Fold back the morning and bring on the night
There's an alien moon
That hangs between darkness and light
Latitude, between me and you
You're a straight line of distance
A cold stretch of black across blue
Latitude

It always interests me what memories a song will pull up.

This song is pretty much all about high school for me. I listened to the whole Made in England album a lot while touring Europe with the family in 1998. Continued to listened to it for much of the following year, to the point where I could nearly recite each song. Believe, Made in England, Belfast, Latitude, Lies, Blessed.

I'd love to see Elton John in concert.

Current Music: Elton John - Latitude

Trying not to lose my head

But I've never been this scared before

Tell you what I'll do instead

Lay my body down on the floor

To forget what I've done

Silhouette 'til the good Lord come

All we know is distance

We're close and then we run

Kiss away the difference

I know you hate this one

Trying not to lose your own

Boxing up everything, you've got

All you ever knew of home

You're scared scared to see

Your mother there in the door

You wonder, where did the years go?

All we know is distance

We're close and then we run

Kiss away the difference

I know you hate this one

But this is how the story ends

Or have we just begun

To kiss away the difference

I know you hate this one

The violins make no sound

And I begin to feel the ground

All we know is distance

We're close and then we run

Kiss away the difference

I know you hate this one

But this is where the story ends

Or have we just begun

To kiss away the difference?

I know you hate this one

Listen til he's twenty

Last's til twenty one

Rushing past the window

Like he's watching his own son

And sixty years of sorrow

Brought five to six of bliss

Left my mother's mother

Without so much as a kiss

Current Music: The Fray - Where The Story Ends

I gave it all, my cards have fallen.
But I'm still alive! And in the end...
Believe my friend, I will survive...
Glory and heartache, and some of the joy …

Go, seize the day! Wake up and say,
This is an extraordinary life!
Enjoy today, come what may
This is an extraordinary life!

Current Location: United States, Alabama, Madison
Current Music: Asia - Extraordinary Life

Some will get to where they're going
Find a place they've always been
Never understand the mystery
Turn around and start again

Current Music: Spock's Beard - Edge of the In-Between

I watch it all change,
take the news of the day
and throw it away.
Time will kill all the pain,
faith will cure the decay
of all this blind ambition;
the greed brings us together.
Stay strong, stay true, be brave - it all comes down to you.

Current Music: Ozzy Osbourne - Life Won't Wait

Everybody had their doubts
So they tried to pull me under
Everytime I felt the strain
Someone sent a sense of wonder...

Current Music: Transatlantic - Duel With The Devil

It never fails to amaze me how a song can bring up a memory. In this case, one from a little more than six years ago. Hell, I even blogged about it.

I was on my way to spring break ... my last spring break as a college student. As the story goes...

I got on at the Wire Road exit (#42) and started crusing. For about 15 miles it was great and then we hit traffic. Seems a semi decided now would be a good time to catch fire and block three lanes of traffic, so traffic was coming to a standstill. Only the girl in the Nissan a few cars up didn't notice it and rear-ended a Corolla.

Being the nice guy I am, I stopped over to help. The chick was very, very cute, wearing but a black corset, ribbon around her neck, and a pair of jeans. I wanted to bend her over the car and ... nevermind. But I behaved and comforted her for about an hour and a half while we waited for the State Trooper to get there.

It's funny. I can't believe I didn't post this in the entry, but I still remember peeking in the back window of her busted car, and seeing a copy of Frank Herbert's Dune in the her partially open bag. We spent the time waiting for the State Trooper to get there discussing Dune and other science fiction classics (I myself was working on some Heinlin at the time). Then, once the State Trooper got there, we said goodbye and I got back on the road.

In my blog post about spring break a week later, I dedicated the lyrics to Bowling For Soup's Girl All The Bad Guys Want to her.

I never even got her name. I guess it just wasn't meant to be at the time.

I wonder what ever happened to her...

Current Music: Bowling for Soup - Girl All The Bad Guys Want

And I'd promise you anything for another shot at life
Imperfect boys with their perfect lives
Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy...

Current Mood: nostalgic

Singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt has died in an Athens, Ga. hospital after taking an overdose of muscle relaxants, said a family spokesman. He was 45.

You're in Santa Monica on a numbered street
I'll be on a salty highway burning up a lucky streak...

Current Music: Widespread Panic - Protein Drink > Sewing Machine

And everyone I’ve loved before
Flashed before my eyes
And nothin’ mattered anymore
I looked into the sky

Well we all want something better than
We wish for something new
Well we all want something beautiful
Wish for something true
Been lookin’ for a reason and
Something to lose

When the wheels come down
When the wheels touch ground
And you feel like it’s all over
There’s another round for you
When the wheels come down

Current Music: Foo Fighters - Wheels
