All right, muse, you got your update.

I braved the Armbuster Scanner just for you.

With great thanks to [livejournal.com profile] hidetomatsumoto for Suzanne Vega's "Solitude," the song "Gypsy" has been getting the muses active again.

Such a pretty song...



You come from far away
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
In the blue and silent sunrise
But night is the cathedral
Where we recognized the sign
We strangers know each other now
As part of the whole design

Oh, hold me like a baby
That will not fall asleep
Curl me up inside you
And let me hear you through the heat

You are the jester of this courtyard
With a smile like a girl's
Distracted by the women
With the dimples and the curls
By the pretty and the mischievous
By the timid and the blessed
By the blowing skirts of ladies
Who promise to gather you to their breast

Oh, hold me like a baby...

You have hands of raining water
And that earring in your ear
The wisdom on your face
Denies the number of your years
With the fingers of the potter
And the laughing tale of the fool
The arranger of disorder
With your strange and simple rules
Yes now I've met me another spinner
Of strange and gauzy threads
With a long and slender body
And a bump upon the head

Oh, hold me like a baby...

With a long and slender body
And the sweetest softest hands
And we'll blow away forever soon
And go on to different lands
And please do not ever look for me
But with me you will stay
And you will hear yourself in song
Blowing by one day

Oh, hold me like a baby...

You know she actually wrote that song about a friend of hers. They were both at some sort of festival, or camp--I don't remember for sure. I remember reading about that somewhere, or hearing it in an interview.

But yes, I love listening to that CD. My favorite time to do so, is when I go to bed, and then listen to it until I fall asleep...

Mmm, I love Suzanne Vega... my art teacher got me hooked by playing her stuff during class, but I haven't managed to find her first two albums yet. I did get an MP3 of that song though, just because for some reason Hardin claimed it. ;)

:) Your muse has reasons to be happy and feel like he gets the attention he wants.
