I think I'm in love...

I present to you Anna Nalick, my new obsession du jour (they rotate fairly regularly), and her song, "Breathe (2am)". God, this song hits me like a ton of bricks every time I hear it.



2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason

'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe

In May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a Day", he said down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe

There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.

Not trying to kill the mood or anything... but stare at her picture for a few seconds. It's really pretty at first, but the eye makeup and angle of her face make her look weird and evil after keeping your eyes locked on it for a while.

Thanks on the compliment, but I'm better than that spanish... what? I don't get it.

And I do shake my tail feather whenever the muzak at work plays Grateful Dead's "Golden Years".

Goddamned catchy song.

Ohhh, she does look evil when you stare at her pic.

My guess is that this photo was created by using a wide-angle lens and getting real close with a large aperture, confining the depth of field to only her face, but causing subtle distortions as well.

But, damn, gaze into her eyes... GAAA!
