i'm listening to an album, the recorded effort of the Sunparlour Players (the band i raved about in this post: http://like_you_care.blogspot.com/2006/04/sunparlour-players.html ) and wow - being catapulted into smiles i despaired i'd forgotten. oh, how all-consuming can heartbreak seem... but tonight, it is the musical bliss that is all-consuming.
smoking a stress-soaked cigarette, smelling the born-again air, grinning madly, stomping a wild foot.. oh the sunparlour
players!!! i love it i love it i love it!!
and yet.. their album is good. it has all the energy and musicality and vigour i love in them. and yet... it lacks that mad onslaught of cacaphonous glee! i can't taste that charge in the air, smell the sweat on the necks of head-bobbing throngs, feel the kick drums through my bones. i think the real problem is that i'm longing to see them perform again.
and it's not just a desire to see them. it's a low deep rumbling. i felt it the other night, when i was hanging out with that young hottie, the perceptive james dean type... he saw it. he asked, and i ask myself: is toronto truly calling?
a part of me feels i left it prematurely...
shrug
who knows what's to become of me.
