and a phone that could music (which got nicked the next day. Someone replied to a text montha later, and it and been bought in a pub in Dewsbury). This album that I didn't know about is going to be an interesting ride..

THIS was the song we both agreed was Important and we could both love on our first date (black country roots all round). I'd forgotten all about it.
We'd both been accused of being Satan by people we'd loved who were experiencing psychosis, and it terrified both of us (the devil in me bit).

When he warned me not to get involved because he was a massive bastard, I just cackled and said I was an even bigger one. He was a born again Christian.
He made me feel stronger and fight harder and loved more than I ever have ever, even if i was just in his temporary reality before he got Unwell and then portalled off to the next me.

He promised to debate with Satan whenever he died, and told me to never ever again use him as a higher power to look after him (I don't do religion or pray, but I asked Something to keep him safe - when I was basically asking him to just keep himself safe) when I couldn't cope or find him, because I was perfectly capable enough to be my own.

Portal days of yore, heavy weight lifting and unexpectedly resilient emotional muscle gain. He was right.
