freelurving for one



Ratatat - Seventeen Years


Found at skreemr.com


while freelurving is definitely a
two person sport... sometimes you
just have to go it alone.

i was driving in my car and
this ratatat track came on and
the beat just hit me, like with most
ratatat tracks, but then i thought
about the lyrics and how in your face
they are and the ego / drive they convey.

thinking about freelurving as a solo sport
made me think of alone in kyoto, by air.
discovered this gem while watching one of my
favorite movies
and it's always spinning on
my "working" and "really working" playlists.

either song can be taken in many ways.
whichever way you choose, hopefully
you'll agree they rock.

ESG: "You're No Good"


baby, you really need ya
baby, you really want ya
baby, you really love ya

and baby, you really hold ya


chorus:

but you're no good, (you're no good)

you're no good, (you're no good)

you are no good, (you're no good)

you're no good, (you're no good)

ooooo


i said baby, you better need ya

i said baby, you better want ya

you really love ya, love ya, love ya

you better baby


chorus


you better need ya, (yeah)
you better want ya, (yeah)

you better love you, (yeah)

you better want you, (yeah)

you better love you, love you, love you, love you,

love you, love you, love you


uhhh
i said baby,
you better need ya

baby, you better want ya

you made me love you, love you, love you, love you

(you better baby)

chorus
...

a little juxtaposition here,

a break from the mushy songs...

for the ones you love to love

and that love to love themselves


you know those boys

(applies to girls too)

that so obviously love themselves?
whether it's a cover for other
insecurities
or just a serious
ego maniacal thing,
it doesn't leave
much room for them
to love
anything else... especially not you.

well, they really are "no good"
so forget about it
