I've been listening to "Liar" by Built to Spill a lot over the past couple of days. Probably 8 times in the past 12 hours (and I was just asleep for almost 7).
When things are all you think of,
And plans are all you make,
And thoughts are all you dream of,
And falls are all you take.
Look out, the world's destroyin' ya.
Relax, it isn't fair.
...
I wouldn't be a liar,
No, I wouldn't be a liar if I told you that.
...
It takes up all of your life,
These decisions you make.
Melancholy meaning is everywhere. In an item of clothing I put on this morning. The cab stand I passed on my way to and from buying my coffee. The recycling I just took out. All the things I think of.

"when I was a kid I saw a light
flying high above the trees one night
I thought it was an alien
turned out to be just god"
captures Built to spill in a nut shell.

Ted
