Note for next year-- masks look cool shoved up on your head.
Hey people, Welcome to Fav Lyrics Friday.
This is cloud cult and they are many levels of awesomeness. First of all they're from the Twin Cities. They are all about being green. You can check that out on their website. They include visual artists in their performances which may be trying to do a little too much but is none-the-less cool, and the lead singer, who runs an organic farm, says they're calling it quits next year to "focus on family". His wife is in the band too.
As always I've posted the lyrics below. Very poetic and imaginative. I love "my eyes they are bulletholes". What a powerful image.
As always support artists you enjoy by buying their music-- from them if you can.
Have a great Friday!
Journey Of The Featherless
By Cloud Cult
got myself a mission
i'm going to find heaven
i made crepe paper wings
i think they'll carry me well
i left you a love poem
the best i have written
my favorite words
were the ones i couldn't spell
they say i'm a lunatic
they say i'm a fool of it
i say that it's worth dreaming
just for the dream of it
it's all about passion
it's all about perception
don't call me on my cell phone
cause there ain't no reception
when i'm gone
when i'm gone
i think i'm growing feathers
but i'm not sure of it
because i started getting dizzy
about a hundred feet up
i made friends with the clouds
i made friends with the birds
if you as a goose a question
he never shuts up
honestly i miss you
and i hope that you're missing me
cause i could use your lips on me
and a little of drammamine
for the moment i could see
way better than i've ever seen
don't sell my stuff on ebay
because i might be back
before i'm gone
before i'm gone
i'm not the kind of man
who's into looking downwards
i've drank my share of pity
from the bartenders cup
there's so many people
wondering whats the right direction
as far as i'm concerned
there's only one way up
and my fingers they are blisters
and my eyes they are bullet holes
my heart is still beating
guess i'm pretty lucky
pretty lucky
pretty lucky
pretty lucky
(when i'm gone)
pretty lucky
(when i'm gone)
pretty lucky
(when i'm gone)
pretty lucky
(when i'm gone)
pretty lucky

Glad you're enjoying the madness.

Those steel trees you made. GAWD I'd love to have some of them over here. They are beautiful. I was telling my husband all about them. :)
jkb-- awe shucks some more! You could have them over there for the mere eleventy million dollars it would probably cost to ship them over (although they are pretty light--- it may only cost nine or ten mil...)
