A month of music - day 31

Stephen Malkmus - Freeze the Saints (live, acoustic)

A full 31 days of tracks I enjoy - take that, universe. I hope you enjoyed it too. I couldn't find any decent videos for this one at first but then I found a KCRW morning becomes eclectic session. Check out "No More Shoes" and "It Kills" from the same session. Also see: "Baby C'mon". I never cared much for Pavement but "Face the Truth" is an excellent album.




We meet again
Riding our divisible bodies
Feel no shame
Luck is love is on

If you need the pain
Well you are, yes you are so much like me
Seasons change--nothing lasts for long
Except the earth and the mountains
So learn to sing along and languish here
Help me languish here

It was long ago
That all of your willing dimensions
Lost the flow
And vanished in vaneer

But iI want to know
If you are, yes you are so much like me
Steel restraints
Zodiac ballet, everybody play
There's no more counting days, you languish here
Help me languish here

You said, "done is good,"
But done well is so much fucking better
Share the wealth
And cauterize the tears

If you want to know
Well you are, yes you are so much like me
Freeze the saints
Such a subtle read, exquisite pedigree
Just let yourself be and languish here
Help me languish here
