what is that sound i'm hearing? kings of leon's mcfearless is a surprise. i remember once upon a time me and Da had an argument on whether they were rockabilly or not. i told her: don't let the hair throw you off. going by mcfearless, i think they are far far FAR away from rockabilly. imagine four shaggy blokes out of hicksville, kena teleported to some mega cosmopolitan never ever land and BAM! all's about searchin', wantin', yearnin', yes-i'm-all-alone-dear-god... sorry it's hormonial imbalance on my part. i'm in one of my sulky-for-no-reason funks. when one of my most treasured indie watering holes put this track up, i was like whatthefuck?! i thought they went to college and died out on stale hormones by now. grudgingly took a listen and i was puzzled. still am actually. i wonder if the whole album's like that.


Don't know what I'm doing wrong
Maybe I've been here too long
The songs on the radio sound the same
Everybody just looks the same
But then last night was so much fun
And now your sheets are dirty
The streets are dirty too but
You never look back over what you've done
Remember when you were young
You'd lose yourself
In the morning, you know you won't remember a thing
In the morning, you know it's gonna be alright
Wake him up, warm him up
Put him on the stage, well
The boy can't help it, it's not his fault
Just a dangerous dangerous age
But then every night's still so much fun
And you're still out there darling
Clinging on to the wrong ideas but
I never regret anything I've done

-In The Morning, Razorlight

there is just something melancholic about this song. i've been hearing it in my head for days now. which is interesting because i think it brought on my sulky-for-no-reason funk. another song i've been thinking about is To The End by Blur. ok i just feel like Virginia Woolf right now. not Virginia Woolf world's revered novelist. Virginia Woolf the manic depressive, Virginia Woolf who tried to drown herself forgodknowswhat reason. damn.
