Jippi, valentines day! (æ får mæ ikke til å si valentinsdagen, uten at æ helt vet koffor.) I anledning dagen har æ funnet fram ett dikt (sukk mitt hjerte) og ni sanga (dobbelsukk mitt hjerte), i tillegg til at æ bakte muffins i går, med dem e litt vanskelig å overrekke via dataskjerma, så. Hadde du vært her skulle du fått en. I kveld skal æ se Chicago, fram til da skal æ bare gjøre mitt ytterste for å holde mæ våken. (trippelsukk.)

since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don’t cry
–the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids» flutter which says

we are for each other:then
laugh,leaning back in my arms
for life’s not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis

[E. E. Cummings]

Real Long Distance
Josh Ritter
Telephone ringing mama please don’t you leave it alone/Don’t leave no breaks in the line it’s the only thing that’s tied to home/It’s a drag and a sigh and that’s not all/This is real long distance it’s a real long distance call

Cory Branan
My love ain’t no delicate snowflake/My love is a bull with the china shop blues and/My love’s holdin back like an earthquake/It’s overdue

Extraordinary
Liz Phair
You think that I go home at night/Take off my clothes, turn out the lights/But I burn letters that I write/To you, to make you love me

Bang!
Yeah Yeah Yeahs¹
My skin tonight is a blazing/but I don’t think you’re my type/what I need tonight’s the real thing/I need the real thing tonight

Sly
The Cat Empire
I must confess god bless/some impure thoughts[…]/it’s a pleasure to meet you/you look like one incredible creature/wanna treat you fine/let’s dance and grind/get so funk-inflicted it’s a crime/you’re divine you’re sublime/and well you blow my mind

Tailspin
The Nields
I don’t want to think about what I don’t have/I want to worry ’bout what I’ve got/But you pull me in/Make me feel brand new again/Make me turn around when I walk away/This is not me/This is not how I play

O.K.
Ani DiFranco
if you ask me/I’ll say/yes please/to you today/so don’t ask me/’cause I’m weak that way/just don’t ask me/o.k.

Blind Side
Melissa Ferrick
Your smile yeah it’s stuck in my eyes/and your mouth makes me forget what I’m saying/and your lips make me wonder if you’re taken/tell me are you taken?

¹æ vet at den ikke passe helt inn i «sukk, verden e så fin og æ e så forelska»-temaet, men.. Det kunne vært verre, æ holdt på å putte inn Bright Eyes sin «Lover I Don’t Have To Love». Så, du vet, fram og tilbake
²Øh. Om du ikke har hørt om Cobra Starship, så. Vel. Guilty Pleasure e nok mer representativt for det dem gjør, men det hele e ganske fint, om enn ikke så vakkert.
