As some of you have heard, I experienced last night for the first time a dream that I woke myself up from because I was laughing. I don't know what I was laughing at. Someone said something funny in the dream.
I was therefore very very tired all day today. As I walked to school way too early, I started singing that bit from A Day in the Life that would describe this morning so well (woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head etc.) and I realized a few things.
1. The wording is really cool. Made the bus in seconds flat? Why can't I talk like that?
2. The important words in most songs are not only stressed but are on more important notes (usually higher).
3. It's amazing how you can make a song with only a few different chords sound so good. Like Let it Be. That's four.
And here I was thinking most of the stuff I listen to was simple. Easy to play backup on, sure. But it makes me feel very small to think of the time and talent necessary to create something.
I now have a pair of dollar-store sunglasses in my locker, along with the Slinky, assorted magnets, pictures, napkins, light-tight container, rolls of film, frog t-shirt, cleats, extra lock, extra sweater, Venetian flags, newspaper clippings, and of course binders (but a hell of a lot more loose papers than folders).
Lucky thing we met. Or not lucky.
