I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Listen to them, maybe? I don't know, just a thought. :P

I'm about to order Supergrass's greatest hits. And probably something by Belle & Sebastian too since I need to get up to date with their stuff - either Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant or Dear Catastrophe Waitress.

It's pretty good, but from my initial listenings to it, Erika Hoffman (female vocalist lady) uses way too many effects on her vocals, and it really diminishes everything Fred Thomas writes and plays.

If you want to check out Saturday Looks Good To Me, you really should look into getting "All Your Summer Songs" first. It's their best album, hands down. Fred Thomas' musical ideas remind me of a mix of Stephin Merritt (Magnetic Fields) and Phil Spector (genius producer).

In other words, if you like rock music with a motown feel to it, get something by Saturday Looks Good To Me.
