I finally have begun to actually write my position paper!!! Just one slight problem... I can't find a place to fit in my thesis!!!!!!!! That's probably a bad sign.

Sam sent me the Arcade Fire's album "Funeral" last night. I love it so far. I need to listen to it more closely though.

Along those same lines...

"No Cars Go," by the Arcade Fire, from the album Neon Bible.

We know a place where no planes go
We know a place where no ships go
Hey!
No cars go
Hey!
No cars go
Where we know

We know a place where no spaceships go
We know a place where no subs go
Hey!
No cars go
Hey!
No cars go
Where we know
Hey!
Us kids know
Hey!
No cars go

Go!
No go!

Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream

Little babies?
Let's go!

Women and children?
Let's go!

Old folks?
Let's go!

Don't know where we're going

In order for lyrics to work, the music must be excellent. And it is. The way it builds up is just... !!!!! I'm actually listening to an older version of it that my brother sent me last night, and I kind of like it better than the one on Neon Bible. As Sam said, it's more sparse and less produced.

Either way, look at those lyrics. They're simple. They're SO simple. Alone, you're kinda like... wtf? But then, when you hear it, with the melody, and the drums, and the OHHHHHHH it's so good.

This is the type of music that I WISH I could write.

I should work on my Spanish project tonight, as well as my Sociology presentation for FRIDAY.

Oh god I'm so stressed. Music makes it better.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, I don't have any finals on Thursday, so school gets out a day early for me. Hell fuckin yeah.
