TOD: February

came home pooped out, + then this song came on, "February" by Dar Williams, + i started to dissolve. felt so *grateful* that music exists at all + soothes me the way it does.

February (excerpt)

I threw your keys in the water, I looked back, They'd frozen halfway down in the ice. They froze up so quickly, the keys and their owners, Even after the anger, it all turned silent, and The everyday turned solitary, So we came to February. First we forgot where we'd planted those bulbs last year, Then we forgot that we'd planted at all, Then we forgot what plants are altogether, And I blamed you for my freezing and forgetting and The nights were long and cold and scary, Can we live through February?

btw, i'm fascinated by the millions of ppl who take the time to put images to their fave songs + share them on youtube. this must eat up a chunk of time + they don't get paid in $$, but still they feel compelled to do it. surely there's hope for the world as long as there are ppl like these.
