Band Members: Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.
Maya Angelou =================================================== I can't stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession, let alone two years or ten years. If you can, then it ain't music, it's close-order drill or exercise or yodeling or something, not music. Billy Holiday=====================================================
==================================
and of these cut- throat busted sunsets,
these cold and damp white mornings
I have grown weary.
if though my cracked and dusted dime-store lips
I spoke these words out loud would no one hear me?
lay your blouse across the chair,
let fall the flowers from from your hair
and kiss me with that country mouth, so plain.
outside, the rain is tapping on the leaves,
to me it sounds like they're applauding us the the quiet love we made.
will I always feel this way?
so empty, so estranged===================================================
======Angels fall from heaven, or so the story goes. But I believe they saunter out of blond brick buildings wearing black jackets and red Docs. They do not glide through the air with a halo over flowing golden hair, but swagger over cracked pavement, hiding their wings under graying old jackets. They keep their wings duct taped down and never reveal a smile until the moment is right. Angels strum guitars and sing about old cars. They do not pluck on the strings of harps, but tenderly pizzicato on the strings of my heart.
