I've got the new Over the Rhine CD in my hands. According to the liner notes, Karin and Linford pulled out of the tour for Ohio because they realized that "putting a long-term relationship on autopilot indefinitely can be dangerous."
After seeing in person the way that they interact, seeing the real emotions pour out of them - from their fingertips, from their faces, from their mouths - after seeing that, and now reading this, that they had problems.
It only makes the music on the new CD more beautiful. They recorded in their own living room. Musically, I'm not sure these are their best songs. But the songs are tender and heartfelt and real. Karin's voice has never sounded so sincere.
I Want You To Be My Love (on yousendit.com)
I want you to be my love
I want you to be my love
'Neath the moon and the stars above
I want you to be my love
I want you to know me now
I want you to know me now
Break a promise make a vow
I know you want me now
Like I want you
I want you to be my love
I want you to be my love
'Neath the moon and the stars above
I want you to be my love
'Cause I want you
I know all you--
All you've been through
I think real love is like clairvoyance. With love comes a vision of the future. A clear shot of what you want, what you can have, what matters. Anything that isn't what you want, isn't what you can have, doesn't matter falls away.
Like, Thursday night. Or was it Wednesday? My mind has lost track already. Midnight came around. Midnight is a weird time for me. I experience a pretty regular dip in my mood for about half an hour around then most nights. It doesn't matter what mood I've been in beforehand. At midnight, I get a little sad.
It was Wednesday. Kristin was tired, falling asleep. It was midnight. And I was sad.
Normally, I'd have gotten on the computer, written a long journal entry, listened to quiet music - I'd have made it worse. I've have made myself a little bit lonely. I wanted to do all of that on Wednesday, I was this close to getting out of bed and doing it.
What stopped me was that I didn't want to move away from Kristin. I stayed close to her. There really isn't any other way for two people to stay on a twin bed, but that's beside the point. I let myself relax into being safe, into being with the girl I love. And I fell asleep.
No sadness, no loneliness. Just some well-needed rest and a warm body to feel through the night.
current mood: lovely
current music: Firefly -- Over the Rhine (comment on this)
