song of a (LONG) thursday night
(i’m in fact surprised at myself, since lately i haven’t been able to deal with kanye at all. but then, this “old” gem crept up on the five-star playlist shuffle…and i thought, hey, why not? i do love this track, after all. who doesn’t love a song about working at the gap?)
kanye west, “spaceship (feat. glc & consequence)“

song of an unusually productive thursday
the decemberists, “the rake’s song“
it’s really important to know why this song is so weird. so listen to it, but here are the lyrics:
I had entered into a marriage
In the summer of my twenty-first year
And the bells rang for our wedding
Only now do I remember it clear
Alright, alright, alright
No more a rake and no more a bachelor
I was wedded and it whetted my thirst
Until her womb start spilling out babies
Only then did I reckon my curse
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright
First came Isaiah with his crinkled little fingers
Then came Charlotte and that wretched girl Dawn
Ugly Myfanwy died on delivery
Mercifully taking her mother along
Alright, alright, alright
What can one do when one is a widower
Shamefully saddled with three little pests
All that I wanted was the freedom of a new life
So my burden I began to divest
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright
Charlotte I buried after feeding her foxglove
Dawn was easy, she was drowned in the bath
Isaiah fought but was easily bested
Burned his body for incurring my wrath
Alright, alright, alright
And thats how I came your humble narrator
To be living so easy and free
I expect that you think that I should be haunted
But it never really bothers me
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright

song of (very) early saturday morning
(as it turns out, this song’s lyrics are having more of an effect on me than i am actually comfortable with…but it’s still really quite excellent.)
carolina liar, “show me what i’m looking for“
