It’s kind of easy to guess who’s song I’ve picked this week. I had trouble deciding exactly which song to pick. I’m listening to Butterfly Effect’s album Imago. And I’m remembering which of these songs I heard live - and some of them grab me just as much as they did hearing them live. I really wish I had remembered to take a disposable camera, if just to have a few photos to remember the bands by. So, I’m tossing up between ‘The Aisles of White’, ‘Gone’ and ‘Reach’. ‘A Slow Descent’ is also good, but not *as* good, and I think ‘Reach’ is the one that I can most vividly recall. You know how some songs have chords that just sort of hook you in? It’s like that. There’s something about Clint’s voice, it’s haunting but soothing and kind of tortured. I think ‘Reach’ is more how I feel right now, but we’ll see.

Last night I dreamt I held you with me
Close enough to feel you breathe
When I awoke I lay here empty
Caught between the want and need Now in the darkness I am only
Thoughtful hopes and pieces mind
These dreams are all I’ve ever wanted
Found behind the closing eyes

How long we’ve been trying to reach you
We all fall down like this sometimes
Trying to reach you
I’m trying

Last night I dreamt I held you with me
Closer still to see you leave
When I awoke the fear of lonely
Gripped my heart in concious sleep

Now in the darkness I lay empty
Hollow beaten like a drum
Still water cages I am hoping
In these dreams to me you’ll come

These fields alive with fire and ashes
Inside these fields we’ll find oceans of ashes
When all your dreams have died
I don’t want to die

Just keep holding my hand because I’m trying to reach you
I’m never letting you go
Because I’m dying to keep you

I’m trying

I’m walking through your fields
Of broken flowers
They fall upon my face
Like tears for hours
If all we are we are
If all we are we are
To wake and call your name in the tiny hours
We all fall down
The Butterfly Effect - Reach

I’ll have to get photos off Travis to put up here. Hopefully in the next couple of days I’ll be able to do that. Still have to put up graduation photos as well.
