the stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun

this song is playing on repeat, on windows media player, and in my brain/heart



just because it needs to happen doesn't mean is isn't a touch sad, right?

You say you wanna move on and
You say I'm falling behind

there's something of the motown aesthetic in this. it's a bit heartbreaking, but there's some kind of inerta or momentum in it, something like JUST KEEP WALKING. which seems a little bit betrayed by the bit of "are you sure this is what you want? you really think it's me?" and "i'm going to be sad without you"; but then there's the overall sense of inevitability.

i don't know if there's a baseball metaphor anywhere in this. i suppose not.
