meandering mind

listening to: Thrice - Moving Mountains

i'm so addicted to the new thrice album. i gave it to lauren to borrow and i can't wait until i have it back tuesday so i can listen to it more. luckily i have it on my computer.

today i wrote about half of a song. 2 verses, long verses. a short bridge also. it looks like it's going to be pretty intense. it's about the sky, the ocean and the earth. i'm picturing a lot of instrumental-ness. the feel for the song was quite influenced by Thrice's "the earth isn't humming" which is a cover of a band called Frodus. i want to look them up now.

k i just looked up frodus on youtube and found the original song that thrice covered. the singer sounds a LOT like Dustin used to on older thrice albums. i like the thrice version of the song better, more soul. i was so amazed today when i realized something about The Alchemy Index. at the end of each disc there is a song. that seems obvious right? but. each song at the end is lyrically written from the standpoint of that element. like, the Fire one talks about war and using fire for evil. I realized all this while listening to "child of dust" the last song on the earth cd. I was thinking about the meaning of the first two lines "dear prodigal you are my son and i, supplied you not with spirit but with shape." I was trying to fit God into it, because i thought it fit, but i was wondering how God would not supply with spirit. but then i realized it's about a child "of the dust," man was formed from the Earth. God gave spirit, shape was from the Earth. wow i love Dustin Kenrue, he is my hero hands down.

but yeah, if i finish the song i started today it's going to be pretty sweet. the ending i think will be a little.... maniacal. everybody goes a little crazy sometimes.

hmm. here's some lines i came up with while driving home.

i don't subscribe to depression
but i'm known to be prone to obsession
and i'm afraid that i might learn a lesson
to use an expression;
"the two go hand in hand"

that's all. goodnight.
