Description
I don't look back much as a rule
and all this way before murder was cool
but your memory is here and I'd like it to stay
warm light on a winter's day.

Over the ramparts you tossed
the scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
tied to a brick
sweet as a song
the years have seemed short but the days go slowly by
two loose kites falling from the sky
drawn to the ground and an end to flight.

-The Shins, "Pink Bullets"

This is my entry for =mmebuterfly 's "My Perfect World" contest- [link]

Beautiful I really love all the shades of that brownish colour. It's almost fall now and this picture just warms up my heart already. Great job!

I love some of The Shin's songs, I should really find some more. I'm especially fond of Red Rabbit and Phantom Limb.

beanhugger In reply to BritishBiscuit [2007-09-02 16:59:22 +0000 UTC]

If Keane wasn't already numero uno, they'd certainly be my favorite band ever. "Red Rabbit" is one of my favs also-- my absolute favorite right now is "Saint Simon", which is on their Chutes Too Narrow album. If you can find that one in a store, BUY IT!

Also, I'm so glad you like this!! Fall is my favorite season so I'm glad it's finaly almost here.

BritishBiscuit In reply to beanhugger [2007-09-02 17:44:01 +0000 UTC]

I really do want to get the CD next time I head over to the shops (or wait till xmas although that seems a bit far) They are abosutly lovely!

Ah yes! Fall is also one of those seasons I just love looking foward to which is why works like this have a special place in my heart. I love the colours, how the trees loose their leaves, how the warmth turns to cold, and how my home seems much more cosy than usual. The fire definetly reminds me of cosyness and warmth inside a home as well.

Definitely get it- it'll be some of the best money you ever spend. I can't get it out of my car stereo- I listen to it constantly!

Cosy is exactly the feeling I associate with Fall-- the smells, the warmth, and the way people just seem to respond to multi-colored leaves.
