silly itunes/poetry meme

I only jumped tracks when it got hung up on instrumentals, which it did on Natalie McMaster, Moby, and NIN, more than once.
I didn't do anything to the order except format it, and it oddly kind of follows.



At times, life is wicked.

My baby's got a heart of stone
It seems like every day's the same
Hands on a window pane

High above the mucky-muck
Everybody here in a small town looks used and abused
See the world it's going 'round
Well I ain't sure but I been told he's baking cakes inside our souls

I'm patient of this plan
In my hour of need
When sky blue gets dark enough

Stop, law has been broken - he who breaks the law shall be punished
The road is fucking hard

Hey lady, got the love I need?
Well I've been looking real hard and I'm tryin' to find a job
I choose to be his confidante
Check it out, going out on the late night

T'was wonderful, t'was marvelous, you should care for me
Never know how much I love you, never know how much I care
Black is a cast

She was in the backyard, say it was a little past nine....

Grave of the Fireflies

Yesterday, sitting on the couch, being sick, I got around to watching this movie I'd netflix'ed a little while back.

There are many movies that I've seen that I don not feel the need to ever see again. Pan's Labrinth. The Libertine.
Solid, good film making, but with stories that once consumed, leave a lingering, coppery taste.
I can add the anime "Grave of the Fireflies" to the mix.
Yes, it is a "cartoon". Anime, even, but with none of the fantasy that one usually associates with the genre.

It is the story of two children at the eve of WWII Japan, and the struggles they endure. It is a sad, haunting, and moving piece.

I would recommend it to adults, but this "cartoon" is NOT for children.
