if i was the music
(off the top of my head, so these may not be my most real answers)
if i was a band's name, i would be a red house painter
if i was the music, i would be pinback's
if i was a soundtrack, i'd choose run lola run
if i was an album cover, i would be gillian welch's soul journey
if i was to have a song sung to me, it would be the postal service's brand new colony, specifically the words: "i'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite
albums back as your lying there drifting off to sleep..."
if i was to sing words one day to someone when i could mean them, i'd borrow from the be good tanyas: "i'm always drawing your colors..."
if i was the words before the song, i would take them from dj shadow:
"and here's a story about being free"
if i was the heart of a musician, i would hope to be david bazan's
this is so cool kelly. your answers are lovely.
"drifting off to sleep..." is running through my head. : )
i might have to steal this...
Posted by: steph at February 14, 2005 11:45 AMi'm such a geek, i don't know who alot of those musicians/songs are - but i like the way it all sounds - and if the heart of the music is anything like the heart of you, it must be lovely.
i always love dropping by and reading what you wrote. i leave feeling like a better person.
Posted by: cheryl at February 14, 2005 11:32 PMIf i could be a song i would be blower's daughter by damien rice, its so passionate and raw and honest
if i could be a moment i would be one that is on a cliff overlooking landscape that looks like squiggles and blurred squares when you forget time and the world and the bustle
if i could be a vegetable i would be broccoli, it would be tough being hated by children, but id have more good stuff in in than you can even imagine
if i were a soundtrack id want to be the one to 'in good company' trust me on this one
if i were a man id want to be joseph, the old testament one-what an horrid and beautiful experience
if i were candy id be bubble gum
that'll do for now. i want to think of more. you should think of more so i can do some more too. some of these arent really me, they're just what i would want.

cheryl. thank you.
amy. thanks, friend. i am a huge geek also. i know nothing about artists or writers, and i really don't know anything about musicians either. i just borrow what i like from friend's taste...but i really get stuck on music(or it gets stuck in me).
steph. thanks. i want to know what music you would be. i think i can guess a few things already.

Been listening to Postal Service a lot, I think I'd like to someday sing the words "come down now, they'll say / but everything looks perfect from far away / come down now."
daniel. thanks. those are good words to sing.
