through the years i've enjoyed making artbooks through shutterfly, among other cool personalized items..
the rows of never opened doors, the abstracts..
of course one devoted to my toyroom i posted about at the lost & found toy blog here extensively..
i wrote a book once about our childhood..
& also some edgy poetry back in the day..
& there are all those journals, i guess all that writing is like my own personal life library?
i've been thinking about writing another book..
this time something different, a book of short stories i'm calling 'the toyroom'..
based on some of the characters found in the ghost gallery..
i've already started..
the shutterfly books on the a of e..
including our halloween album, my january trees & cemeteria photo album books..
writing's a long process, & i'm taking my time these days.. but someday i'll update..
meanwhile i've been observing that in life i think your brain & body & defenses try to put everything on hold as long as it can until you start to feel older & weaker & then it all can just overwhelm you..
or is this just me?
some lyrics of the day from the smile:
speech bubbles
we run like fools
our city is in flames
the bells ringing
the bells ringing
left in a station with a note of poems
now there's never any place
never any place to put my feet back down
no, there's never anywhere
the scene is rolled away, lights are taken down
on a newspaper stand
any feeble branch to put my weight upon
well i lie to myself
anywhere i dare to put my feet back down
in the pouring rain
who'll find the vein
put the needle in?
& who hears that voice?
it's like bells ringing
how will i know you?
how will i know you?
continued as always in the comments where i'm listing my personal mix choice for the new smile album..
bren/ghost
#thesmile #thomyorke #music #songs #lyrics #infj #radiohead
so as i mentioned in the post i have a preferred mix for the new smile album to be played in.. don't get me wrong, the album is great, but i think it has much better flow this way with the louder retro punkish tracks at the end:
1 waving a white flag
2 pana-vision
3 speech bubbles
4 the same
5 skrting on the surface
6 free in the knowledge
7 open the floodgates
8 thin thing
9 the smoke
10 a hairdryer
11 the opposite
12 we don't know what tomorrow brings
10 you will never work in television again
& more lyrics for the day:
waving a white flag
out of my sight
out of my mind
out of my sight
out of what's coming
out of my sight
out of my sight
out of my sight
couldn't move a muscle
couldn't get the breath in
couldn't see the face when
didn't wanna listen
couldn't scratch your door down
couldn't wave a white flag
didn't see you come in
there has to be a way out
there's another way out
there's another way out
as the camera pulls into a singularity
rings on his fingers
bells on his toes, but
didn't see it coming
waving a white flag
you're somebody else when you're down
you're somebody's face in the moon
you're somebody else left behind..
love stanley donwood & dr tchock's art videos for these too <3
