This music. It's beautifully balanced,
but it doesn't have the wamth of your arms
or your rushing laughter's heady buzz.
If I lose myself in it for a moment,
I can picture how this afternoon
could be: dozing, making love, blissing out.
I can hear the wind outside, but
I can't hold it. Sometimes, days without you
drag me, shambling, through. Modulating synths
and chilled, drummy fingers of rain blown
against these windows form a counterpoint
to a distant voice - yours - way up in the mix.
I imagine tomorrow again;
seeing you and holding you once more
(nothing else is like having you close).
I will step out of this cold, rain-filled air,
drenched with music, take you in my arms,
and feel your lips on my lips as we kiss.

Great album. I hadn't
Great album. I hadn't thought of its romantic sensibilities until now. Well done. (PS. the Richard D James LP is romantic too even if the cover is creepy and scary)

savage heart
Always makes me think of David and King Saul. Music soothes the savage heart.
