soundtracks

I woke up with a Fountains of Wayne song in my head today - I Will Wait for You.
(not a well-known song, it's off Welcome Interstate Managers... who knows what archive that sprung from.)

Although most of the day I've been chasing the Monkees (Last Train to Clarksville) out of my head with indie-rock via the iPod. It's not working as well as I would like. This is what I get for writing my thesis instead of heading to trivia last night.

Though I'm up to page 33 (of 50 to 60 pages)... so I'm feeling meagerly accomplished.

stuck in my head

Dar Williams' Miss You Til I Meet You. It's been stuck in my head since last night's bout of insomnia.

I tried again, I went last night.
Another date was just not right.
And as I drove myself back home,
A little voice said just be alone,

But sometimes I think I see you in a crowd,
It's not picture perfect,
but you're meant for me somehow,

And I'll miss you till I meet you,
I'll miss you till I meet you,
I miss you all the time.


I love the world just as it is.
And I won't lose my faith in it.
But there are days I think of you
Saying, 'hey, that's beautiful,Yeah, I see it too.'
It all goes by so fast, like waving hands
You want to capture things, find someone who understands,
And I'll miss you till I meet you,
I'll miss you till I meet you,
I miss you all the time.

Can you keep me awake?
I thought you could help,
Just to feel my way,
Find my better self.

I'll miss you, I'll miss you, I miss you all the time.

The morning's gone, all dreamed away,
But that's all right, it's Saturday,
When people think that they might see
The next chapter, their destiny.
And when Monday morning comes around,
I'll get the work done, but I'll listen for the sound.

And I'll miss you till I meet you,
I'll miss you till I meet you,
I miss you all the time.
