Playlist of the Week: In the Aeroplane, Over the Sea

Playlist of the Week does not denote my favorite songs, highly musical songs, or inspiring songs, but is merely an assortment of music that I am enjoying.  This playlist was fabricated from music I recently added to my computer's media player.  Although, I've had some for a while, Neutral Milk Hotel was added the most recently.  I thoroughly enjoy the majority of Neutral Milk Hotel's album.  

1) Let Me See You - Girl Talk
2) Centerfold - J. Giles Band
3) I'd Rather Be With You - Joshua Radin
4) Hey Ya- Matt Weddle
5) In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
6) Holland, 1945 - Neutral Milk Hotel *
7) Level - The Racounteurs 
8) Kissing the Lipless - The Shins
9) Video Killed the Radio Star - Presidents of the United States of America

* Favorite Track

Monkey ____

You laugh a gillion times a day
and everyone seems to know your name
because you, silly girl, love to say "hey"
to every teen, kid, or grown up the same.

Everyone should be like you
the world would be a better place
hell, it could practically be Disney Two
and everyone would have your smiling face.

Your energy is amazing,
You seem to run for hours
of course you always find me lazing 
and ask me to run and get you flowers.

Of course, I would, and I will
I would search until, wait, I see a 
huge, white flower just up the Hill
and I will pick it for you, Mia!

Que Sera

I walk along, with you
we walk the path most true
I get you home, all safe
you leave me the warm embrace

Now, why didn't I, try
for more.. with you
what happens happens 
I fell through

the hole 
of my heart
and my brain
missed the start
and I miss
what would have been
could've been
should've been

Shadow Puppets

Every sharp, dark angled
shadow forms only a tangled
mess of incoherent shapes
that inevitably makes
more confusing insinuations
that meld into deformations 
of children's dreams
and the unlocked seams 
of your lost imagination 
Each try is only degredation
of the happiness you once had
not the elaborate myriad 
of mystical beasts that would 
feed your sould If only you could
awaken your sleeping life
and be gone with this strife.
Use your flashlight,
your mind, and call it a night

Talking

This idea of simple conversation
yields only my frustration
by forcing those who won't 
to talk to those who don't 
care.  Everyone should 
listen to themselves and would 
better understand what they
cannot seem to say.
Most never find the words
and are seldom heard
thanks to their so-called-smarts
which really just fooled their hearts
into believing a lie,
it is not them being shy
but merely a smothered 
thought waiting to be uncovered.
