I'll be the fox by the road, I am.

My best friend Audrey sent me this wonderful little surprise yesterday, exclaiming that I would love it. I did.
I just became aware that the lyrics is about a fox who gets hit by a car and then the fur is used to make a coat. I cried a little.

Everything Everything - Tin (The Manhole)

Of Moons, Birds and Monsters

What a truly amazing song. Although the album Oracular Spectacular has been out for quite a while now, this is one of the last songs that stuck with me. And as I so often find, music that grows on me stick for the longest of time.

Why'd you cut holes in the face of the moon base?
Don't you know about the temperature change
In the cold black shadow?
Are you mad at your walls
Or hoping that an unknown force can repair things for you?
Pardon all the time that you've thrown into your pale grey garden?
If the ship will never come you've got to move along

Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark
The prick of a feather could make a kingdom burn and the bloodshed start
The falling apart
Made me a shadow in the shape of wonder
The waves of black
If she's going under I can hold my breath till the sky comes back
Or drown like a rat, rat, rat
He's a rat!

To catch a monster
We make a movie
Set the tempo
And cut and cut its brains out
It will inspire on the burning pyre
Half the distance
Half the motion
Communication
It's easy as the ocean
