Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros: "Home" (original and Fromage Disco remix)

sorry for the lack of updates recently, freelurving
has been in cali and without internet connection.
so here's a two in one special for you!

...

[Her:]
Alabama, Arkansas,
I do love my ma and pa,
Not the way that I do love you.

[Him:]
Holy, Moley, me, oh my,
You're the apple of my eye,
Girl I've never loved one like you.

[Her:]
Man oh man you're my best friend,
I scream it to the nothingness,
There ain't nothing that I need.

[Him:]
Well, hot and heavy, pumpkin pie,
Chocolate candy, Jesus Christ,
Ain't nothing please me more than you.

[Both:]
Ahh Home. Let me come home
Home is wherever I'm with you.
Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome.
Home is wherever I'm with you.

La, la, la, la, take me home.
Mother, I'm coming home.

[Him:]
I'll follow you into the park,
Through the jungle through the dark,
Girl I never loved one like you.

[Her:]
Moats and boats and waterfalls,
Alley-ways and pay phone calls,
I've been everywhere with you.

[Him:]
We laugh until we think we’ll die,
Barefoot on a summer night
Nothin’ new is sweeter than with you

[Her:]
And in the streets you run afree,
Like it's only you and me,
Geeze, you're something to see.

[Both:]
Ahh Home. Let me go home.
Home is wherever I'm with you.
Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome.
Home is wherever I'm with you.

La, la, la, la, take me home.
Daddy, I'm coming home.

(Talking)
Him: Jade
Her: Alexander
Him: Do you remember that day you fell outta my window?
Her: I sure do, you came jumping out after me.
Him: Well, you fell on the concrete, nearly broke your ass, you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you out to the hospital, you remember that?
Her: Yes I do.
Him: Well there's something I never told you about that night.
Her: What didn't you tell me?
Him: While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was gonna be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you, and I never told you til just now.

[Both:]
Ahh Home. Let me go home.
Home is wherever I'm with you.
Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome.
Home is where I'm alone with you.

[Him:]
Home. Let me come home.
Home is wherever I'm with you.

[Her:]
Ahh home. Yes I am ho-oh-ome.
Home is when I'm alone with you.

[Her:]
Alabama, Arkansas,
I do love my ma and pa...
Moats and boats and waterfalls,
Alley-ways and pay phone calls...

[Both:]
Ahh Home. Let me go home.
Home is wherever I'm with you.
Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome.
Home is where I'm alone with you...

...

[me:]
why aren't you ever there when i'm there?

[boy:]
you're never anywhere

[me:]
i'm with you a decent amount of the time.
i'm a gypsy.

and there you have it.
a love song for nomads, gypsies, and others,
who have learned that the allure of home
rests not in the bricks or boards,
the street signs or landmarks,
but with those that you share your being with.
whether that's in the car, la, boston, vermont,
tennessee, on a boat, colorado, whatever.
you'll know it when you find it.

to my you(s),
can't wait to come home.

MSTRKRFT: "Heartbreaker"

first it was easy love,
now it's heartbreaker.
promise there will be an uplifting track tomorrow.

...

Remember when I caught your eye
you gave me rainbows and butterflies
we did enjoy our happiness
when our love was over
I was such a mess
I smiled at you
and you smiled back
that's when I knew, there's no turning back
you said you loved me, and I did too
now though it's over, I still love you

you're in my mind
you're in my heart
I wish I knew right from the start
all my friends said you'd break my heart
A heartbreaker right from the start

I tried to fight it
I tried so hard
and every day, I pray to god
that you and me were meant to be
but you had another, you had a lover

And now it's gone, I don't know why
I feel like crying, just want to die
I can't look at you, and you know why
no, I tried so hard, to catch your eye

you're in my mind
you're in my heart
I wish I knew right from the start
all my friends said you'd break my heart
A heartbreaker right from the start
[repeat]

...

if this song was playing in the car
nine years ago, i would be saying,
"why did he say he loved me?"
"why was i so stupid to think
he and i could actuually be together?"
"why did i risk friendships for
that one stupid kiss in the hall?"
and lastly, the one that lingered the
longest, "why do i feel so horrible?"

i felt so horrible because it was
the first time i had been in love...
whether what i felt then would be
considered love in my mind today,
i really can't even say. but, it was
the most wonderful and harshest thing
i'd ever felt, usually all at once.

on top of that, i was so young that
boys, my friends, and yeah... boys and
my friends were the two most important things
to me, at the center of my universe,
always on my mind, affecting every decision
i made. so when you told me you didn't
ever love me, that you had always loved her,
and didn't want to see me anymore,
well that was devastating. and when you
later said you wanted me back, i couldn't
have said yes faster, only to be crushed again.
and when you continued to call,
i knew i shouldn't, but i kept listening.
you were one of the hardest people
not to talk to. eventually, i stopped though.
i said never again. no more neverending there.
i haven't forgotten though.

on repeat: "Love vs. Porn"

while it's not the official music video...
the only other options are those videos
where you just stare at an album cover,
while a crappy quality version of the song plays
in the background. so! this a very random video
that i found with love vs. porn playing.
and i like it.

ever find yourself located at exactly
33°15′32″N 115°27′59″W / 33.25889°N 115.46639°W /
33.25889; -115.46639? i have not. yet.

wonder what it was that made him question
love vs. porn while there?
lack of humans is my first guess.
that whole no other options theory...
it flew in the bible, so it would definitely
fly in slab city. again, personal opinion.

Ladytron: "Another Breakfast With You"

my plea for peace...
freelurving not fighting!

...

I don't want to fight
just want a piece of your life
oh, if you come out to play
I don't want you to say...anything
I didn't feel a thing when you told me that
you didn't feel a thing when I told you that
I didn't feel a thing, another breakfast with you

[repeat]

(spoken)
Did you ever fall in love?
for a quarter of an hour or above?

...

reminds me entirely of an ex-boyfriend.

cliche? whatever. i waited and
waited and waited, and he was always late,
or not even there.
breakfast was the worst.
mostly because i wake up ravenous,
and he, well, didn't wake up.

no hard feelings though.
really just the whole breakfast
image that brings me back to those
moments of pacing around wondering,
wtf?! where is he.

Crosby, Stills & Nash: "Helplessly Hoping"

two in one special today!
and it's a request... oo la la.

...

helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby
awaiting a word
gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit
he runs wishing he could fly
only to trip at the sound of good-bye

Wordlessly watching he waits by the window
and wondersat the empty place inside

heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries
did he hear a good-bye or even

hello

they are one person
they are too alone
they are three together
they are for each other

stand by the stairway you'll see something
certain to tell you
confusion has its cost

love isn't lying it's loose in a lady who lingers
saying she is lost

and choking on hello

they are one person
they are too alone
they are three together
they are for each other

...

"this was the first song i ever had
with a boyfriend and i (also a fan of repeat)
would listen to it on repeat, alone in
my dorm room with the lights off and
the volume on max.

this was the way i always felt about us.
you were me and i was you... not in
time or in space, but in our minds.

ultimately we just wanted to
hold it together, but we couldn't.
i was that lady, lingering,
making you trip over my goodbyes,
but lost myself.

i wish it hadn't gone so sour.
i wish i could still hear your mind in mine,
as friends, still here for each other.

from this relationship what i miss most
is the friendship, but i believe it
lives on in its own space."

my paraphrasation of you know
who you are about the he who
may, or may not, know who he is:

freelurving is a learning experience,
not like learning calculus, but more like
learning first hand how to survive
every single accident covered in the
worst case scenario survival handbook guides...

guess i'm stuck on this
understanding business...
lost cause for the most part.
no, that's unnecessarily negative.
it takes work, but it's worth it.

so, enjoy the flashback to
jet grind (or jet set in japan)
radio with all the characters
busting hot rollerblading moves
to a medley of video game tracks.

happy valentine's day from freelurving

this valentine's day
let's aim for understanding.
or anti-valentine's day...
whichever rendition of this
candy coated holiday
you choose to recognize.

...

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh baby please don't let me by misunderstood

...

written by horace ott in 1964,
with the help of bennie benjamin
and sol marcus, this track was
originally performed by nina simone.
in 1965, the animals' cover quickly
became one of their biggest hits, and
ten years later, santa esmerelda disco
danced out a 16 minute latino version*,
also a huge success.

who will be next?

*please go to santa esmerelda's website
and then watch the video for "don't let me
be misunderstood" because it is all just
so ridiculous it's great... love the show
of french and us alliance with the
waving flags on the home page. so cheesy.

Solander: "Looking for Gold"

how come you're so cold
speaking is only when told to
i wasn't looking for gold
i was looking for you

i wasn't looking for gold,
but i was looking for you girl
i wasn't looking for gold,
but i was looking for you girl

how come you're always in bed
sleeping is only when scheduled
i was not joking
i was trying to get you involved

i wasn't trying to fool you
i was trying to be the one you want
[6x]

...

oh to be misunderstood.
i don't know how many times
what i was saying has been so
completely misconstrued in
freelurving situations.

i'm not going to pretend i know
what solander is saying in this song,
but i will tell you a little story
about a misunderstood boy and a mix cd.

i had my wisdom teeth removed one summer.
i was home alone and in a lot of pain.
luckily you lived right up the street
and were there to hang out and watch me
eat jello on my couch and nag me for
my painkillers i refused to share.
you made me a mix cd and called it
"donde esta tus dientes" for my moment.

i listened to that cd in the car
a few days later, and immediately had this
feeling you were trying to tell me something.
instead of listening to my gut reaction,
which malcolm gladwell tries to tell us to
do in his book blink... i shrugged it off and
thought, no, we're just friends, he wouldn't.

well you did, and you had wanted to
for a long time. i didn't know until it was
too late and you exploded. we haven't talked
in ages. everything turned awkward, too many tears,
too many misunderstood moments, too much.

you were just trying to be the one i wanted.
and i'm sorry. i was blinded by my love of us
as friends, the boy and girl next door,
inseparable and easy. i misunderstood.

on repeat: "Skinny Love"

who will love you?
who will fight?
who will be far behind?

...

my brother told me he would
give his leg or foot for my life,
but that he wouldn't want to give
his hand... he's an artist.

later that week i had a dream
and in it there was this man chasing
me, trying to kill me.
eventually he caught me and as i
was pleading for my life, i found myself
asking him to cut my arm off, below the
elbow, attempting to convince him
he didn't actually want to kill me.
i couldn't find my brother.

Rose Melberg: "Truly"

joy division, once again
you're right. freelurving hurts.

...

i cried too many times today
what would you say
if you knew
how truly i love you

come here better to hear me sing
forget everything
how i made you cry

ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
ooooo-ooo-ooo-ooooo

i cried too many times today

...

sorry for another not so uplifting
tune, but, the only way to get over
it is to get through it...

maybe you can use this one on
the hello, i love you mix,
or the come home i miss you mix
for your special someone that might not
realize how special they really are
and needs some reminding.

i was having lunch the other day and my
friend and i were talking about that
terrible cry yourself to sleep lurving
feeling that we don't think our former
flames ever realized they induced,
much less shared.

or are we right?

José González: "Love Will Tear Us Apart" (Joy Division cover)

two in one special is back!
a little valentine's day present
from freelurving to you.

...

When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low.
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow.
And we're changing our ways
Taking different roads.

Then love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed
Every feeling run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal that
we've kept through our lives.

And love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

Do you cry out in your sleep,
All my failings expose?
Gets a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold.
Why is it something so good
Just can't function no more?

And Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again...

...

something very catchy about
other side of the bed references.
especially when it's cold.
everyone is always talking about it.
i know i've spent nights crying
about it, days complaining about it...

i cried so many times for you that sometimes
my brother and my dad would ask me why
we were even together. for a long time,
a four and a half year time, and then some,
it was because i really just couldn't help
how much i loved you. no matter what
you did, mostly what you didn't do, i couldn't
stop. many of my tears fell on the nights
i found myself alone, wondering why you weren't
there next to me. i don't cry about you anymore
though, and i think we are both happy
where we are now.

i'd say this is an ideal, repeatable
break(ing)up song. one you can wallow
in, one you can get your point across with,
one you can rock out to once you've come to
terms with it all. whatever works for you.

how often do you think

Kevin Drew: "Love vs. Porn"

Well, I woke up and my mouth was a little dry
So I grabbed the moisturizer and tried not to cry
Spoke to my hand and then started to dream

You came into my bed and I tied you up
We went underneath and I taught you the cup
While people were watching how you and me breathed

And I got lost in the warm
And I got lost in the hole
And I got lost in the arms
The softness I'd stolen was never round to be loved

So, I got addicted to watching the screen
That kids today are kept pictures sex clean
And all the time the body slowly broke apart

No one knows any more how to cum inside
It's all about the dirt we hide in our pride
And tissues become a slow and wasted heart

We'll get lost in the warm
We'll get lost in the hole
We'll get lost in our arms
The softness we stole was never about the love

Ladies on the screen can never replicate
All the fatty lines where the skin ought to take
We must fool our eyes before we even kiss

The joy, the joy used to be in all the books
Kids today think that hookers are the hook
And that hearts beat better in a bed when they're missed

And they'll get lost in the warm
And they'll get lost in the hole
And they'll get lost in the arms
The softness they stole will never ever be able to love

...

awkwardly appealing.
the whole i, we'll, they'll...
why is that he assumes this
progression? it already happened?

either way, the best thing about being
in love, what i hope for, and what i think
a lot of people hope for, is being loved.
porn can't love you back.

but, wait,
"there's this rushing river that, unless
given an outlet, will build up and eventually
erupt..." that rushing river being the
masculinity of the men in the middle ages
and the outlet, despite the laws against
adultery, was obviously a prostitute.
fast forward hundreds of years,
they still have prostitutes,
plus they have porn.

another bettye levette moment...
i really did hear someone on the history
channel say that as i was writing this.
i'm watching "sex in the bible",
which is more like sexually charged hypocrites
finding any way possible to get laid.

i digress.

a note on BITTERSWEET

bitter+sweet makes bittersweet

the bitter being the hard to bear,
the grievous, the resentful,
characterized by intense antagonism or
hostility, and the hard to admit or accept...

think you can stomach that?
i'm having a hard time imagining all that
bitterness packed into one bite ever
going down with ease.

according to the dictionary's
use of bitter as a noun, we are to
learn to take the bitter with the sweet.

ohhh... that's what we're missing?

ok. add a dash of sweet, as in
the pleasing or agreeable, the dear
and beloved, and the easily managed,
and you'll probably have better luck.

we should read the dictionary more often.
us girls could stop wasting so much
time chasing all the bad boys,
letting them catch their breath and
realize a little sweet goes a long way.

like bittersweet chocolate.
both pleasant and painful or regretful.
i could eat that every single day.

Bon Iver: "Skinny Love"

Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

Norman Greenbaum: "Marcy"

are you shy
are you afraid
marcy knows you love her

if you're shy she will lead the way
marcy knows you love her

marcy knows that she's taking a chance
kissing you like she is
kissing you like she is
but it's the only way to spark romance in you

you didn't try, didn't try
are you shy
are you afraid
marcy knows you love her

if you're shy she will lead the way
marcy knows you love her

marcy knows she can no longer wait
you did not make a move
and now it's late
you did not make a move
and now it's late

you didn't try you, didn't try
are you shy, are you afraid
marcy knows you love her
if you're shy she will lead the way

Dirty Projectors: "Depression"

disclaimer: not one of the usual in love,
peppy, dancey, freelurving picks.
but everything can't be perfect all
the time, so sometimes you need
one like this.

...

Right here
All by myself
I ain't got nobody else
The situation
The situation is bleeding me there's no relief

Depression , Depression
Depression is gonna kill me tonight.
Depression , Depression
Depression is gonna kill me tonight.

I ain't got no friends to call my own
I just sit there all alone
There's no girls, there's no girls, there's no girls
that wanna touch me, get away I don't need your fucking sympathy
Depression is gonna kill me tonight.

Depression , Depression
Depression is gonna kill me tonight.
Depression , Depression
Depression gonna kill me...

Everybody just get away
I'm gonna boil over inside

They say
They say things
They say things are gonna get better
All I know is they fucking better
Depression is gonna kill me tonight...

...

here's a track to get your point
across if i've ever heard one...

not that this reflects how i
am currently feeling, i will say that,
at times, when i'm in a really bad mood,
horribly low, it feels good to wallow in it
for a minute or maybe 2 minutes and 40 seconds
and commiserate with a really wretched song.

and, if you feel the need to let someone else,
maybe a specific someone else, know how they
are making you feel, what better way to start
the fuck you mix, the you broke my heart mix,
the why won't you pay attention to me mix?

back in my back woods boarding school days,
yes i went to boarding school, i remember
being totally enveloped in confusion over
this one boy from home who i thought
i was in neverending lurve with and he just
continuously fucked with my head. and, because
i was only 14, it seemed like the most important
thing in the world and triggered many nights
of me sobbing in my room, blasting 88 fingers louie
"i hate myself" over and over. after a few repeats
i usually felt better. twisted? whatever,
it worked for me.

a note on FREELURVING in JAPAN

a brief continuation of the last post,
on the origins of the term free love
and hideki naganuma's home country
for all you freelurvers.

the 1969 film "eros + massacre,"
written and directed by yoshida yoshishige,
is a biographical drama about
sakae ōsugi, a japanese anarchist
and supporter of free love... his wife and
two lovers, which got a little messy
when one of the lovers decided to stab him...
and his assassination in 1923.
often referred to as the guide to
understanding japanese new wave.

so, there you have it,
some freelurving japanese film history.

use this one as you wish...

the concept of free love has roots
in many different historical periods.
the term "free love" as a noun is defined as,
the doctrine or practice of having sexual
relations or living together without legal
marriage or continuing obligation. the origin
of this (according to dictionary.reference.com)
is 1815-25. 1815-25?

you may be thinking,
what about the 1960s and 1970s?
orgies and such? that's free love too,
but often referring more to promiscuity
than the free of any regulation type of
love that was developed in earlier times.

so free love was too tame for him?
what's next freelurvers?
you can reflect upon that while
dancing to this Jet Set Radio hit.

Michael Franti and Spearhead: "I Got Love for You"

Another morning has come and the sun is high
But I know that today is the day that I might cry
Because I know you’re going
And I know you’re leaving
To somewhere you hope to find the peace of mind you’re seeking

In the back of a greyhound bus, it’ll take you far
In the back of a greyhound bus you can be who you are

And I say
La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La La
I got love for you
I got love for you

So I’ll be waiting my dear u-huh
Waiting right here u-huh
Waiting my dear u-huh
Waiting right here u-huh

I remember the time back when we was home
In and out up and down in this life what a crazy road
It’s been a long time that I shoulda said what I tell now
That I got faith in you
And I believe in you

In the dark of the night in the hotel when you’re alone
In the middle of the city where nobody cares to know
On the top of the town in the glimmer of the shining lights
You just shine on now
You just shine on now

And I say
La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La La
I got love for you
I got love for you

So I’ll be waiting my dear u-huh
Waiting right here u-huh
Waiting right here u-huh

And I’ve got love for you - love for you - love for you

And I know that you can’t say for sure when you’re coming home
But I got faith in you
And I believe in you

And I say
La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La-la-la La La
I got love for you
I got love for you

Another evening’s come and the moon is high
But I know that tonight is the night that I might cry
Because I know you’re going
And I know you’re leaving
To somewhere you hope to find the peace of mind you’re seeking

In the back of a greyhound bus, it’ll take you far
In the back of a greyhound bus you can be who you are

a note on SMITTEN

yes... smitten is an odd word. a whole
lot of love and pain wrapped up in
six little letters. i love that
smitten, which originates from the
word smite, is first defined as being struck
by a hard blow, then as grievously or
disastrously stricken or afflicted,
and lastly, this is the best part,
very much in love. therefore? therefore,
being very much in love... is like
being hit really hard and disastrously
afflicted. my aunt did always try to
teach me, that nothing in life was fair,
and to marry for money.
