Ask me anything
Hi. I'm Matt. This has been a place of regurgitation and frivolity (don't fret, it will continue to be) but, with any luck and a titch of effort, it will also become a place where I think, document and be more me than it has been previously. Run on sentence much?

“Simple Song” - The Shins
I snipped on the Twatters that I am really excited to be depressed by the upcoming The Shins album. Naturally, it seems obvious. But after hearing this single from the album, I think I might be in for something very different (or this song is the only happy song on the album). This song about a weeding ring and bits of a relationship is instantly my favorite song of the moment and probably in my Top 3 Favorite Shins Songs ever.
So, maybe - just maybe - I should be really excited to be made happier by the upcoming The Shins album.

Simple Song
Well, this is just a simple song,
To say what you done.
I told you ‘bout all those fears,
And away they did run.
You sure must be strong,
And you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun.When I was just nine-years-old,
I swear that I dreamt,Your face on a football field,
And a kiss that I kept,
Under my vest.
Apart from everything,
With the heart in my chest.I know that things can really get rough,
When you go it alone,
Don’t go thinking you gotta be tough,
To bleed like a stone.
Could be there’s nothing else in our lives so critical,
As this little hole.My life in an upturned boat,
Marooned on a cliff.
You brought me a great big flood,
And you gave me a lift.
Girl, what a gift.
Will you tell me with your tongue,
And your breath was in my lungs,
And we float up through the rift.I know that things can really get rough,
When you go it alone.
Don’t go thinking you gotta be tough,
To bleed like a stone.
Could be there’s nothing else in our lives so critical,
As this little hole.Well, this would be a simple song,
To say what you done.
I told you ‘bout all those fears,
And away they did run.
You sure must be strong,
When you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun.Remember walking a mile to your house,
Aglow in the dark?
I made a fumbling play for your heart,
And the act struck a spark.
You wore a charm on the chain that I stole,
Especial for you.
Love’s such a delicate thing that we do,
With nothing to prove,
Which I never knew. -
Amazing photo from this guy. I love that the car is obviously a Volvo.
