I enjoy symmetry and palindromes and bad tautologies.

I haven't properly written anything in here for a while. I feel a bit like Esther Greenwood, I am trapped under a Bell Jar, unable to read or write or sleep or eat. My mind is overactive. I type this at 3:21 am.
But I was thinking about what it is that makes us like or dislike music. So I have music I like listening to at home, and a totally different type that I enjoy when I am out. Likewise I have different soundtracks for when I am London, Wiltshire or France. This is why I can't comprehend how people only listen to one style of music when you have a thousand different thoughts and feelings and moods.
What makes me appreciate music even more is lyrics. I don't know if it's because of my penchant for literature or the fact that I am a reluctant romantic. Only in the way that I wish love was like it is in films and all will live or die happily ever after- even with a pig nose. But beautiful lyrics make beautiful music, it goes with the territory, music is a form of expression like poetry with instruments.
While I am slightly hesitant to admit it I rather like the dreary sounds of Death Cab For Cutie. I love them entirely for their alluring, beautiful lyrics and I even love the fact that over the 11 or so years they have been around they haven't changed. Here are some of my favourites:

- Love of mine some day you will die, But I'll be close behind,I'll follow you into the dark..If there's no one beside you, When your soul embarks, Then I'll follow you into the dark - I Will Follow You Into The Dark.

- You may feel alone when you're falling asleep, And every time tears roll down your cheeks, But I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet, Someday you will be loved- Someday You Will Be Loved.

- And all you see is where else you could be, When you're at home, And out on the street, Are so many possibilities to not be alone- Your Heart Is An Empty Room.

These are only a few. These are the lyrics I used to wish I could write when I was younger desperately trying to find some artistic use with all these words and ideas spinning around in my head.
