I'm intrigued now. I may have to check this out.

best motivation when studying... haha

Said what are you waiting for?

A written invitation?
A public declaration?
A private consolation?

I'm so in love with The Decemberists right now The lyrics to The Crane Wife (Part 1 &2) are some of the best ever. I literally get goosbumps during this song.

I know it's supposed to be "Favourite LINE" but here's the whole thing anyway.

It was a cold night
And the snow lay low
I pulled my coat tight
Against the falling down
And the sun was all
And the sun was all down
And the sun was all
And the sun was all down

I am a poor man
I haven't wealth nor fame
I have my two hands
And a house to my name
And the winter's so
And the winter's so long
And the winter's so
And the winter's so long

And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found

It was a white crane
It was a helpless thing
Upon a red stain
With an arrow its wing
And it called and cried
And it called and cried so
And it called and cried
And it called and cried so

And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
My crane wife, my crane wife
My crane wife, my crane wife

Now I helped her
And I dressed her wounds
And how I held her
Beneath the rising moon
And she stood to fly
And she stood to fly away
And she stood to fly
She stood to fly away

And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
My crane wife, my crane wife
My crane wife, my crane wife

[2]

My crane wife arrived at my door in the moonlight
All star bright and tongue-tied I took her in
We were married and bells rang sweet for our wedding
And our bedding was ready when we fell in

The sound of the keening bell
To see its pain erect
Soft as fontenelle
The feathers and the thread
And all I ever meant to do was to keep you
My crane wife
My crane wife
My crane wife

We were poorly, our fortunes fading hourly
And how she vowed me, she could bring it back
But I was greedy, I was vain and I forced her to weaving
On cold loom, in a closed room, with down wove

The sound of the keening bell
And to see its pain erect
Soft as fontenelle
The feathers and the thread
And all I ever meant to do was to keep you
My crane wife
My crane wife

There's a bend in the wind and it rakes at my heart
There is blood in the thread and it rakes at my heart
It rakes at my heart

My crane wife

Be mine, sister salvation.
Juke-Joint-Jezebel is coming for my cremation.
Be mine, sister salvation.
Closer now - see the revelation.

I am the city that will lie
You are the one that blame passed by
This is the place where I will weep
The loneliness of sweet conceit

What a tune

I have many favourite lines with some special meaning for me.
It's not so important who wrote it... or if you are curious, you can use Google


Life is a highway,
you're sitting on the wheel
and you decide the speed
Here is the easy
and there is the hard way,
it's either one...


You're a slave to your mind
But you are not your mind
You are not your pain
Say it again
You are not your pain
Say it again
You are not your pain
Happiness aint at the end of the road
Happiness aint at the end of the road
Happiness IS the road


But after a while you realize time flies
And the best thing that you can do
is take whatever comes to you
'cause time flies
She said luck is all you make it
You just reach out and take it
Now let’s dance a while
She said nothing ever happens
If you don’t make it happen
And if you can’t laugh then smile


Life is hard enough baby
Try to see things my way
Life is hard enough baby
Can't you see it in my face
And now I see I'm not
the girl I used to be
Times have changed


Yeah like a drop in the sea
that's how I feel sometimes
Like I'm stuck in the traffic or something


My heart is true but the road is long
and I'm a fool, cause I do you wrong
It's hard today to stay in line
But I'll try it all, anything you want
You got it all, you got it all today
You got my soul


... and probably more fave lyrics but it's enough already for now

Can't you feel our souls ignite?
shedding ever changing colors
in the darkness of the fading light
like the river joins the ocean
and the germ in the seed grows
we"ve finally been freed to get back home

Supper's Ready - Genesis

Novocain Stain by Modest Mouse

More housing developments go up
Named after the things they replace
So welcome to Minnow Brook
And welcome to Shady Space
And it all seems a little abrupt
No, I don't like this change of pace
