  • One of my favorite Neko Case songs. Photos by me.
    Here's the lyrics:
    I WISH I WAS THE MOON
    by Neko Case
    Chimney falls and lovers blaze
    Thought that I was young
    Now I've freezing hands and bloodless veins
    As numb as I've become
    I'm so tired
    I wish I was the moon tonight
    Last night I dreamt I had forgotten my name
    'Cause I had sold my soul but awoke just the same
    I'm so lonely
    I wish I was the moon tonight
    God blessed me, I'm a free man
    With no place free to go
    I'm paralyzed and collared-tight
    No pills for what I fear
    This is crazy
    I wish I was the moon tonight
    Chimney falls and lovers blaze
    Thought that I was young
    Now I've freezing hands & bloodless veins
    As numb as I've become
    I'm so tired,
    I wish I was the moon tonight
    How will you know if you found me at least
    'Cause I'll be the one, be the one, be the one
    With my heart in my lap
    I'm so tired, I'm so tired
    I wish I was the moon tonight

    I think it's more like being "tired" of finding in-genuine love. It takes too much out of her to go through the pain of it so often and it makes her feel empty. She wants to be the moon so she can be seen by the person that is looking for her, so they can recognize her, because they feel the same way.

    All this means is that I found out about some awesome pieces of music through band, and some of you did not. If some people happen to stumble across these scores later on, and they do appreciate that music, I would not feel smug that I knew it first. I would just be glad that someone else knows the beauty that I knew when I used to play in band. The point of loving and knowing music is to love music for the sake of enjoyment, not be condescending towards those who are still discovering what you

    I love True Blood, I also love this song. It works for True Blood, but also of a lot of poems I've read and how I feel a lot of times. I like both for codependent and independent reasons. So what? Come at me bro.
