chokethewind | Darling, I'm drunk (Reply)

Leaving tomorrow to Phoenix, and then on Tuesday we leave for New Mexico. It's alllll happening. I'll be gone for ten days. I haven't packed or bought anything yet. I have problems.

Before I move onto MY SONG OF... RIGHT NOW, tour calender~

Jul 20 - The Launch Pad, Albuquerque, New Mexico
Jul 22 -The Conservatory, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Jul 23- The Loft, Dallas, Texas
Jul 24 - Emo's, Austin, Texas
Jul 25 - Sam's Burger Joint, San Antonio, Texas

Jul 27 - Spanish Moon, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Jul 28 - One Eyed Jacks, New Orleans, Louisiana

Intense. I'm not so stoked the only off day we have is in Oklahoma; I wish it were in San Antonio. I love San Antonio. Austin's downtown scene is awesome too; kitschy little Korean place, we will see you again. Of course... I am stoked out of my mind to see New Orleans. It's a 24 hour straight drive back, which I am less than happy about, but whatever, NEW ORLEANS. We weren't originally going to go to Baton Rouge or New Orleans, but since we were so (relatively) close, we added it. I get to spend my birthday in New Orleans. At least part of it, before the drive from hell, of course.

Looking at that, I guess I understand why people think we're insane. But this will be the last Lydia tour, and this is probably going to be the last mult-city tour we do, even for other bands we love. After this, I think it's time to be real grown ups. One last hurrah though.

Time for a Margot song.

Margot and the Nuclear So and So's - Broadripple is Burning

ps, the download is the acoustic version. I like the acoustic version the best (there's three different versions I think), but I can't find the acoustic on youtube.

This fucking song. This fucking band. I've written a few fics based on these songs, and they're just so... you feel everything. You want to smoke a cigarette and drink a beer and just sit in a cold room and look at the ceiling. Once you get into them you don't want to listen to anything else (for awhile haha). If I didn't have Lydia or MCR, I'd be all over this. I've never seen them live, but I hope so, one day. It's twangy and folky and dark and throaty and awesome. If you don't listen to any of these songs, I think you should listen to this one at least. I think this band has a little for everyone.

Oh honey,
Broadripple is burning
And the girls are getting sick
Off snorting coke up in the bathroom
While their boyfriends pick up chicks

And darling, I'm lost
I heard you whispering that night in Fountain Square
The trash-filled streets made me wish we were headed home

And there was love inside the basement
Where that woman used to lie
In a sleeping bag we shared upon
The floor most every night
And darling, I'm drunk
And everything I that I have loved has turned to stone
So pack your bags
And come back home

And I'm wasted
You can taste it
Don't look at me that way
'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope
I'll be hanging from a rope

And if my woman was a fire
She'd burn out before I wake
And be replaced by pints of whiskey
Cigarettes and outer space
Then somebody moves
And everything you thought you had has gone to shit
But we've got a lot
Don't ever forget that

And I wrote this on an airplane
Where the people looked like ants
And when a woman that you loved is gone
She's bombing east Japan

Don't fucking move
'Cause everything you think you have will go to shit
But we've got a lot
Don't you dare forget that

And I'm wasted
You can taste it
Don't look at me that way
'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope
I'll be hanging from a rope

And I'm wasted
You can taste it
Don't look at me that way
'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope
I'll be hanging from a rope
