I'll make you happy baby, just wait and see

Oh the 60's, what a period to live in! A period of changing perspectives, emerging libertine attitudes and irresponsible excess *laugh* and where anything could happen, where anything was possible. I'd like to still believe that, that nothing is impossible. Confidence, and hope, that's all you need.

The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'll never let you go
So won't you say you love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make them turn their heads every place we go

So won't you please
Be my little baby
Say you'll be my darling
Be my baby now

I'll make you happy baby, just wait and see
For every kiss you give me, I'll give you three
Oh, since the day I saw you, I have been waiting for you
You know I will adore you till eternity

Do it faster, makes us stronger

Well working sure is one way of keeping you very occupied. It's only been almost a month at my new job and I can hardly keep up, but it's great! I like having my time consumed in this way. It takes your mind off thinking too much. Working harder, makes it better. Yes!

Everything's happening at crazy speeds though, I'm not sure what's happening sometimes; where I'm going or where it's all leading to. And it's good that I'm either too busy or too tired to think or ask questions. I just assume the answers are what I want, and that keeps me happy enough.

I love this song! Haven't listened to it in a while now, but I heard snippets of it on the radio recently, someone's using it as a sample I think, and I remembered what a great song it is. I'm just so fascinated by the synthesized voices and sounds. And the seamless integration of the two sets of verses. Or if you prefer, the separation of a single verse. Either way, the ease with which they join and separate, moving in and out, makes listening to them such a pleasurable experience.

Work it
Make it
Do it
Makes us

Harder

Faster
Stronger

More than
Hour
Our
Never

Work is
Over

Work it harder
Make it better
Do it faster
Makes us stronger

More than ever
Hour after
Our work is never over

They cheer me to the gallows

I dreamt of being a murderer before. It's strange to think of oneself actually being capable of pre-mediated murder, of taking the life of someone, someone you've tried to be nonchalant about as much as you can. But dreams take on a life of their own sometimes, especially if you been listening to a song about a murderer, to sleep.

I'm very attracted to this Team Sleep song though; It draws you in, like a story, building the atmosphere with skips in the song and cheers in the background. In a way, it reminds me a lot of the book Perfume that I read not too long ago, also about a murderer, which such intense descriptions of scents that left me practically breathless with fascination.

In 1969
I killed a man of mine
In a small Montana town
I was hunted down by hounds

Hear the night has cried
Their voices dry and hollow
Hear the crowd cheer
They cheer me to the gallows

In 1985
I was doing time alive
I made a plan to escape
And live as the lady of the lake

Hear the crowd of ghosts
Their voices dry and hollow
Can't you hear their calls?
They cheer me to the gallows

1995
Was the year I came up for trial
I listened to his song
And watched the sun make the shadows long

Hear the night have cried
His voices is dry and hollow
Hear the crowd call
They cheer me to the gallows
Hear the night have called
His voice is dry and hollow
Hear the night have called
In a voice that's hollow

Let's get tired at the same time tonight

I've been having so much fun!! *grin* lunchtime concert, random treat from a once stranger cum friend of a friend, having beer and chips with my future bosses while signing my contract, catching Astreal at MOS and winning unexpected prizes, buying 3 new cds at $13 (although I am sad the place is closing down), my inaugural appearance on a "nation-wide circulated fashion spread" (as jeremy puts it), drinks and dinner with vina and the girls, night time wanderings at the museum and a free, free-spirited concert in the middle of Raffles Place! *laugh* of course there were the minor upsets and inconveniences, but the good thing about having such a miserable time just a short while before this amazing strings of events is that you become numb and they don't hurt so much anymore!!

Anyway one of the cds I bought was the panthers album! I can't stream it again but I've uploaded it so you can still download it if you want a listen! This is my favourite, from the time I heard the MSTRKRFT remixed version *grin* I love the implicit meanings, though I think maybe I should be a bit alarmed that I find the sleazy pickups rather charming.

I think I’m gonna leave Brooklyn for a while
I think I’m gonna go Oakland for a while
I’m gonna wear shorts and I’m not gonna cry
When I listen to "Wild Horses"
Because...

I dig holes all day
We're not searching for a change
We speak in secret languages we can't explain

You didn't
You didn't hurt me yeah
I've got no feelings left

I dig holes all day
You and me we're not the same
We speak in sounds
The secret sounds that secretly slang

Let’s not talk about it
We never did so why start now
Let’s go back to your place and not talk about it there

I was thinking we should sleep in separate beds
But the heat’s gone to my head
Let’s get tired at the same time tonight

Tonight
Tonight we'll get right

Why did you?
Why did you say the things you did?
I thought you knew that we were through
We'd never start

I thought you
I thought you'd think the things we knew were all brand new
You think you're smart?
You're so smart

Stop fucking
Stop fucking with me and I’ll stop fucking with you too
It’s hard to do
I love you
