babyatom's BIG BLOG was somewhere for me to air some thoughts and tell you about what I'd been up to between March 2003 and January 2006. I'm now here

Rose tinted ears

The past was much better wasn't it: fewer cars, cheaper sweets, better cartoons, narrower waists, longer sleeps... Music was better then too, it seemed to mean more: mental acid house, crrrazy Madchester, soppy shoegazing, twiddly ambient... Nestled in amongst all this stuff that's aged rather badly were some real gems. And here are some lyrics from one of these little gems that 'came in my ears' this morning:

"Catch me in another dream, I'm pulled away,
Hold me, gently take me through another day.

However hard I try, I crawl when I should fly.
I wander through my days, pulled a million ways."

I love that tune - it reminds me of being a pretentious loner at uni, wearing scruffy clothes, reading clever books and dancing to music like this whilst swinging my arms lazily by my side.
Modern music can't compete - it doesn't have those memories attached to it.

		Don't know who it is, but I dig the lyrics :-) On second thoughts, I reckon it's The Cure. .....posted by PA at 2:45 am, July 28, 2005 Nope. I'll give you another clue: you listened to it on your CD Walkman all the way down to Bordeaux. .....posted by babyatom at 9:55 am, July 28, 2005 Is it Ride? Carnival of Light? We listened to a lot of Stone Roses, but it's not them... .....posted by PA at 11:55 am, July 28, 2005 That's the album - well remembered! The song's 'Paralysed'. .....posted by babyatom at 12:16 pm, July 28, 2005 Ah, kind of got to singing that line but hesitated to write it down. Damn! Cracking song, though :-) .....posted by PA at 1:17 pm, July 28, 2005
