The West Coast

Jason Schwartzman is much fun.



The West Coast lyrics by Jason Schwartzman

For a second there I thought you disappeared
It rains a lot this time of year
We both go together if one falls down
I talk out loud like you're still around
no oh...

And I Miss you.
I'm going back home to the west coast
I wish you
would put yourself in my suitcase
I love you
standing all alone in a black coat.
I miss you
I'm going back home to the west coast
Come on everybody...

And if you shake her hard then she will appear
Tonight I think I'll be staying here
And you never didn't like this town
I talk out loud like you're still around
No no

And I Miss you.
I'm going back home to west coast
I wish you
would you put yourself in my suitcase
I love you
standing all alone in a black coat.
I miss you
I'm going back home to the west coast

a whimpering, simpering child again

I can't get enough of this song. It's his voice! It's bewitching!

Things that make me happy

Driving home on a perfect late afternoon. The kind of afternoon that brings to mind childhood memories of frolicking in the park, because that's where I'd be if I were 9-years-old without a care in the world on a gorgeous day like this.

And singing along (badly!) to the loveliest Brazilian song.

(Everything's okay for that little while on the drive home.)

For Real- Okkervil River



Some nights I thirst for real blood
For real knives
For real cries
And then the flash of steel from real guns
In real life
Really fills my mind

And I really miss what really did exist
When I held your throat so tight
And I miss the bus as it swerved from us
Almost came crashing to its side

Sometimes the blood from real cuts
Feels real nice
When it's really mine
And if you want it to be real
Come over for one night
And we can really, really climb

And those blue bridge lights might really burn most bright
As we watch that dark lake rise
And if you really want to see what really matters most to me
Just take a real short drive

It's just a drive into the dark stretch
Long stretch of night
Will really stretch this shaking mind
And this room, unlit, unheated
And the ceiling striped
And the dark black blinds

I want to know this time if you're really finally mine
I need to know that you're not lying so I want to see you tried
And I don't want to hear you say it shouldn't really be this way
'Cause I like this way just fine

'Cause there's nothing quite like the blinding light
That curtains cast aside
And no attempt is made to explain away
The things that really, really, really, really, really are behind

You can't hide
You can't hide
You can't hide

Excellent emoness. :D

The sync of the beat



Fifer, I think this is For Emma? Or is it Skinny Love?

Either way, this live version is EXCELLENT.
