I love the portrait with the sun on your face, eyes shielded, hatted up, and a serious earring in your ear.
Something Irving Laytonish about you here, though I can't quite identify what it is.

As I said on your link, your song was hard.

was that your kitty tip tapping at the end?

Sometimes G. music hits just the right spot. Today - a sunny clear day, I traipsed through the march with the ashes of my most loved uncle. It was a long day but this song and your 'don't ever take yourself away' feels like a good way to end it (the day).

The earrings are a bit of a surprise to me - did you intentionally put holes in your body?
now I'm wondering about hidden tattoo's

[lizzytysh]

Are those two, full, double loops... or two 'loops' that round into being together at the bottom and circle back the other direction?

yes, i seem now to have exorcised it, though. couldn't bear to hear it, because of the associations, but now it's ok. it was very nice of you to comment, lizzie. i don't always remember to say so, but i am always glad to see your signature at the end of a message x

yes, it was suki walking past at the end, even though she is not seen. i regret to hear about your uncle, cate. you write so little about the "long day", but i do know what they can be like. about that song 'don't ever take yourself away': i can't understand why nobody else has ever covered it. the earrings do not require holes punched into one's lobes. they are solid silver, but there is a sliding part with a spring inside that gently pushes a small bolt against the skin. I used to use them a long time ago when studying at lillehammer humanistisk akademi. recently found them in a drawer when looking for a rubber band to put around some pick-up sticks. i will take a picture of them and try to show you. lizzie, too, was enquiring about them. by the way, i am enjoying following your 'message in a bottle' thread! x

Really liked this...glad you posted it.

Wouldn't mind a bit of that sunshine you're having there. it's not very nice here at the moment. We seem to be having the wettest drought in history!!!

I can't understand why nobody else has covered it either. There is a different sound to it the way that you sing it, slowed down so that you actually feel the words.

The earrings have an industrial look to them. I like the spring - that's a good idea. Earrings that I had before either screwed tight or were more a hinge that clipped on.

it's cool because it looks like such a nice warm day and in the background you see that beautiful snow covered mountain.

[lizzytysh]

and they look ancient to me... like some Greek or Roman body decoration.
i like them very much... a 'statement piece.'
cate's right... you seem to get so much out of a song when you slow them down with focus.

I have never heard this song. It is beautiful, Geoffrey.
Sensitive.
Thanks.
