when i'd hear a particularly poignant piece of music
i'd make a music video in my head
or a snapshot out of a film/storyline/idea to it
but let's let bygones be bygones on dreams i haven't realized
instead, let's remember the songs that were perfectly suited to their scenes -
like elliott smith's needle in the hay in the royal tenenbaums
last christmas, after the throes of family discontent and gatherings had diminished
and i was left to my own lazy devices
i plowed through 3 seasons of Son of Anarchy
i don't think i cried throughout the entire show at all - mainly because i'm a heartless bastard
then, during an emotionally charged scene (oh internal struggles, you)
mark kozelek's voice drifted in
and i smoked a cigarette while tears made hot little tracks down my face
patiently waiting for the episode to end
so i could find the song
and post it near and wide
to all my friends
titling it
"no this is not my guitar..."
