soul all stuck to my face

Wes Carr is a musician who recently won Australian Idol but he's been sitting on bar stools for ten years and writes a lot of his own songs, and he has put an album on iTunes and I downloaded some of the songs, I'll get to the others later. I really like his original songs but there's this one song that I'd call my favourite, 'Soul All Stuck To My Face". I just like the notion. This is the chorus:

No I can’t get up,
No I couldn't get up.
And I’m lying here,
Too drunk to face the day.
And I’m stuck in your desperate doorway,
With my soul all stuck to my face.


So to me, it's about a person that you are completely open with, a person that you can talk to when you're down, when you're in despair. So for many people that's their husband or wife, boyfriend of girlfriend, or maybe it's just a really close friend.

Anyway, this is kind of leading to me. There's this guy I know. I don't know him that well though, I've only met him a few times. But it's strange; I would tell him almost anything. I have told him things that I've only told 1 or 2 other people, and they're close friends. Yet, I felt more comfortable telling him than them. Strange. I don't know if it's just because I feel like he's had the same kind of experience as me or what. Is it just because he's one of those people that you feel won't ever repeat what you say to anyone else? Maybe it's just I feel he'll understand. I don't know. I guess we both kind of have similar interests too which no doubt helps. And he seems the intelligent and thoughtful type. Maybe I feel like I could tell him almost anything because I don't him that well. I won't see him tomorrow. hmm...no I don't think it's that, but it might contribute at the moment.

I like the idea of having my soul all stuck to my face though. I mean, obviously not all the time, but sometimes, I'm sure it'd be a healthy thing, but I'm yet to experience the full extent of it. I think if I got to know this guy better, especially so it wasn't weird for me to tell him such personal things, then I'd possibly end up with my soul all stuck to my face when I talked to him. I just hope I at least get the chance to become good friends with him.

the first blog

In honour of my first *official* blog I've decided to post the lyrics of the song that the blog name comes from.

Adding To The Noise

What's it gonna take
To slow us down
To let the silence spin us around?
What's it gonna take
To drop this town?
We've been spinning at the speed of sound

Stepping out of those convenience stores
What could we want but more more more
From the third world
To the corporate core
We are the symphony of modern humanity

If we're adding to the noise
Turn of this song
If we're adding to the noise
Turn off your stereo, radio, video...

I don't know
What they're gonna think of next
Genetic engineers of the most high tech
A couple new ways
To fall into debt

I'm a nervous wreck but I’ll bet that that TV set
Tells us what we've wanted to hear
But none of these sound bites are coming in clear
From the third world to the corporate ear
We are the symphony of modern humanity

If we're adding to the noise
Turn of this song
If we're adding to the noise
Turn off your stereo, radio, video...

Our modern world is full of noise, but sometimes some quiet does us good. As Jon would say, sometimes the blank CD is the best one to listen to.

This blog is going to be my random musings, niggling thoughts and honest questioning. Mostly for my own benefit, but if someone happens to read it, hopefully it might occasionally make you think.
