"Maps" 2004-02-01 - 3:46 p.m. older - previous - next - profile - host - my band - my lj ***I wrote this entry at 4 AM; but my internet was fucking up so I couldn't post it. Now here it is at 4 PM:*** I hate nights like this where no matter how tired I am, sleep just will not come but there's... a certain... freedom to nights like this when the rest of the world is asleep and it's just you 4 AM when the lights are on and you're still wearing your clothes and it's just a continuation of your day is a different 4 AM than when the lights are off and when you're in your sleep attire and it's now Night when you're supposed to be asleep and all the concerns and worries of the day and your life are irrelevant from your position in your room; in the darkness and I hate nights like this because I know when I do finally get to sleep, like I want to; it's just a one way trip to a time when my responsibilities and concerns are crushing and the freedom and detachment I'm feeling right now will be nothing but a faded memory and I can't stand the thought of not feeling like this I don't know earlier today I had a new Hershey's Smore Bar that my mom brought home and all I can really think about is: "damn, I wish I had another one of those" tomorrow/later today Stephanie and Co. are going on a picnic to one of the local mountains at 8 AM I would need to get up at 6 to get dressed and meet them there in time to leave I took a sleeping pill and feel asleep at about 1 woke up at 3 and I'm still up and now I think I'm just going to say 'fuck it' it's just easier I don't know I'm kinda proud of myself for not agonizing over it but I feel shitty for changing my mind at the last minute like this oh well the other day I discovered the Yeah Yeah Yeahs yeah, I'd heard them before but I hadn't really gotten into them then I caught the very end of 'Maps' on MTV; and I became obsessed with it I had to see the whole video so I went and downloaded it, and I just became enthralled it's just so beautiful with the distorted lights and the way Karen O. looks like she's on the verge of tears as she does her 'hold-the-mic-at-different-angles' stage act "beautiful" is the only word that even comes close I went out and bought Fever to Tell later that day and I've watched the 'Maps' video more times in the last two days than I've watched Salival or Music Bank since I got them I have to admit, their earlier stuff[which was a little more harsh and chaotic] didn't impress me much but the more produced sound of Fever to Tell is amazing I'm so glad I'm [in theory]going to see them live on the 9th but yeah speaking of music 311 did a cover of 'Lovesong' by The Cure; and it's on the radio now now, I like 311 and I like the Cure and 311 covering the Cure has potential but they did it reggae and they did that song that song has been kinda personal to me but I'm sure it's kinda personal to everyone who hears it and doing it reggae just really bites so now I have to hate 311 I don't know I'm tired and hungry and insomnia-ridden due to my nocturnal habits that have developed since I finished school, it's been a long time since I've had insomnia I'd forgotten how bittersweet it feels it's been a long time Sweet Dreams Pack up I've strayed Enough Oh, say say say Oh, say say say Oh, say say say Oh, say say say Oh, say say say Wait, they don't love you like I love you Wait, they don't love you like I love you Ma-a-a-a-ps, wait! They don't love you like I love you Made off Don't stray My kind's your kind I'll stay the same Pack up Don't stray Oh, say say say Oh, say say say Oh, say say say Oh, say say say Oh, say say say Wait! they don't love you like I love you Wait! they don't love you like I love you Ma-a-a-aps, wait! They don't love you like I love you Wait! they don't love you like I love you Wait! they don't love you like I love you Ma-a-a-aps, wait! They don't love you like I love you -Maps The Yeah Yeah Yeahs � � |
