Revealing Too Much

- Music is so much fun, especially when you find some that you just can't get enough of. I've been on an indie kick recently and have really been getting into bands like Broken Social Scene, the Dreamer and the Sleeper, and the Ums. You most likely haven't ever heard of any of them and if not thats ok, neither had I. The ironic things about indie is it can't have any landmark bands or they lose their "indie cred." Seems to me like thats a recipie for a failed music genre but it seems to be getting really big recently regardless. But paradox aside another somewhat indie band that probably is losing a bit of its cred as they seem to be relatively big, the Honorary Title has been tickling my fancy. Especially this song: Revealing Too Much. Listen to it. Its really good.

The Honorary Title - Revealing Too Much
-

Accentuated by the mobile dungeon of fluorescence

As I fall out of love, this wasn't supposed to happen

Not according to you

-

Please don't allow your voice to fade

Don't fall so weak to fault or blame

To give yourself reason for an end

-

We'd have our own subway car in the middle of the night

I'd work the same job and play the same bars on every weekend

As the graffiti scrolls by

-

Please don't allow your voice to fade

Don't fall so weak to fault or blame

To give yourself reason for an end

-

And at the end of your low you pin my shoulders against the mattress

Arching your frame with your stomach pushed outward

Your head titling back with your mouth partially open

The sounds slur and elevate slowly in volume

When you wake up with your family gathered around

Remember that our love was true

And I will not allow you to destroy yourself

-

I hope that I'm not revealing too much

- Sorry, I realize this isn't a music blog so I'll get on with it. Music has just been such a big part of my life over the last couple years and when a song like this touches me just right that it shoots into my top 50 itunes play list in a couple days I need to share. I can't even really explain what it means to me because its not going to translate to you. Thats one of the most beautiful things about music is how its customizable to each and everyone of us.

- And oh the many things simply the phrase revealing too much means to me. I feel that the last semester has been nothing but revealing too much in the wrong places and too little where it needs to be revealed. I know I'm probably going about it all wrong but what can I do? Everyone has their own piece of advice and at the same time an equally compelling reason why I shouldn't listen to them. I just hope I don't mess things up cause the potential for that is really there. I like my life as it is now, things are going smoothly and I'm as happy as I've been in years. I guess thats why taking a risk is a little more difficult these days. If nothing else, revealing too much could probably be the punchline for this blog.

- Camp is well timed. Not too far away and yet not too close. I know I'll be ready to go when the time comes. It'll be nice to head away for awhile, live a different life and experience new things for a bit and then come back to Colorado with a fresh start and a plate of opportunities.
