i just...
i can't even describe how much this moved me.
the dialogue was so breathtakingly heartbreaking and the imagery, my god, the imagery was just flawless. it flowed and contrasted at the same time, if that makes any sense. it was like the world was mirroring back his thoughts and his mind but at the same time it was so steril and so not what he was. just perfect.
i love bright eyes. i love cursive. lately though, i have been losing my faith in the greatness that is bright eyes [i wasn't to impressed by cassadega]. but this was set years and years back [he was twenty right?] and in my mind i picture it around the time he wrote lifted. and it almost reaffirmed my love and admiration for his music, just because of how emotionally powerful the words were and how each and every line fit so beautifully with the piece as a whole.
and i don't normally get so worked up over stories, but this one dug pretty deep and i love it for that.
amazing amazing job.

I'm really, really glad you liked this. Especially if you're a Bright Eyes fan, or a big Cursive fan. This is set way back there, yeah, because I wasn't impressed with Cassadaga either, not until the seventh or eighth listen. His earlier stuff was beautiful and a little bit broken. One of my favourite songs by him is "A Perfect Sonnet".

Thank you so much.

i adore that song as well. he really is one of the best writers of our time, and i'm saying that from a critical standpoint not just a fan. "sunrise, sunset" is my personal favorite... or wait... no... "padriac my prince" is also amazing.
hahaha.
i think i need to go listen to my collection now.

OH Those are fucking kick ass too. "If Winter Ends..." might be my favourite. Fuck it, I don't have ONE favourite.

Go listen to The Good Life. Do you know them?
