music! and lyrics '-) shamelessly picked at [info]alpheratz's. here be the lyrics fragments. guess & comment!!

1. Life is something set to music | I can hear it when I'm sad | There's a chord in every muscle | Every kiss you ever had

2. When I am with you | There's no reason to pretend | That when I am with you I feel flames again

3. Surrender is easy | I know you do me no harm | But your innocence haunts me | The most fatal of charms

4. Why do you hurt yourself? | You do it very well | You do it so politely | That you couldn't even tell

5. I'm so excited | about the prospects of meeting with a stranger in an alley, | I'm so excited, | I hope they're rough, | I hope their skin is tough | like Spanish leather

6. Confined to sex, we pressed against | The limits of the sea: | I saw there were no oceans left | For scavengers like me

7. I see the bright and hollow sky | Over the city's ripped backsides | And everything looks good tonight

8. Conversion, software version 7.0, | Looking at life through the eyes of a tire hub, | Eating seeds as a pastime activity

9. Knock, knock…are you alone? | No one’s out here and I was not followed. | Love, love…you’re already home. | Party’s over and you don’t look so good

10. But I am married to your charms and grace | I just go crazy like the good old days

11. It's colder than before | The seasons took all they had come for | Now winter dances here

12. I went in the desert | I went searching for the truth | I stumbled across you

13. I want you to know | He's not coming back | He's bloated and frozen | Still there's no point in letting it go to waste

14. There's always a siren | Singing you to shipwreck

15. My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore | Scraping through my head till I don't want to sleep anymore

[hm. that's one somewhat morbid looking collection. now I wonders whether anyone could be nice enough to write a story based on it, pretty pls.]

over here be a song that made my day & night. it's amazing and hilarious, and its opening just about broke my XF-tuned heart #-)
it's in a heavily accented Moldavian language, part of the charm, but I provide a hopefully adequate translation.
enjoy '-)

ah, what progress made!
instead of a precious something I did not dare touch for days there is now a precious story idea I don't quite dare to write [yet].
it hit me at work, and... wow. this unmistakable undescribable feeling of a full-fledged idea arriving at top speed... I wonder if pro/more prolific writers ever get used to it, because the rush is mindblowing.
even if it never gets written, that perfect moment as it comes..!
*exhales slowly*
the thing is, I've been suddenly reminded of my being a sci-fi girl after all. now I hold in me hands a complete skeleton of E.T., a gothic short story.
shoot me.
complete with, quite literally, space opera, floating heads aflame, animal magnetism & stuff. oh, and, of course, character death [which alone, of all things, is canon].
I wanna-wanna-wanna write it, I just don't wanna fuck it up [too badly]. shoot me.
~
speaking of not writing, there's this [thanx, Lew]. I'm, ah, dying to read the final collection... and I didn't write anything because deadlines & competition do freak me out, but mostly because my mind immediately made an U-turn and supplied a neat plot bunny about a youngster who somehow makes the Machine malfunction. *kicks mind*

Tom McRae, Human Remains
the picutre is burned
at the edge
and you're looking away
looking for what's next
and strange
how through time
we look the same
your eyes and mine
looking away
too scared to see
human remains.

and soon enough
soon enough
this will all be
a me-mo-ry
and soon enough
soon enough
this will fade like
the photograph
of you and me.

our history is just
in our blood
and history like love
is never enough
and I recognise
so much of you
in these eyes
always so blue
why always so blue?

and soon enough
soon enough
this will all be
a memory
and soon enough
soon enough
this will fade like
a photograph...

those things that I've lost
and things that I've sold
this case is now closed
the trail has gone cold
and your sticks all are snakes
I throw them aside
they twist 'till they break
but they never die
this is not enough
this is not enough
this is not enough
this is not enough for me
it's not enough
this is not enough
this is not enough
for any of us to be....

the picture is burned
at the edge
and you're looking away
looking for what's next
tell me what's next...

It's way too late
to be this locked inside ourselves
The trouble is
that you're in love with someone else
It should be me.
Oh, it should be me
Your sacred parts, your getaways
You come along on summer days
Tenderly,
tastefully

And so may we make time
Try to find somebody else
This place is mine

etc., etc., perfectly...

I mean...

from So Long, Marianne:

We met when we were almost young
deep in the green lilac park.
You held on to me like I was a crucifix,
as we went kneeling through the dark...

and then,

For now I need your hidden love.
I'm cold as a new razor blade.
You left when I told you I was curious,
I never said that I was brave.

if it is not love...
...and then there is Suzanne:

And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind...

yes, love indeed '-)

first, it was a pleasant walk in sunshine. then it was the most wonderful, surreal dance in warm rain and sunshine. and then it's got cold.
