I dream in song;

Last night I dreamed of two songs:

"Red Elephant" by Sunny Day Real Estate. In my dream, the part after 1:06 was blindingly loud.

Stay around
Running out
Time servant
Trip through the warm wind

Feeling
Sulking
My impression grows
Swayed stars part of my room
And you...

You climbed the wreck
Cold diamond heart
Still beating
And no one ever knew the reason why

Well I'd suspect
You would come to terms
With my hand
My eyes reflect your surface very well

Why'd I compromise
Swayed stars and time is slow
The way you restarts again

I'm all talk again
I'm on top of the world
The way you restarts in me too

The night a field and I'll take you there
The years of worry aren't my century

We climbed the wreck
Cold diamond heart
Still beating
And no one ever knew the reason why



"King of the Road" by Piebald. I love the first lines of this song, which inform the listeners what the band members have been occupied with since their last record.

Here is a live performance from their final show:


Andy went back to school. He got sick of Newbury comics
Aaron still rides a lot, except now, now he's just fatter
Alex took over for Alex Van Halen after his major surgery
John, well, he got married to Laura and I teach their kid in first grade

Thought I saw you on the road last night
I need to get my eyes checked
can't beleive I loved something as yellow as you
he's gone, so deal with it, man
wait, after all, you did get us across the world and back

Would you park at the station
my mind is playing tricks on me
can't believe I loved something as yellow as you
he's gone, so deal with it, man
wait, after all, you did get us across the world and back, hell yeah

Loved you in a Carolina
i need to rub my eyes
we keep your door like it's a postcard from you from camp
maybe see you at a junkyard soon
oh man, i really hope not
can't believe I loved something as yellow as you
he's gone, so deal with it, man
wait, after all, you did get us across the world and back

Maybe you're in auto heaven
oh man, i really hope so
can't beleive I loved something as yellow as you
he's gone, so deal with it, man
wait, after all, you did get us across the world and back
wait, after all, you did get us across the world and back, hell yeah
