living in a bottle

living in a bottle has to have some relief, right? why else do people spend their nights in the bar or by the liquor cabinet. never going to be a solution, but it feels good after that first shot. right.

i hope you enjoy this song as much as i do.
i couldn't stop watching the music video last night.

my favorite part of the video (about 1:34min into the song ), the line "there's nothing like living in a bottle", and you see this beautiful facial expression from the older man in the white t-shirt; his eyes are so powerfully embodying that line. his eyes are so beautifully captured but its scary (in a way where you feel like you are disconnect with that person). my grandfather does that a lot (after so many years of drinking even without drinking he does that), maybe thats why my dad ran away from home after middle school.

this song keeps me awake, thank you Cat Power.
i love her voice and lyrics
so take a listen and enjoy.






lived in bars (lyrics)- CAT POWER

we've lived in bars
and danced on the tables
hotels trains and ships that sail
we swim with sharks
and fly with aeroplanes in the air

send in the trumpets
the marching wheelchairs
open the blankets and give them some airs
words and arches bones and cement
the lights and the dark of the innocent of men

we know your house so very well
and we will wake you once we've walked up
all your stairs

there's nothing like living in a bottle
and nothing like ending it all for the world
we're so glad you will come back
every living lion will lay in your lap
the kid has a homecoming the champion the horse
who's gonna play drums guitar or organ with chorus
as far as we've walked from both of ends of the sand
never have we caught a glimpse of this man

we know your house so very well
and we will bust down your door if you're not there

we've lived in bars
and danced on tables
hotels trains and ships that sail
we swim with sharks
and fly with aeroplanes out of here
out of here
