The Light Collects & Projects

I wrote on these walls, a simple charm, to keep the wolves at bay.
Gave all my heart the strength of my arms
To hold you close and safe.
But I kept my eyes closed, I’ll never know
Where the shadows are these days.
I stood in the room of a house divided
And it washed away from me
— Basia Bulat, “Heart Of My Own”
So we’ve been selected in this beautiful lottery. We struggled so long but it ended so easy. It’s starting to surface, all golden and god-like, this feeling we had every day and every night.
— Bright Eyes “Blue Angels Air Show”
Let’s go out, together.
Broad daylight, in the street.
I’ll take you over anything.
— Jeff Tweedy ‘Radio King’
I’m beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you might find you are starving
and eating all of the words that you said.
— Ani Difranco, “32 Flavors”
Out of the darkness,
And into the fire.
I tell you I love you,
And my heart’s in the strangest place
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.

Bob Dylan, “Isis”

If you fall for your reflection you will drown in a dream.
In your hands, I’m quite simply a different instrument.
— of Montreal, ”Authentic Pyrrhic Remission”
Patterns in my mind now moving slow.
Sorrow all across the surface roads, smoothing out the edges of the stone.
— Conor Oberst, “Lenders In the Temple”
How can I trust my fractious heart, knowing I have the enemy gene?
— of Montreal, “Enemy Gene”
I don’t resent you, but I can’t settle the debt of our serrated history and those I haven’t got over yet. And it cheapens us.
— of Montreal - “Dour Percentage”
She pulls me out of time’s cruel spell
For long enough to finally tell
That nothing is wrong.
— Dawes “So Well”
Some people were just meant to be a memory,
To be called upon to remind us how we’ve changed.
— Dawes “Coming Back to a Man”
I’m in a crisis, I need help. C’mon mood, shift, shift back to good again.
— of Montreal “Heimdalsgate Like A Promethean Curse”
Just enough dark to see… how you’re the light over me.
