I only think in music these days

This is inspired by eponine119's last post, which I won't link to but it had that "feel" to me...the same one that a lot of us who've been around the same people for a long time have voiced...where did WE go? Remember US? Remember the fun we used to have? Now we have empty mailboxes. We can't write, which used to be our lifeblood. It's melancholy.

I was listening to this Blue October song yesterday and it all seemed to relate. So I switched up the lyrics a little bit, and you can substitute "fic" for "song" if you *must* be literal. :p Maybe it'll make you feel not so alone.



What ever happened to our inner glow?
What ever happened to the song, the soul, the we, we used to know?
What ever happened to the radio?
What ever happened to my song?
It is my song.

So stride... if you fail, at least you tried
To keep your aching, celebrating
Wonder making heart alive
And pride... Don't keep it all inside
Don't keep your aching, celebrating
Wonder making heart alone
Write your own song.

What ever happened to our inner glow?
What ever happened to the song, the soul, the we, we used to know?
What ever happened to the radio?
What ever happened to the song?
It was our song.

aww look at your pretty icon *pets*

Where did we go? It's kind of depressing.

[alliecat8.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is a very pretty icon. I wonder who made that pretty icon? ;D

Some of it's depressing, but I put it out there because of the middle verse, which says to me, "Don't give up." The magic can still happen, maybe even if you're alone. (Tho you know you've still got me! Cheers, baby.)

The words are longing but very inspiring... and now you do know what I'm going to ask, don't you? ;-)

Yeah, and here it is, but don't expect it to sound like you think it will - and not just because it's written by frustrated songwriters instead of frustrated fic writers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGkvvaKpkAM

As for the Avett Bros. link, I'm glad you loved the studio version. I sent you the one I did because it was recorded at a small venue right down the road from where I live -- and one of those annoying squealing girls was mine! :/

p.s. Every time you use that icon I wanna get drunk with Desmond and Jimmy Buffett. Thanks for that. ;)

Thanks! You're right; not quite what I expected, but interesting!

WOOHOO to the screaming fans! ;-) Hee!

PS: We'll definitely do that in Hawaii, huh? ;-)
