Nighty Night
Dec. 23rd, 2004 01:12 amJust having a weegenerous dram before turning in - the last of the bottle of Glenmorangie I bought before leaving Cambridge. It's still nice to be up here, in spite of it all. It feels right. It's home.
I just got this album off Emusic, and if it sounds as good after Christmas I'll be off looking for a physical copy. I was a fan of Dream City Film Club (and eventually caught them a couple of times live before they broke up) and he hasn't lost his touch as a songwriter. It's a lot gentler musically, but hasn't softened lyrically at all:
Remember the night I first jumped your bones,
under the stars 'gainst the cold hardened stones
and you - no resistance at all
and I shot my load in the the time it takes a teardrop to fall
the first disappointment, though it wouldn't be the last
every other day they rolled in thick and fast.
(from "Teardrop time")
Excellent stuff. Well, if you happen to be me, or as easily impressed, anyway.
Right. The album's finished, and so's the whisky. See you all tomorrow.
