i like 'em all...









grandiose photos von michael pezzei und nicholas venaglia. dazwischen ein paar zeilen, maschinegeschrieben, aus den namenlosen unweiten von tumblr gefischt von einer blinden hand...



musik von sun kil moon. nicht mehr ganz neu. nr. 1, die verlorene reflexion eines verlorenen sohnes. nr. 2, auch auf dem album der zweite song, musik von räuberischer schönheit. für die blauen stunden, durch die ihr da draußen euch hindurchquält. jemand ist in gedanken bei euch...



cassius clay was hated more than sonny liston
   some like k.k. downing more than glenn tipton
 some like jim nabors some bobby vinton
           i like 'em all

         i put my feet up
    on the coffee table
            i stay up late watching cable
      i like old movies with clark gable
         just like my dad does

             just like my dad did
               when he was home
         staying up late,
            staying up alone
          just like my dad did
                     when he was thinking
                oh, how fast the years fly

                              i know an old woman
                                     ran a donut shop
                      she worked late serving cops
                                                 then one morning
                            babe, her heart stopped
                                      place ain't the same no more

                                            place ain't the same no more
                                                         not without my friend, eleanor
                                                                       place ain't the same no more
                                         man, how things change

                        i buried my first victim
                  when I was nineteen
           went through her bedroom
                      and the pockets of her jeans
              and found her letters
                        that said so many things
                 that really hurt me bad

    i never breathed
             her name again
       but I like to dream
                    about what could have been
  i never heard her calls again
        but I like to dream





sun kil moon - glenn tipton (2003)

sun kil moon - carry me, ohio (2003)





...btw. wer sind die namen in der ersten strophe von 'glenn tipton'? boxer, größtenteils. kk downing und glenn tipton sind die gitarristen der metal-band judas priest. nabors und vinton sind amerikanische tv-entertainer der 60er jahre.
