A collection of items, namely cutlery, shining silver dinnerware is what pops up into my head first.
Then I think of volleyball - setting the ball for someone to spike into the opposing teams court.
Then I think ready, prepared.
What about you?
Connotation and denotation, fascinating stuff.
Which ties into perceptions and perspectives and what not.
Which makes me want to try something.
Jack (and anyone else who wants to)
listen to You And Me by Dave Matthews. Listen intently, put your head down, close your eyes, let the music envelop you, allow your mind to flow.
Tell me what happens in your brain when you hear this song.
(you have to go first because it was my idea)
I don't know what it is about this song, but I seem to feel compelled to listen to it at nighttime (LOVE the double ts in that word. So symmetrical and sharp, but not overly so because of the rounded n and m encasing it. Mhhh). It's really quite beautiful. And it takes me somewhere else.
Maybe I subconsciously love it before going to bed because I'm dream prepping.
Here are the lyrics
Wanna pack your bags, Something small Take what you need and we disappear Without a trace we'll be gone, gone The moon and the stars can follow the car and then when we get to the ocean We gonna take a boat to the end of the world All the way to the end of the world Oh, and when the kids are old enough We gonna teach them to fly You and me together, we could do anything, baby You and me together yes, yes You and I, we're not tied to the ground Not falling but rising like rolling around Eyes closed above the rooftops Eyes closed, we're gonna spin through the stars Our arms wide as the sky We gonna ride the blue all the way to the end of the world To the end of the world Oh, and when the kids are old enough We gonna teach them to fly You and me together, we could do anything, baby You and me together yes, yes We can always look back at what we did All these memories of you and me baby But right now it's you and me forever girl And you know we could do better than anything that we did You know that you and me, we could do anything You and me together, we could do anything, baby You and me together yeah, yeah Two of us together, we could do anything, baby You and me together yeah, yeah Two of us together yeah, yeah Two of us together, we could do anything, baby Something small, till we reach the end of the world.
Those last few guitar chords do something beautiful to my insides.
I think that last sentence should be a quote.
ReplyDeletehahaa :)
ReplyDeletewhat do you think of the song Noella?
The song inspires me, in the way that odd things do- I'm sure you know what I mean, it's that feeling you get when you pick up a pencil and gaze out the window and there is something about the way the sunlight reflects off that boy's hair or the way that girl smiles when she talks, like there is something unbelievably sad about the beautiful day outside. Like watching two field mice chase each other around and roll around and you can see the tiny heartbeats going so fast you wonder if they will ever stop.
ReplyDeleteThat is what that song does to me. It makes me want to write and draw and breathe with it.
