Astronaut :: Amanda Palmer
Friday Five
5 Things this song reminds me of:
1. Years of my life spent in not quite right, or often really fucking wrong, relationships.
2. That feeling of wanting to define oneself in love, or as a part of someone else, and never feeling enough – for them, for you, or within all of it, and how I have turned into something ugly, and sometimes cruel, in the end.
3. Coachella 2009, and finally getting to see Amanda live. She was so incredible.
4. More than a few songs remind me of this – but once again reminded of how I wish I had not given up piano. Honestly, though, I wish I had been given the freedom to write and create music that was more fitting to me then the limited music I was confined to in all those years of lessons.
5. A random thought – or maybe not so random for me – of how I might want to make a playlist of space/space travel songs. Hmmmm…(watch this space tomorrow – and please, leave some suggestions in the comments)
Tori Amos, Space Dog:)
