[6] I don't generally sit to write like this, but I'm on a tear. I did a huge cathartic bunch of writing today. The medicinal kind. If it doesn't fix anything else, just the putting it out will fix my heart and answer my questions.
I must be fine now, because I'm watching darkwave videos and my skin feels slightly carbonated. Sisters of Mercy reminds me of the best time I ever had in my life, being ignored. I think about that time a lot, because this time of year is when it hit it's inevitable and violent turn.
I looked through all the bands in my iTunes. Studied each band thinking if that was the direction I wanted to take tonight. I wanted Steve Earle, I have to take a break from that album. I keep hovering over it, and deciding against it. I'm obsessing some. I hope it doesn't become some tragic soundtrack in my life like Sisters. So, I went Peter Murphy. His sound is so acidic and acerbic it'll shatter anything clean, sterile even. Peter Murphy leads to Bauhaus leads to Sisters of Mercy. Why am I so maudlin all of a sudden?
I haven't done this since Saturday. Sunday I couldn't even. I would have thrown myself into the bay. Monday I was too busy freaking out for Tuesday, the elections. Tuesday, the elections, and I was passed out by 10:30 on the couch. So, tonight. I'm glad of it tonight. After earlier, my heart is light.
Hearing his voice is like being wrapped in a rich warm blanket, the oldest, most comfortable, favorite. It's got the power to blast my mind blank. We're so awkward with the talking. We were awkward at everything, once upon a time. We get over it.
Is my head empty yet? It should be after earlier. Just sloshing the last bits out.
I'm listening to Transcendental Blues, now. I couldn't stay away. It fills my heart. It's not all wonderful. I've read the lyrics to "Everyone's in Love With You" That's a little much. Then there's "I Don't Want To Lose You Yet" which is the most perfect capture, the most hopeful, and the one I love the most.
I'm having fun here, listening and analyzing the lyrics, but I think I'm going to go immerse myself in the Scottish Highlands of 1743. I love this book, Outlander. Lots of lush setting and purple prose. Breathless sexuality. Darkwave moody mood passed.
