the four right chords can make me cry

music day.

john lennon at 65? unthinkable for me. people that massive are meant to go down in flames. i still think the beatles were the best band in all history.

i bought two new CDs. Tracy Chapman and Sheryl Crow. Halfway through Chapman now. Stirring stuff, music with a soul and conscience, not just fluff and jingles.

This song reminds me of blogging.

Telling stories : Tracy Chapman

There is fiction in the space between
The lines on your page of memories
Write it down but it doesn't mean
You're not just telling stories
There is fiction in the space between
You and me

There is fiction in the space between
You and reality
You will do and say anything
To make your everyday life
Seem less mundane
There is fiction in the space between
You and me

There's a science fiction in the space between
You and me
A fabrication of a grand scheme
Where i am the scary monster
I eat the city and as i leave the scene
In my spaceship i am laughing
In your remembrance of your bad dream
There's no one but you standing

Leave the pity and the blame
For the ones who do not speak
You write the words to get respect and compassion
And for posterity
You write the words and make believe
There is truth in the space between

There is fiction in the space between
You and everybody
Give us all what we need
Give us one more sad sordid story
But in the fiction of the space between
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
