Lyrically Speaking

I've mentioned in the past that music is something that helps inspire me to write. I want to share some of these songs with you because even if you don't like the melodies, you should be able to appreciate the poetry.

My favorite band of all time, The Smashing Pumpkins, have a catalog of songs that range from hard rock to the softest piano. No matter my mood, I can find a song to help and I also have songs that are so lyrically amazing that I'll put them on repeat.

From the album Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness, this is Thirty-Three:

speak to me in a language i can hear humour me before i have to go deep in thought i forgive everyone as the cluttered streets greet me once again i know i can't be late, supper's waiting on the table tomorrow's just an excuse away so I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own the earth laughs beneath my heavy feet at the blasphemy in my old jangly walk steeple guide me to my heart and home the sun is out and up and down again i know i'll make it, love can last forever graceful swans of never topple to the earth and you can make it last, forever you you can make it last, forever you and for a moment i lose myself wrapped up in the pleasures of the world i've journeyed here and there and back again but in the same old haunts i still find my friends mysteries not ready to reveal sympathies i'm ready to return i'll make the effort, love can last forever graceful swans of never topple to the earth tomorrow's just an excuse and you can make it last, forever you you can make it last, forever you
