07/28/2005: "Imaginary Kisses"

It has been AGES
since I watched Rage
and enjoied it.

Tonight
it is FANTASTIC!
I think it has something to do with
Splendour in the Grass this weekend
& this is a special selection.

Nonetheless,
it is FANTASTIC!!!
I have not held as much Hope for music
in YEARS!

It is a message.

I went to bed last night with the Modern Giants album Satellite Nights
and a glass of cab sav.

There is a story below.

A few weeks ago
in the afternoon
I was smitten with a migraine
and was forced to retire to The Rectory
for the duration.

I took a fistful of drugs,
hit the pallet
and switched on the radio;
RN's The Deep End had a live band in the studio.

To my greatest joi
they were fantastic!
Strummy strummy guitars,
a little girl singing "heartbeat, heartbeat"
slightly outta tune
AND A GUY TELLIN' STORIES!!!

I love this stuff!

I fell asleep the second they finished
with a smile on my face
and awoke, refreshed and healthy,
early the next day
still smiling - "heartbeat, heartbeat"

I HAD to have the album
and finally carved out some special time
to listen to it yesterday.

SO me & Modern Giants,
the little girl singing "heartbeat, heartbeat"
and a glass of cab sav
went to bed last night.

She sang,
they played,
he told me stories,
I forgot about the wine

and I slept

properly;
completely,
deeply,
with happy dreams

for the first time in two weeks.

I awoke late today
with a smile on my face

& a smatter of imaginary kisses.
