It's a Blue Moon, and when it wheels high into the night I can finally say it's over...
for another year.
So on a blogger site I regularly follow [Called JapanAmerica] the author left a New Year's greeting that's called This Year, by Louden Wainright III... and I liked it, but as I listened I couldn't get rid of the echo of another song playing in my head. I guess I wont be ready to be optimistic an stuff till the dregs of this year are officially over my local time. I went looking for the song in my head on youtube, because I don't have this actual album. And I saw him comment that he had written this when he was 16. I thought that some things are just under your skin, and you don't change them much over your life. Being older and knowing more doesn't alter some things. Some corners are never illuminated.
Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days--
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
For you
And all the times I had the chance to
And I had a lover
It's so hard to risk another these days
These days--
Now if I seem to be afraid
To live the life I have made in song
Well it's just that I've been losing for so long
I'll keep on moving
Things are bound to be improving these days
One of these days--
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them
These Days - Jackson Browne
I suppose as Yue begins her slow ascent up the sky, I will find a reason to belay my discontent, and as she sets in the west I will turn my face forward again. As I do every day. As I do every year... while I am upright and walking.
