On hiatus/dead :(
Stop! Before you play any of the music on this page, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Think about the ocean at night, a cloudy sky, an empty beach. Filter out all the noises around you and feel the breeze.
Now think of something you regret and sigh.
Okay, now you can hit play and close your eyes.
As I write this post, I'm sitting on on the second floor of a late night train into the city. There's a man in the aisle below doing simple exercises and stretches using the seat backs and handles for support. At the same time he's reviewing papers from folders he's splayed out on two of the seats. Watching unseen from above as I am, I can't help but make up a back story.
A single lawyer in a rough period, he's taken membership at a gym ninety minutes from home, finding the ambient noise of an emptying train good for following lines of reasoning to their conclusions. He doesn't mind that the clipboards of documents sharing a bag with his gym shorts contaminates them both with their inks and odors, but sometimes he wishes he could take a suitcase on the train instead and leave the shorts to ride home without him.
Instead he'll get off three stops before downtown, grab a case at the liquor store on the corner, and think about how many business hours there are until Friday. Inspiration will hit at 9:47pm and he'll be asleep by midnight.
What do people think when they see you on a train?
Probably about where they can get this song. It's on Amazon and iTunes. More info on Last.fm.
