mote & migraine Wednesday

today i woke up with a bad headache
and an awful sinus pain
made it to work only to leave
a couple of hours later
after many pills (which i hate taking)
failed attempts of naps and
uncountable cups of tea
i feel a little better...

so, looking around the web
i found a Sonic Youth song/quote/post
on a German blog
and it reminded me of how much i loved this song
and how Sonic Youth was, and still is,
one of my favorite bands of all times
and how much i appreciate, specially all the songs
written and sung by Lee Ranaldo
my preferred poet of noise
so this is not migraine-curing music
but it's good to remember good old things of
one's youth, when feeling down
so here, enjoy Mote, strange video
and weird lovely noisy tunes
and some good obscure lyrics to scream to



[Lee]
When you see the spiral turning through alone
And you feel so heavy that you just can't stop it
When this sea of madness turns you into stone
Picture of your life shoots like a rocket
All the time

Put 'me' in the equation it's alright
I've seen you moving in and out of sight
My friends tell me it's all cut through you (?)
From nowhere - to nowhere
Cut together - cutting through

I'm island-bound, a mote inside my eye
I can't see you breathing as before
I am airless - a vacuum child
I can't stand to reason at your door
In this time

Put 'me' in the equation it's alright
I've seen you moving in and out of sight
My friends tell me it's all cut through you (?)
From nowhere - to nowhere
Come together

I'm down in the daytime out of sight
Comin' in from dreamland I'm on fire
I can see it's all been here before
Dream a dream that lies right at your door

When the seasons circle sideways out of turn
And words don't speak just fall across the carpet
You're just in time to watch the fires burn
It seems a crime but yr. face is bright you love it
All the time...

Mote--one of my absolute favorite Sonic Youth songs...definitely not what I'd put on when I have a headache, though...

About the headache i can feel you but i have been trying not to take bills (when it's possible). About the song, it's a very nice one but i agree with the previous comment...

hallo Dr. Jay and Diatton

glad you know Mote/enjoyed Mote
yes! a beautiful song

and yes! i didn't listen to it while having the migraine either, when i have migraines, i cannot listen/see/smell anything, is ALL too annoying... but the reminder of this song, indeed raised my serotonin levels and reminded me of happier times in my life... just the reminder worked...

hope you both have a good weekend, full of sounds, sights, and smells that make you happy

Hola Berenice,

You are right, Sonic is not good for migraine.

With or without the Sonic-pills, wish you a speedy recovery and a long stretch of good health.

Georg
