what we thought was the sunrise were just passing headlights.

I drove last night. Drove for miles, down endless highways, with no destination. I love doing that - nothing but the sound of the engine, the soft (or loud, depending on my mood) music playing, and the sight of lanes that will seemingly never end. The flat landscape has always comforted me, the night skies in the middle of nowhere are amazing. ( Read more... )

You make it sound so melancholic that I almost want to get a license. Usually, when I think about it in more concrete a manner, driving is really just sitting in an uncomfortable chair in a small cage with frail aluminum skin around while poisoning the air. I prefer seeing the World by foot or bus or whatever... maybe the guitar, and you can drink while playing guitar, you know, so that's probably the main reason why.

Well, people do say that melancholy is what I express best, so this isn't rare to me. I wish I had the ability to see things in such a blunt manner, I really, really do. It'd make life a lot easier to bear. And thank god for guitars and booze.

Melancholy is probably the most positive feeling... also very comforting. I just don't really like cars, so I get my melancholy from different channels and sources... perhaps more conservative ones. Like seashore before dawn and broken heart after midnight. And Jägermeister, because we have a sponsorship from them.

I listened to some of your music... basically whatever I could find on http://www.cursivearmy.com and http://www.epitonic.com. Personally, I think I really liked "Tell Shipwreck I'm Sorry" best - mainly because it's the most melodic and least disharmonic tune. But they're all interesting and there's beautiful passages in them. I tried to play some of your tunes, but I'm a shitty guitar player, unfortunately.

I find a sort of solace in my misery, it is comforting. You find comfort in the consistancy after a while, and it turns out to be the only real thing you've got to cling to. ..That and liquor.

*grins* I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I really doubt that you're a "shitty guitar player".

"Driving forever never lasts long enough" -- That seems to be the case with everything.
