there death has honor.
i can’t do it myself.
because it’s weak, and if there’s a hell it’ll send me there.
but i at least could have honor.

i have known happiness
stared the sun blind
shivered in your presence
but no longer will i
the conclusion is there:
i will never hold you again;
i will die staring the sun blind
whispering “i have known happiness my brother”
but no longer will i
I want to tell you all something.
I fell in love with Ben Kweller’s music the same time I fell in love with Elliott Smith and Devendra Banhart; with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Joanna Newsom. And there is one song by all of them that burns my soul and twists my insides so hard that nostalgia and hopes for the future bleed into themselves like chalk washed from the sidewalk and dried again in confusion and a wonderful spectacle all at once. For some reason I know I will never love a song like each one of those songs.
But by God, I will never love a song more than this one from Ben Kweller. And almost from anyone else. Thank you so much.

you seem too quiet. i’m afraid that if i didn’t say anything i would barely hear from you. i should be okay with that. because of the different platforms we stand upon now. you aren’t in the wrong at all… and i am trying to be better on the outside because that means the inside will follow suit but got do i miss everything and just wish i knew that you missed it too.
PAYDAY YAYAY
It’s never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It’s never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her
It’s never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It’s never over, she’s the tear that hangs inside my song forever
This was my view of downtown Monterey, as I walked into work this morning. For some reason I thought it was extra pretty.
