GOS - End Of The Road (Acoustic Demo)

[rsadasiv]

 

or not

 

The ring of success

Remains highly elusive

You find happiness

In the daily quotidian

Forget all the diamonds

Mine for obsidian

The resort of your life

Is not that exclusive

 

Tierra del Fuego

Is the ends of the earth

Where the mountains collapse

Into archipelago

Our guide is Chilean

The storm Argentinian

And none of us know

What any of this is worth

 

So pour me another

And make it a double

Pour me one more

For the end of the road

 

So we took the acid

And yes it was brown

Just like the music

In the quickening mud

Just like the swan dive

And the sickening thud

And the car's in the ditch

Shall we hitch

Back to town?

 

So pour me another

And make it a double

Pour me one more

For the end of the road

Marvelous. I question "the daily quotidian" as being so clearly redundant, yet I like the rhythm of it.

[nat whilk II]

I bet only 10% of the population knows what "quotidian" means, so the redundancy is sort of like a sign that messages in two languages. And any song that can rhyme "quotidian" and "obsidian" has paid it's way as far as I'm concerned

Yeah, it's more about juxtaposing the tone than it is about anything in particular.

 

How's the new house/new addition coming along? Painting the bedroom pink or blue? Do all that stuff now, because you wind up living with it for far longer than you might think.

[Chicken Monkey]

It's a boy, but we're not painting anything.  We maintain a couple of rental properties, and do a lot of the work ourselves, so we're not painting a thing unless it's covered with crayon or cat spray.  My music stuff has been inhabiting the second bedroom since we moved in, and the band is set up recording our second album in there, so when that's done, I'll pack away all my gear and move in the crib and such.
