Atoms for Peace

Today's favorite song is brought to you by the letter "F."

(Don't wait for that to make sense. It won't.)

I've been listening to Thom Yorke's album, "The Eraser" all week. This is one of those albums I was sitting around, waiting for impatiently (the way I do all my waiting: arms crossed, tapping my foot), and then when it finally came out, I waited a LONG time before actually buying it.

And then when I did buy it, I got is used at Fingerprints. And then when I did buy it, I didn't dive right in - don't ask me why.

Anyway, so finally this week I'm really paying attention to ol' Thom's work on his album "The Eraser," and I have a new favorite song (see title of today's post).

I cannot think of a better song for me to be in love with right now: it's just perfect in every way. It's beautiful. It reminds me of Bjork's "Hyperballad" from her album "Post," maybe only because that was another song I was in love with forever, but whatever, I see the similarities: you don't have to see them! And it also reminds me of "Rich's Tearjerker," by Pat's band, Magnolia Thunderpussy - and I've been listening to it, nonstop, since Tuesday. Quite loud, I might add.

Anyway, here are the lyrics. Thom Yorke is kind of a genius, isn't he - I think he may be talking just to me right here. What do you think? No? Well.

Atoms for Peace

No more going to the dark side with your flying saucer eyes
No more falling down a wormhole that I have to pull you out

The wriggling, squiggling worm inside
Devours from the inside

No more talk about the old days
It's time for something great

I want you to get out
And make it work

So many lies
So many lies
So many lies
So feel the love come off of them
And take me in your arms

Peel all of your layers off
I want to eat your artichoke heart

No more leaky holes in your brain
And no false starts

I wanna get out
And make it work

So many lies
So many lies
So many lies
So feel the love come off of them
And take me in your arms

I wanna get out
And make it work

I want you to get out
And make it work

I'll be ok

So many lies
So many lies
So many lies
So feel the love come off of them
And take me in your arms
