there's this song by the Eels that I've been listening to a lot lately. it starts out with a beat that reminds me of a Crash Test Dummies song (probably off God Shuffled His Feet) and you're maybe thinking about tapping your foot or something. then the strings come in with this exquisitely simple line, first a viola and then the violin, and something inside me just breaks and I dissolve into a little boneless puddle on the floor. I don't know why I find it so heartachingly gorgeous but I do.
so this is for Duncan, because he doesn't mind when I "discover" his favorite bands and appropriate them for my own even though he's been listening to them for years, and also because tomorrow is three years.

you don't have a clue
what it is like to be next to you
I'm here to tell you
that it is good, that it is true
birds singing their song
old paint is peeling
this is that fresh, that fresh feeling
words can't be that strong
my heart is reeling
this is that fresh feeling.
