I Don' Know? Chelonis R. Jones
I never thought I'd get to this point in my life
emotions rung like a towel -vows mangled and knifed
...it's not the point that you're leaving
...or that you've found somebody new
-it's when i asked if our love was gone
you stuttered with a glare, saying...
I don't know
I don't know if love will somehow return
I don't know
if you walk out that door, the passion would burn
I don't know
...and as the train plowed through the rain
you fell to your knees and you cried
...but YOU were the one with a change of heart
-didn't matter how hard i tried
I would've DIED for this love -now I got to be strong
it killed me when you said: you felt it wasn't right
. . . BUT YOU COULD BE WRONG!?!
I don't know
I don't know if love will somehow return
if you walk out that door, the passion would burn
I don't know

An open letter to Memory Tapes regarding the song Bicycle
Thought I'd share an email I sent a friend about your song bicycle:
I really really really like the orchestration of this song,
give it a listen all the way through because it needs a full listen to hear the movement and palindrome of the melody.
Simply brilliant, plus the name, Bicycle, what could go wrong?
The lyrics (I think they are right)
I'm in love with you little sister
We ride home in the night
From under our feet The rain paints the streets
With the stars
Passing cars the red drips behind them
We could swallow them all
But views in this town are wearing me down
Let's take off
No one will know that we'd gone
My interpretation:
As far as I can tell the song is about two girls in a small town
who are in love and decide to move away from home so that may be themselves.
*Sniff* *Tear*
(I know, insert heckle about my Bronski Beat/Jimmy Sommerville obsession with smalltown boy, I could care less)
On the arrangement:
WTF who writes this well?
Total, whole, like the sound of a scale completing, or evolution wiping it's hands when the job is done.
On the instrumentation:
I Really, really like the Bernard Sumner-esque guitar part in the end, like the last gasp of the Hacienda's lifespan at 11:59 PM, better than anything New Order has offered in the last 20 years maybe.
Shivers on first listen as well as the 200th. But that's my opinion, what do you think?
Dayve Hawk, you amaze me.
If I could write a song so complete, I could die happy.

Relapse or Reunion?
Shameful self-promotion, fame-retardant, shooting oneself in the foot with a starter pistol.... and still keeping up with the race.
What do I say here? Fuck it. Posted here are my remixes and edits and music I like.
Enjoy.
