the wedding singers

Gasometers they rise and fall, too slow to see them breathing, just like the shadow that comes and goes between desire and grieving. just like the shadow that comes and goes, I know where this is heading. When could I ever say no to you? Of course I'll sing at your wedding.
I lost my marbles years ago - they look better on you: glowing softly at your throat like some segmented rainbow, reflected in your engagement ring - that small, surprising halo. Of course I'll sing at your wedding - when could I ever say no?
The wedding singers come and go between the cake and the speeches. They take the stage and take a bow between the ring and the disco. Between the ring and the disco, between the truth and pretending. When could I ever say no to you? Of course I'll sing at your wedding.

unreachable, perhaps I put you on a pedestal, or is it just that from the trench I'm in you're unreachable? Unreachable, and the gulf between unsailable, you're in view but unavailable, you're unreachable. Unreachable, and the walls around unbreachable - each alone, though the other's standing near. But even with your arms around me and your gentle kiss, I can't feel you, and it's me that is unreachable.

leaving do

Tonight it's your big leaving do, and my last chance to say goodbye. behind your friends I'll join the queue. I loved you in a quiet way. In loads of workplaces, I suppose, two people like us part each day, one unaware the other holds a love, but in a quiet way. I'm looking for a taxi now, and your best friends are still with you. At least I took the chance to say I love you in a quiet way.

30. Journey of the Canada Goose

Just unbelievable space rock. Sparse, meditative, using repetition to help you reach the higher spheres. You won't even notice how much time has passed before you come back into focus and realize how the track has changed, Seriously one of the best records I've heard in a long time.
