I write under the influence of music. My favorite song to write to is "Sometimes" by My Bloody Valentine. It's hard to even understand what the words are. I looked them up.

Close my eyes
Feel me now
I don't know how you could not love me now
You will know, with her feet down to the ground
Over there, and I want true love to grow
You can't hide, oh no, from the way I feel

Turn my head
Into sound
I don't know when I lay down on the ground
You will find the (way it) hurts to love
Never cared, and the world turned hearts to love
We will see, oh now, in a day or two
You will wait
See me go
I don't care, where your head turned (I don't know)
You will wait, when I turn my eyes around
Overhead when I hold you next to me
Overhead, to know the way I see

Close my eyes
Feel me now
I don't know, maybe you could not hurt me now
Here alone, when I feel down too
Over there, when I await true love for you
You can hide, oh now, the way I do
You can see, oh now, oh the way I do

If you've never heard the song, it is playing in Lost In Translation when the female protagonist is staring out of the window into the neon light of Japan.

It's worth noting that My Bloody Valentine bankrupted a company making this album and never made another one. They also all got deaf from playing so loud.

It is a swirl to me. A swirl of fuzz and noise. It allows my words to spill from my head.
