Pour Some Sugar on Me (live) :: Emm Gryner She shows up in the late afternoons on random Thursdays, always unexpected, even though she opens her eyes wide with expectation that you were doing just that, expecting her. She never explains the absence in-between, where she goes on the days she doesn’t return your texts, or the nights when you lie in bed wondering if she is simply an apparition, a visceral visual you’ve made up to ease your loneliness. Its always when you begin to believe that she’s gone for good that she shows up again. Your name sounds … Continue reading In the name of love :: Under the Covers
Stephanie Says :: Tele Novella “I only write songs about girls I’ve never known.” He stated as some kind of fact, in an attempt to assuage his own page turning lies, and to smooth over that wrinkle of worry embedding a little deeper on Stephanie’s forehead. She had sat in the back corner of the bar watching him play, the crowd over twenty this time, and not more than a three or four actual “friends of the band”. Every song that he sang touted the holiness or heartbreak of another girl, none of them her name, none of them her. … Continue reading It’s all good or bad :: Under the Covers
I’m Waiting for the Man (live) :: Echo & The Bunnymen They stood out in the rain, no words passing between, just the silent sentiment of a boy handing a girl his jacket to wear. The girl’s hands shook and her lips had gone numb, a translucent purple shade that Cover Girl doesn’t offer. Everything in the girl was longing to go back inside. The boy felt it, too. They both wanted shelter from the storm, yet, together they remained, still standing there, shivering in the cold; and they say it never rains in California. During the day she could … Continue reading Until tomorrow, but that’s just some other time :: Under the Covers
Goodbye Horses (live) :: The Airborne Toxic Event The wind swept cold colliding caresses on our skin as we ran across the street, around the corner, and into the shelter of my car. The seats were cold, too, but the engine eventually heated up, wrapping around us like an embrace, like words left unsaid. I was still such a West Coast girl, temperate temperatures, despite my roller coaster highs and lows of mood. My shyness was showing, paling my complexion, keeping the words from pouring out. This was the moment for goodbyes, for a trade of papers full of ink … Continue reading I’ve seen the sky just begin to fall :: Under the Covers
There is a Light That Never Goes Out (live) :: Pete Yorn Some days I don’t know what to say about any of it. Brush it off and look away, chalk it up to another indecision, another bad decision, or a detour that went nowhere fast. It was a case of the right place at the wrong time, and you knew it as much as I did. Still, those late mornings with the sun already so hot in the sky above, the way we talked then, the way we shared silences, it could have been something more. The bus was … Continue reading Take me anywhere :: Under the Covers
